I can already hear you crying out about how your mom doesn’t like games. As my office workers who happen to be moms love to point out, moms can like games. If your mother has any nostalgia for the first era of gaming handhelds, this gift will thrill her. If any leftover Game Boy cartridges are lying about, then the Analogue Pocket will allow your wife to jump into all her old games with a new, fresh coat of paint. At $220, it might be a better option than tracking down an old Game Boy Advance.
The Pocket has been out of stock for ages, but just in time for Mother’s Day, Analogue says they’re doing a restock on May 10 at 11 a.m. PT, 8 a.m. ET. This may be one of your few chances to get one outside of a reseller.
The benefit of the Pocket is that you don’t have to depend on emulation, but if your wife or mother has any know-how, you could go for something like the $60 Miyoo Mini that is totally reliant on emulation.
