Analogue plans to reopen Pocket orders on Dec. 14

Analogue

After being hit by global supply chain issues, Analogue is finally ready to ship its retro Pocket console on December 13. And then, it'll reopen sales on December 14 at 11 a.m. ET. Orders are placed into three fulfillment batches — January-March 2022, October-December 2022, and 2023 — on a first-come, first-serve basis. The console gets a price increase of US$20 "due to industry wide component price increases."

If you want to check what the console offers before buying, Analogue says reviews are coming out on Monday. The Analogue Pocket is a handheld console that lets you play Game Boy, Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Atari Lynx games from their original cartridges. And if you aren't convinced, you can cancel your order any time before it ships.

The only exception is Encanto, which is coming to Disney+ on December 24 (around 30 days after its cinematic release). Eternals is an example of giving that minimum 45-day window.
