The acclaimed Analogue Pocket<\/a> multi-system portable handheld console is a bona fide hit. It\u2019s so popular, in fact, that it’s been sold out for weeks. Have no fear, would-be purchasers. Analogue just announced a major restock.<\/ins><\/a> The consoles will be available to buy on December 4 at 11AM ET. The company promises that these orders will arrive in time for the holidays.<\/p>\n

This restock only applies to the original black and white designs, and not those nifty limited edition colors,<\/ins><\/a> most of which remain sold out. If you miss the window on December 4, the company is doing another restock on December 8 at 11AM ET, but those won\u2019t ship until February.<\/p>\n

Analogue also announced a new operating system for the console, set to arrive in the next few days. Analogue Pocket OS v.1.2 fixes a bunch of bugs, adds support for new controllers, updates the music-making app Nanoloop and allows for new openFGPA developer tools.<\/ins><\/a> That\u2019s just the first update. Analogue Pocket OS v2.0 arrives before the end of the month and gives third-party developers access to the original display modes, like the iconic Game Boy aesthetic, among other features. These updates follow last year\u2019s OS v1.1.<\/ins><\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just the Pocket getting some love. The Analogue Duo is finally shipping on December 11, three years after the original announcement<\/ins><\/a> and over six months after pre-orders went live.<\/ins><\/a> The Duo is an all-in-one system that promises to play every TurboGrafx-16\/PC Engine title, even Bonk\u2019s Adventure,<\/em> a game that gave me no end of stress in childhood for obvious name-related reasons. The Duo plays both cartridges and compact discs. It\u2019ll even run games that originally required the Arcade RAM add-on included as part of the Japan-only SuperGrafx console. Again, Analogue promises deliveries by the holidays.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s also selling a limited-edition white dock for the Pocket, which also goes on sale December 4. However, this freshly-hued dock is more expensive than the original black model, at $130 instead of $100.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all good news for fans of retro gaming. Analogue announced a delay for the Pocket Adapter Set until February. This set adds new consoles to the lineup, so the system will be able to play TurboGrafx-16 cartridges, Neo Geo Pocket Color cartridges and Atari Lynx carts.<\/p>\n
