Already a rough road to launch for analog pockets. First announced it again in October 2019, Pocket – FPGA-based handheld console – did not rise for bookings before August 2020 because of the challenges presented by Pandemic Covid-19. Even though the pre-order was sold out quickly, the delivery date for the pre-order was then pushed back several times. Now we finally have the delivery date for the initial pre-order, and it’s good news for everyone who is interested in taking a pocket.
Pocket Pre-Order began to be sent in December
With the latest delay, analogues say that Pocket Pre-Orders stationed in 2020 will start shipping on December 2021. At that time, we were not given a certain date, but now we have one: on the website, analog announces it’s an initial order it will Start sent on December 13. The company said that emails were sent to those who had booked today.
Because of “unprecedented delivery congestion,” analogues said that the delivery of pocket pre-orders on that date will arrive around December 14 and December 30, giving us around two weeks for delivery. This, of course, is not good news for those who plan to travel for vacation, but analogues have a solution for that too.
If you won’t exist to receive your shipment and you don’t want to sit outside your home or apartment until you are back, you can contact analog and have it delay your order until the new year or ask it to change your shipping address. It can be done by replying the email you received or send an email to [email protected] with your request. Analog says that the last day of the customer can change their order is November 28, so remember if you need a change in address or detention.
Good news for everyone – not only those in advance
The fact that the pre-order of this initial pocket will start shipping is good news for everyone who is interested in the pocket, even if you can’t order it at this time. When analogly announces this delay in September, also notes that the pocket and its accessories will be refilled after the holidays, and the order will open once more.
So far, there is only one pocket pre-order round, so if you don’t order back on August 2020, you don’t have another chance. It might change shortly after 2022 starts, but the pocket hasn’t given us a specific date that it will open the order again.
There seems to be a lot to love your pocket if you are also a fan of handheld games. Built on two FPGAs, the pocket will come with out-of-the-box support for boys’ games, boys and boy cartridges, with adapters available for many other retro handhelds. Pocket will also have an optional dock that can be used to play retro handheld games on the big screen, super boy-style style.
So, if you are a fan of analog FPGA consoles and you have been waiting for the opportunity to order a pocket, it looks like that opportunity will come. You can read more about pocket, including full specifications, on analog websites, but on the contrary, we will notify you when analog gives us a certain date to restock 2022 pocket.
