Handheld Cartridge-Style Consoles

The 'Super Pocket' is a Portable Game Console with Themed Skins

— July 12, 2023 — Tech
HyperMegaTech, the mind behind the Evercade retro hardware line, has released a new game console called the 'Super Pocket.' The 'Super Pocket' will be available in two distinct variations upon its initial release. The Capcom version boasts 12 pre-loaded games, including iconic titles like Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, Final Fight, 1942, and Mega Man. On the other hand, the Taito version offers 17 games featuring beloved classics such as Space Invaders, Elevator Action, and Bubble Bobble.

In addition to the pre-loaded games, both iterations of the Super Pocket feature a cartridge slot that supports titles compatible with the Evercade handheld and home console. This enables gamers to expand their library and delve into a vast assortment of titles spanning a wide range of gaming eras.

The 'Super Pocket' launches in October 2023, but preorders will open on July 14.
