Blaze Entertainment, the company behind the Evercade, announced a line of Super Pocket handheld systems that come with games built-in and can use Evercade cartridges. Each one resembles a Game Boy in terms of shape. At launch, there will be Capcom and Taito editions. These will cost $59/£49/€59 each, and people will see them at Amazon, Argos, Best Buy, Funstock, Game, and Video Games Plus. They are expected to ship out in October 2023.
Both versions of the device have 2.8” IPS screens, built-in UIs, and charge via an included USB-C cable. Each one allows you to create save states as you play. There is also an “Easy Mode” options for the titles built into each one. The Capcom one has 12 games, while the Taito one includes 17.
