The Super Pocket retro handheld is cheaper than a Switch 2 game, but you'll want to grab one before that potentially changes

I've played around with more retro handhelds than I've had hot dinners at this point, and the Super Pocket lives in my head rent free. It's a tiny system that comes with built-in games, runs Evercade cartridges, and even costs less than a Switch 2 launch game. However, retailers are already starting to halt Blaze console orders to the US, and I suspect the company's cheapest device could end up more expensive afer current supplies dry up.

At Amazon, you can still grab the Super Pocket for $59.99, and the newer Technos flavor is actually going for $56.39. That's remarkably cheap for a best gaming handheld contender that has access to over 500 Evercade games, and the fact that you'll be paying more than that for a copy of Mario Kart World with your Switch 2 pre-order really puts the value into context.
