90’s kid, ici on parle principalement de JV récents (Nintendo & PC / Gamepass), de retrogaming, ainsi que de quelques (re)découvertes, que ça soit des films (surtout Disney / MCU) et d’autres choses au gré de mes envies ^^.
Same here. I love this little Pocket of mine (and even started a small collection). Probably one of the best purchase I made. I play it everyday, (re-)discover some of the best Gameboy games in the best possible conditions. Too bad Analogue communication is so bad and that they are unable to provide enough Pockets for everyone, leading to the classic scalping stuff :/.
It was so cool to play it online :D.
That’s a solid choice, also had my Windjammer period a long time ago :). Never thought a game inspired by Pong could be so good 😅.
Well, at some point, the issue will be addressed by Amazon. If it’s not possible to find good books anymore, they will loose money because people won’t by books from them anymore. If they don’t, someone will take the opportunity to make a « curated » platform.
It reminds me of the famous video games crash, when the stores were flooded by crappy games until Nintendo came with its « seal of quality ».
The main issue will be that independent authors will likely have a hard time to get an audience, since it’s likely that building a « curated » platform will ask entry fee to the authors.
Can you explain? Why blocking is not possible?
And that’s why I am very grateful to the emulation community (except for currently sold games / machines like the Switch obviously). Unfortunately, it is illegal at some point, but I believe it is the only way to save as much video game as possible for the next generations.
Well, Analogue does not communicate that much. They promised a lot of features but did not deliver all of them yet (even 2 years after the Pocket release). It’s also difficult to buy their products, which attract the greed of the scalpers. And they generally rely on pre-orders, meaning you pay everything upfront 1 year in advance (tough this seems to change a bit, they have in stock the Pocket they sell now).
Amazing hardware but poor communication, software (very slow to get any update), and frustrating to buy from.
While I can understand the general « mood » about Analogue, I really love my Pocket, and I almost had all the features I wanted day one, so I do not complain.
