I wish they'd hurry up and announce the DLC add-on arcade games that they teased back in spring for Arcade Stadium.
Ah, I had no idea they already announced add-ons! I'm down. I wish more of the retro arcade releases were all in one hub like this. I'm looking at you Namco and Arcade Archives.I wish they'd hurry up and announce the DLC add-on arcade games that they teased back in spring for Arcade Stadium.
I love what the Analogue Pocket has achieved (the faithful presentation and screen modes especially) but I don't have any cartridges for these early platforms and am not interested in building up a cartridge library again. So at the moment I have no reason to shell out a few hundred bones just to wait over a year for delivery.I feel good about my decision to skip the Analogue Pocket. As much as I admire the design, and would like to own one, the pre orders are insane. Basically they sold out almost instantly when it went live. so if I ordered one I'd be charged $220 instantly, and have it shipped first quarter 2023.
I have a pre-order in for the Steam Deck. Although I'm in the third shipping group, it would still arrive a year before the Analogue Pocket. I'm curious to see what kinds of retro gaming options will be available on it (I'm guessing there will be a lot).With well over $200 being tied up into possibly 2023 (Although I don't think it said "Group C: 2023" when I ordered like the store page now says), I decided to hold off on the dock for now. Shipping is crazy and it will cost more in the long run to get that separately, but almost $400 being tied up for possibly two years was a bit too unpalatable.
Nice goin Leo.I did what I wasn't going to do and ordered one, but only went for the Pocket itself. My debit card was rejected when preorders opened and by the time I got around to calling the bank, several hours had gone by (Analogue is Hong Kong based and apparently that was a red flag for my bank).

Hopefully though I'll be in Group B (Late next year), which isn't too distasteful for me.
Not too bad.As expected, I'm in group B (4th quarter of 2022).
Thanks Leo,Other than the lack of systems from Sunnyvale, amazing setup.
I'd be tempted by some of these mini arcade cabinets of recent years if I had the space for a dedicated game room. Especially the Arcade 1-Up Outrun cabinet.
No RGB or component capabilities on the display that you have your SMS and Genesis connected to? If it did, while pricey, HD Retrovision cables would still be cheaper I assume than getting them modded for S-Video would be. Even cheaper would be RGB.
Some revisions of the 7800 have some slight compatibility issues, but in general it's 99.9% compatible. My two have always run every cart I've thrown at them, including sometimes problematic stuff like Pitfall 2 and Robot Tank.
