The Analogue Pocket, a retro handheld console, is now available for purchase, but at a higher price than before. The console, which was initially released in 2020, has been out of stock for several months, leading to a surge in demand and a subsequent price increase.

According to a report by Kotaku [2], the Analogue Pocket is now available for purchase on the company's website, but the price has increased from $189.99 to $219.99. This price hike is likely due to the high demand for the console and the fact that Analogue has had to increase production costs.

The Analogue Pocket is a retro handheld console that allows users to play classic games from various consoles, including the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and Sega Genesis. The console features a 3.5-inch screen, a rechargeable battery, and a range of connectivity options, including HDMI and USB-C.

The Analogue Pocket has received widespread critical acclaim for its design, build quality, and gaming performance. However, the price increase may be a turn-off for some potential buyers, especially those who were waiting for the console to go back on sale.

In related news, Analogue has also announced that it will be postponing its Nacon Connect showcase, which was originally scheduled for March 4, to May. The company cited financial difficulties as the reason for the postponement [10].
