Analogue Pocket Price Increased Due to Tariffs; Pocket Dock Restocks at $99.99
Analogue, the company recognized for its high-quality FPGA-based hardware, has announced a $20 price increase for its highly praised handheld, the Analogue Pocket.
The portable device—which allows enthusiasts to play a wide range of physical cartridges from classic systems like Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and more—will now retail for $239.99, up from its previous price point of $219.99.
This move marks the second price increase for the Analogue Pocket since its launch, following an initial retail price of $199.99. The price rise is attributed to trade tariffs enacted during the administration of President Donald Trump.
In an official statement, Analogue explained the adjustment was necessary in response to the ongoing impact of these tariffs on consumer electronics imported into the United States.
As the landscape for hardware manufacturing and distribution continues to evolve globally, companies relying on international production and shipping must increasingly account for such external financial pressures. Despite the cost increase, there are positives for fans and collectors.
After a period of limited availability, Analogue has restocked the Analogue Pocket Dock, which now retails for $99.99.
The Pocket Dock is a key accessory, enabling users to connect their Analogue Pocket to larger screens, such as modern TVs through HDMI, and use external controllers for a home console experience.
This will be welcome news for owners who have faced challenges sourcing official docks due to high demand and restricted supply. In addition, Analogue has started selling its cartridge cleaning pads—previously only included with the Analogue 3D system—as a standalone accessory.
These pads have received positive feedback from retro gaming enthusiasts for their effectiveness in maintaining the condition of classic cartridges, including those for the Nintendo 64. The handheld gaming sector has recently seen other manufacturers, like Retroid with its Retroid Pocket 6, also announce upcoming price increases.
These developments reflect broader trends in the market, where the cost of components, shipping, and tariffs continues to influence hardware pricing for both classic and modern gaming devices. As Analogue continues to support its loyal user base with hardware restocks and useful accessories, the company remains at the forefront of the retro gaming revival, ensuring classic titles have a place in today’s gaming ecosystem.
Gamers can find the updated Analogue Pocket and Dock through the official Analogue online store, alongside other accessories designed to enhance the retrogaming experience.
