"After several delays, the Analogue Pocket eventually shipped in December 2021 for those who'd preordered the console for $199.99. The company opened preorders once again in December 2021, but with a price bump to $219.99 due to "industry-wide component price increases." Those who preorder a Pocket this week will now have to pay $239.99 which the company blames on "recent tariff announcements.""
"The Analogue Cartridge Cleaners come in a 12-pack for $14.99 and are designed to "remove oxidation using a proprietarily designed dry, precision-fit cleaning pad without fluids or chemicals." They're one-time use only, but are potentially a more effective alternative to blowing into the bottom of your old NES carts."
Analogue announced a restock of its Pocket handheld with a price increase to $239.99, marking the second price bump since late 2021. The original launch price was $199.99 in December 2021, followed by an increase to $219.99 attributed to component costs. The current increase is blamed on recent tariff announcements. Preorders begin March 4th at 8AM PT/11AM ET, with shipping expected in June 2026. Available colors are black and white, while limited edition colors sell out quickly. Analogue also introduced Cartridge Cleaners in 12-packs for $14.99, designed to remove oxidation from game cartridges using a dry, precision-fit cleaning pad without fluids or chemicals.
