The Analogue Pocket Aluminum Edition is a limited-edition release of the popular handheld gaming console.
The device is compatible with Game Boy, Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Atari Lynx cartridges.
The Analogue Pocket, a popular handheld gaming console that plays Game Boy cartridges, has received a new limited-edition release. This time around, the device sports an aluminum body and is being sold as the Aluminum Edition. The Analogue Pocket Aluminum Edition comes in four colors: Indigo, Natural (silver), Noir (dark grey), and Black. While the original Analogue Pocket is made with high-quality plastic, this new limited-edition model does not come cheap, retailing at $499.99 as opposed to the standard version's $219.99 price tag. Pre-orders for the Aluminum Edition start on July 15th at 8am PT / 11am ET, with units expected to ship on July 17th. In addition to Game Boy cartridges, the device is also compatible with Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Atari Lynx games. It can also use Game Boy accessories such as the Game Boy Camera. The Analogue Pocket has become a popular choice for those looking to dust off their Game Boy cartridges since its release in late 2021. Its ability to play various gaming systems while maintaining a familiar but distinct style has made it the best possible way to enjoy your handheld gaming collection, according to my colleague Seth Macy who reviewed the Analogue Pocket. Taylor, the reporter who covered this story for IGN, noted that Analogue has released multiple limited-edition models in recent months including a glow-in-the-dark version and a transparent shell with color variants reminiscent of the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. The Analogue Pocket Aluminum Edition is expected to sell out quickly due to its limited availability and unique design, making it an attractive collector's item for gaming enthusiasts. Taylor also mentioned that Analogue has plans for another handheld device called the Analogue 3D, which will be a Nintendo 64 recreation. The company had originally planned for a 2024 release but may have been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.

The author does not provide any peer-reviewed studies or disclose sources for his statements.
Somehow I suspect that whatever comes next, Analogue’s plans for more editions of the Pocket aren’t done yet.

The author makes several statements without explicitly stating a fallacy. However, there are a few instances of inflammatory rhetoric and an appeal to emotion. The author states 'intuitively we'd expect the metal one to be heavier.' This is an example of an appeal to ignorance fallacy as the weight has not been provided in the article. Another instance of inflammatory rhetoric is 'the cheap practicality of plastic.' However, no fallacies directly related to the author's assertions have been found. Therefore, the score is 95.

Deception
(80%)
The author makes several statements that could be considered deceptive or manipulative. First, he uses the phrase 'it looks pretty dang cool' to elicit an emotional response from readers. Second, he states 'It also costs $500, which is almost $300 more than the non-aluminum Analogue Pocket.' This statement implies that the aluminum exterior justifies the significant price increase, but it does not mention that the interior of the console remains unchanged. Third, he quotes Analogue's promise to create a sense of scarcity and exclusivity around these limited edition consoles by stating 'They will be available in highly limited quantities.' This statement could lead readers to believe that they need to act quickly to secure one before they miss out, even though the author does mention that past editions have sold out quickly. However, overall the article does provide some factual information and discloses sources.
It looks pretty dang cool.
They will be available in highly limited quantities.
Fallacies
(95%)
The author makes a comparison between the aluminum Analogue Pocket and other metal consoles from rival companies. However, the author's statement 'You get what you pay for, I guess.' is an informal fallacy known as an appeal to ignorance or a non-sequitur. The author does not provide any evidence that the other metal consoles do not look as cool as the aluminum Analogue Pocket or that they are inferior in any way.
