Essentially budget-friendly Evercades, these compact handhelds feature 2.8-inch IPS displays, work with existing Evercade cartridges, and boast a clean user interface that lets you quickly dive into your favorite games. Support for Evercade cartridges is a big part of the Super Pocket's appeal, as it gives you access to a library of over 500 games across 50 cartridges, including remastered versions of classic Duke Nukem games, the first three Tomb Raider games, arcade and home computer classics, and modern retro games like the lovely 2023 Game Boy Advance platformer Goodboy Galaxy. Each Super Pocket has. four face buttons, a D-pad, and four back buttons that act as the triggers and shoulder buttons. They are actually pocketable at less than 5 inches tall and under an inch thick. They'll join the Super Pocket Capcom and Super Pocket Taito, which arrived in 2023 and earned high marks in our review. Continue Reading at GameSpot
