Emulators can’t always play every game. I know Pokémon Snap has always struggled to run.
This is identical to real hardware and upscales everything to 4K. Not to mention native support for Bluetooth controllers and other creature comforts.

Getting an N64 + a RetroTink to upscale costs the same or more than this Analogue product (depends a lot on the N64 and RetroTink you buy). This is actually a fairly good value. I’m shocked Analogue priced it where it is considering that the Pocket is FOMO-sold and pricey.
Yeah, I was fully expecting this thing to be like $400.
The real question is if you’ll be able to purchase one of the 17 they’ve produced or if you’ll have to wait for their limited edition translucent version in a year.
Omg I would love translucent
