Tanooki | 4,934 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 For those who have the media for it, good luck. It would have been nice if they kept their crap together well into the past at this rate. I would have made the attempt to get this, but now all I've got is a PCE Mini and a full load hacked 2nd (hakchi'd) SNES CE with the card side of things. That's just a $250 money pit at this point with no media, media now that's horribly priced even on the poor to rotten stuff. And given their track record with their Analogue OS and writing what a system will offer out of the box, versus how much does NOT work with the Pocket and it's dock... NO, just no. Too many delays, and too many broken promises amounting to fraud to sell hardware/accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner | 2,741 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I just got a shipping notification from FedEx with "analogue" as the reference. I'm hoping this is my adapter set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 3,987 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 This is 1am my time so we’ll see how I go. I have a PC engine that works so it’s not a must buy for me but I wouldn’t mind one. Can’t wait to see the ridiculous FedEx shipping fee, will probably be more than the console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember if the adapter set had "batches" or not. Also I haven't received a notification from Analogue yet. Only from FedEx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stupid as it may sound, I primarily bought the Pocket to play my Gameboy/Color/Advance games on my CRT TV, but as of right now I can't. Dude...ugh. I never considered the DAC as I didn't have that little PVM I have now, it was all about the rest you said -- the dock. I do enjoy handhelds more, but sometimes I want to lazy as F slouch on the comfy chair with a controller and enjoy on the big screen. I was all about immediately slapping down that added $100 for that dock. Website had promises of things like wireless controllers, wired controllers both you can configure, various settings for display(type, resolution, colors, magnification, manual settings) etc that all work and save, even the memories etc stuff(didn't care there.) You've seen the site. They also promised those other system docks at $30/ea, get what you want for it too. Instead most wired and wireless controllers do not work. They will not allow you to setup a controller setup as it's grayed out, I had to buy a pad that defaulted correctly after checking a few I have (both types) here. Then GBA is fine for a LCD these days, but the box of 8bit GB/C by default doesn't fit the screen, you have to hit 7x minimally or other to re-size it all and you can...same with colors, modes, etc... as soon as the system is turned off...it's lost. It's aggravating having to deal with it every start. They lied to get $100. Then they killed off the individual adapter sales, then they bundled all three or nothing and raised the price $10 (they also got a worse partner as shipping nearly doubled too.) They even killed off one of them (PCE adapter) quietly probably over the Duo, but when I had ordered it was supposed to be in the deal of choices. Because of their antics, price hikes, discontinuations I had been down scaling at that point and they put the nail in the coffin on two systems. NGPC I was on the fence modding or not, then the collections(1+2) dropped with all my games and with the 3pk bs...sold it. PCE I was on the edge with flash kit only, no HDMI choices, asinine prices even on bad games now and they killed that product so I sold off both. They lied, delayed, changed the terms of the sales deal, rigged the prices to move more shit people weren't wanting much(lynx adapter surely) in bundles, killed off other promised products, and still have left broken holes with the pocket (largely the dock.) I don't trust them anymore. I got my game gear adapter second hand for the shitty price they now charge for it +shipping yet I didn't have to wait until christmas to get one. F them.

I guess it depends how limited it really is but TG-16/PC Engine is a lot more niche than NES/SNES. I’m guessing that if you jump on within the first 30mins you shouldn’t find it too difficult. I was considering getting it but I think I’ll pass. The shipping is going to be crazy expensive and I can’t justify it when I have an excellent condition pc engine R.

TDIRunner | 2,741 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Don't know. But I had no trouble ordering. I went with black since my other Analogue models are all black (or noire). I specifically made room for this product when I setup my new game room a few months ago. I made room both on the shelf, and within my switching equipment, so it will be a welcome addition to the setup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elprincipe | 142 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Grabbed one. I was pretty angry about the $34 shipping before reading what our Canadian friends have to put up with here. I have to say, if it was $80 that would have been a deal-breaker for me, how utterly ludicrous. But excited to get my hands on one of these!

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I've seen many in the states paying $50 for shipping so $34 is getting off easy it seems, and Canada looks largely to be $80. I really wish I knew who they have packing their goods unless it's some hidden handling fee as it's ridiculous. I guess the rush and panic wasn't needed, it's still up for sale currently 2 1/2 hours after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced that Analogue is actually a subsidiary of the postal service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
