What do people buy it for?

  • the screen is amazing and unique.
  • the filters in combination with the screen creates an incredibly authentic but also high quality and artifactless experience
  • the dock allows for a switch experience of playing on the go and also on a tv with a controller
  • the open fpga platform allows you to play games from dozens of consoles and handheld and even more arcade pcbs

Also, plays GBA games, not just GB/C.

And many other systems and arcade games (SNES, NES, Genesis, GameGear, Super Gameboy, Simpsons arcade game, galaga, etc...)

The GP already mentioned OpenFPGA.

The Pocket plays GB/C/A cartridges natively. And Game Gear, and soon Neo Geo Pocket and others.
