If you’re itching to pick up a Game Boy-style handheld but can’t be bothered faffing with ROMs, the Super Pocket might be up your street. Developed by the same folks behind the Evercade, this adorable newcomer to the portable scene comes in Capcom and Taito flavors, with each boasting a bunch of built-in games. Not to mention you’ll be able to play over 500 more using the traditional cartridge slot at the back.
There are plenty of handhelds out there on the market, including cheap and cheerful Game Boy clones and powerful portable gaming PCs like the Steam Deck. Every device offers something different depending on your on-the-go preferences, but the retro side of things tends to rely on legally sourcing your own ROM files so you can actually play games. Thankfully, Blaze Entertainment values the importance of simplicity, and both its shiny new handheld and sister company understand the nostalgic assignment.
