Analogue Pocket preorders open August 3, ships May 2021 due to pandemic

The Analogue Pocket is closer than ever and yet still so far away. The company confirmed today that Analogue Pocket preorders start at 8 a.m. Pacific time (11 a.m. Eastern) on August 3 . But Analogue will not begin shipping the modern Game Boy revival until May 2021. It blames supply-chain challenges due to the “global state of affairs” for delaying the handheld.

You can preorder the Pocket itself for $200 and its separate TV dock for $100. Now, that makes the package as expensive as the Nintendo Switch (or a Switch Light without the dock). But Analogue is doing everything it can to justify its price.
