I’m a complete sucker for the Super Pocket and what the handheld offers for under $60. Running all the best retro consoles on something vaguely shaped like a Game Boy isn’t remotely unique, but the portable does platform physical gaming in a way that puts even the Switch 2 to shame.
Of course, if Blaze only released one Super Pocket, it’d be easier to forget about a gaming handheld. However, the long-standing Evercade creators have continually released different licensed flavors of the console since 2023, and I’m hyped to see the company finally pay homage to Data East and Neo Geo.
Set to release July 10, I’ve been getting some time in with the Super Pocket Data-East and Neo-Geo editions early. The TLDR is that I’ve been enjoying exploring each system’s time capsule of classics so much that I forgot my newly acquired Switch 2 exists, but there’s more to this story than me getting distracted by Fatal Fury and Burger Time.
