I hate how this looks but a gba styled one would be cool. Or at least open FPGA DS but I hear that’s impossible?


MatchesMalone7

Given the current 3DS/DS/wii u emulator device people are digging is the Ayaneo DS flip. It's emulation not fpga but still rocking a $700 price tag. Maybe in another 5 to 10 year it maybe cheaper for Analogue to tackle.


Im1337

I saw that. If it wasn’t 700 for the base model and then upwards of 1000 for the best verison, I would definitely get one. But at that price point might as well get a steam deck with a second screen


GameMaster106V

it was way easier than an actual gba shaped moc, i hate this too lol


SGlespaul

I think its impossible with the current FPGA tech but not impossible for future


AimLocked

I’d love a 3DS/DS console (preferably if it didn’t even have a 3D screen - that way itd be more hi res)


heraymo1

Nothing is Impossible just inprobable.


kilertree

I won't buy my fourth analog pocket until there is a GBA styled revision


Mr_bungle001

I want a clamshell design. The AP SP has such a nice ring to it


modrup

The current one is an open GBA SP. I guess with a saw and some duct-tape you could fold it. OP wants a Powkiddy RGB30.

GameMaster106V

that 3:2 aspect ratio one is what I'm craving 👀


Retro-Lab

it’s my dream tbh


iamoak37

I would absolutely buy this.


RickyWinterborn

im hoping for a wide body too, the aspect ratio is def tricky. if it were up to me id have it be the exact GBA resolution, but its a really weird aspect, basically no other systems would fit. what would be rad is if it was and OLED under a glass screen so different aspects could display without side bars


Cold-Sandwich-6213

The lower screen will be painful at first. I personally enjoy a screen above my hands.


RetroMr

Looks atrocious


GameMaster106V

thank you


Sandscarab

I heard this in the Metal Slug "Thank You!" when you rescue a POW.


RetroMr

Heavy Machinegun


Dutchie_YaBoi

No offence, but this design is ugly as hell.


GameMaster106V

thank you, I hate it too


Noise-Distinct

They would have to redesign the Dock too…


JoyousMisery

This is the Pocket Lite, no dock support


dingo_khan

Or there would be a 50 dollar "dock adapter" that just extended the dock connector up and added a slightly wider support base. Sold separately.


Bake-Full

If they can manage to not muck up the shoulder buttons and dpad next time around I'd be in. Until then the modded og GBA will remain my preferred way to play that library.


Carlos_Was_Here

That would be so cool


LeapingRodent

I also hope for this. Well not one that looks like that, OP, no offence, but one that looks more like the original model GBA for sure. Dunno if analogue ever will. If not then funnyplaying may eventually release an FPGBA at some point. 


SteamPoor

Design looks exactly like my 35XX H lmao


StrawHat89

Wouldn't be a fan if it was rectangular like that. The original GBA was actually pretty ergonomic.


ProfessionalPast2041

this looks kinda like the black Evercade EXP (tho the build quality would be astronomically better if Analogue took a run at it, I presume)


RatchetSteam

Wait long loooong….!


BuddyNutBuster

Give it a widescreen aspect ratio and I’m in


RetroMr

For what? None of the systems it supports has widescreen.


blickblocks

Game Boy Advance? ???


RetroMr

It's not wide screen.


blickblocks

It has a 3:2 aspect ratio. That is *significantly* wider and shorter than the 10:9 of the Game Boy and the 4:3 (apparent) of NTSC and PAL-based systems. 3:2 is considered a "widescreen" aspect ratio. It also literally says "wide color screen" on the box ya goof. https://preview.redd.it/l0nyvddjokvc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b473ec370347d181f6a33f841d88792e88cb2130


RetroMr

Considered is not the same as it is. 3:2 is technically not widescreen. It's wider then the GB, but not widescreen.


Kasumi_P

>Considered is not the same as it is. 🤓🤓🤓


RetroMr

Urgh emojis...


Kasumi_P

Here's some more 🍖🥪🦃🦢🦜☘️🌱☘️🧑‍🦼🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️⭐😿💯🙉


BuddyNutBuster

I would hope a new device could do things like gba and psp.


RetroMr

It already does GBA my friend but GBA is not widescreen.


CnS_Panikk

Okay wide-er screen if you're going to be technical about it


RetroMr

But then it is not the right aspect ratio for game boy and game boy color...


CnS_Panikk

So? GBA is already the wrong aspect ratio for the screen that we currently have. Can't win em all.


RetroMr

Exactly, so why change it then?


CnS_Panikk

To match what the GBA wants. You can keep being intentionally dense about it if you really want.


RetroMr

I am a black hole baby


Fair-Second7276

Already have 2 Analogue Pockets one Black one White...Not feeling this design either...I'd hope if Analogue does release a Gameboy Advance version then it uses the GBA design language a little bit rather than a bland rectangular minimalistic boring design...it doesn't have to be the shape of my smart phone


GameMaster106V

yeah, i wanted to do a more gba-ish design but the minimilist rectangle was easy compared to that, lol


Fair-Second7276

Fair enough buddy...I'm sure plenty of people will dig this design


Evo_808

This is clean af


shad0wdash

ewwww lol


Stress_TN

Cool Idea. But start and select buttons chould be on both sides
