I've been dreading potential Super Pocket price increases for a while, and AI component demand finally made it happen. While the cartridge-based retro handheld's creators, Blaze, say they "absorbed rising costs across manufacturing, components, and freight for as long as possible," the portable and its carts will become more expensive in the UK and Europe.
In an Evercade cartridge and Super Pocket annoucement, Blaze CEO Andrew Byatt breaks the news by saying, "I wanted to speak directly to our customers," regarding pricing changes for both regions. Byatt clarifies, "This is not a planned price rise, and it is not a decision we have taken lightly," but confirms that absorbing cost increases is "no longer feasible."
