NGP/NGPC without a click stick doesn't seem like it's gonna be great. Hope that D-Pad is easy to roll quarter circles with.

I own a GBA EverDrive when I don't use my carts but it may not be needed if a jailbreak firmware is released for this like previous Analogue products.

EDIT: And I hope that dock is real.

Oh true, that'd be much easier if I could just load all my legally dumped roms that I own backup copies for onto an SD card. If this is a similar FPGA we might even get unofficial SNES/NES support?!?

What's the chance of being able to record gameplay internally on this thing? I'd love to be able to casually record a Pokémon playthrough without needing a HDMI solution.

If it has TV out I'm in even at $300 and even though that would be a bad move money-wise for me right now.

I wonder if there will be any support for link cables. Would be nice to have a good screen for some GBA-GCN connectivity.

I hope their site doesn't go to crap like when the Mega SG was announced. I remember it taking forever to get a pre-order in.

Last two Analogue systems I was able to comfortably buy in February and receive at launch, So I'm in no hurry to pre-order now

Does GB/GBC and GBA resolutions scale to the resolution of this perfectly? GB/GBC games doesn't fill the entire screen when played on a GBA because of differences in resolution. If GB/GBC games fills the entire screen on this, how will GBA games look?

Gameboy and Gameboy Color were 160x144, so those will fill a 1600x1440 screen with 10x scaling. Gameboy Advance was 240x160, so 6x scaling will work with some letterboxing on the top and bottom.

A dock eh? Not too bad for that price. I've never owned an Analogue product, from the posts I gathered ordering something from them is quiet a drag.

I assume the dock is a standard USB-C one, so you might be able to grab a cheap alternative if it isn't included.

x6 scaling on GBA would mean that 40% of the screen is unused when playing a GBA game which seems a bit excessive. x6.5 scaling would use 70% of the screen so that's a little better, but then you've got uneven scaling.

Would really surprise me if the dock is included at $200. Nonetheless, TV-Out, $200 and 1600x1440 screen makes it for a solid modern alternative.

it'd be great if this is compatible with the switch SNES controller (I guess compatibility with 8bitdo controllers is a given)

I can't imagine wanting to play the NGPC without the clicky stick, but still for everything else this looks good.

Could do 6x integer scaling and then bilinear to 1600px. Wouldn't look too bad at that screen size

I'm sooooo in. Everybody keeps asking about the link cable, but I want to know if it can connect to the Dreamcast! I have no idea where my cable went. Lol.

It's a pity for them they didn't get to make their announcement before the leaks.
