FPGB Mini: Pocket-Sized Game Boy Clone Outperforms Analogue Pocket on Price

FunnyPlaying, a Chinese maker known for its Game Boy and GBA upgrade kits, has unveiled the FPGB Mini, a pocket‑sized handheld that plays original Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges as well as ROMs. The device’s compact form factor—only slightly wider than a standard Game Boy cartridge—makes it highly portable, and its price has been slashed from $89.99 to $69.00. In contrast, the Analogue Pocket, which supports the same Game Boy line plus GBA and Sega Game Gear titles, is now listed at $239.99.

While the FPGB Mini offers a limited cartridge library, its affordability and ultra‑compact design give it an edge for casual collectors and on‑the‑go gamers. The Analogue Pocket’s broader compatibility and higher price point position it as a more feature‑rich option, but the FPGB Mini remains an attractive alternative for those prioritizing portability and budget. The Verge reports that the FPGB Mini’s launch could reshape the market for retro handhelds, especially as price sensitivity grows among enthusiasts.
