    I completely agree with you. When I got a GBA in my hand as a kid I realized this was how handhelds were meant to be used. Verticalgays exist solely on nostalgia.

    That being said there exists an argument for clambshell design.

      Clamshells are kino and having the size for pocketability is genius.

        Clamshells are vertical handhelds still, idiot. Except for the DS and 3DS, they're both vertical and horizontal due to the two screens.

        Phones are used for entirely different things than gaming handhelds you dumb frick, not to memtion anyone with a brain turns their phone sideways for any game worth a damn and especially when using emulators. It really doesn't get more apples and oragnges than your pathetic excuse for an argument.

          Which is pretty fricking fitting when you're the absolute moron using his phone horizontally to play videogames. GBA and DS games work OBJECTIVELY better in portrait - not that you should even be emulating when there's plenty of natively portrait mobile masterpieces to enjoy. Stop being a fricking contrarian and except vertical is the superior choice shitlord.

        No, it really isn't. The issue was it was in limited supply and ran out with the GameCube/GBA. The og DS and the Wii are the first consoles to not use Nintendium anymore.

    Yeah, that's my only issue with the Analogue pocket personally.

    No idea why they thought hardware emulation of what was first and foremost a GBA made any sense to be GB shaped.

    They slide right in your pocket which makes it portable.
    When a handheld is horizontal, they're too wide to fit in your pocket.

      You can just as easily fit a horizontal into your pocket unless you're as moronic as you two and try putting it in horizontally.

      The GBA is smaller in two dimension than the original GB anon. Right here is clearly more pocketable than the left and this is basically GB versus GBA dimensions.

      You are essentially claiming you are so moronic you're trying to fit the vertical one in horizontally despite clearly no one doing that.

          Gee, I wonder?

          Also, here, moron, have a more exact comparison. Exact measurements in mm for them blow up by a factor of 4 rather than from memory like I previously did since mine are all put away for Analogue pockets now.

            So your asperger's riddled issue is that...
            Someone made a general statement and you used two specific examples to prove a that a generalization isn't 100% always true.
            So someone countered your specific example with two specific counter examples and you shit your adult diapers.

                There is only one way to grip the DS, moron. You hold it open like a book in one hand when playing it sideways, you don't grip it. It being a wider GBA SP doesn't magically transform it into being a horizontal handheld, unless you play GBA games on the bottom screen like a fricking moron. Or worse, broke the top half of your DS off entirely to make it into a shitty GBA.
