Seven editions. One pocket-sized handheld. Same price. So how do you pick the right Super Pocket for you? Here’s a breakdown of every edition and who each one is best suited for.
WHAT IS THE SUPER POCKET?
The Super Pocket is a compact handheld developed by HyperMegaTech! — the same company behind the Evercade ecosystem. Each edition comes themed around a classic publisher, with a built-in game library pre-loaded and ready to go.
Every edition shares the same solid hardware: a 2.8″ IPS screen, quad-core 1.2GHz processor, full shoulder buttons, USB-C charging, and up to 4 hours of battery life. At 165g it genuinely fits in your pocket.
Crucially, every edition includes an Evercade cartridge slot — so on top of the built-in games, you get access to 80+ officially licensed Evercade collections and 700+ games. No downloads, no internet, just insert and play.
All editions are priced at £49.99 / €59.99, with the Rare Edition at $69.99 in the US.
TAITO EDITION — 18 GAMES
Best for: Fans of classic Japanese arcade games and bubble-based platformers.
The Taito Edition packs in some genuine arcade legends. Space Invaders and Space Invaders ’91 are here, alongside Bubble Bobble, Puzzle Bobble, The NewZealand Story, Rastan, and Operation Wolf. There’s real variety — action, platformers, shoot-’em-ups, and puzzle games — making this one of the most well-rounded built-in libraries.
If you have fond memories of Taito’s golden age, or you want a handheld with broad arcade appeal, this is an excellent starting point.
CAPCOM EDITION — 12 GAMES
Best for: Action game fans and Street Fighter devotees.
Twelve games, but what a twelve. Street Fighter II’: Hyper Fighting, Final Fight, Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, Mega Man, Strider, Bionic Commando, and the full 194X trilogy — this is a murderers’ row of Capcom classics.
The Capcom Edition has the smallest built-in library of all seven editions, but the quality-per-game ratio is arguably the highest. If you’re a Capcom fan, you already know you want this one.
ATARI EDITION — 50 GAMES
Best for: Retro purists, Atari collectors, and anyone who wants sheer volume.
With 50 built-in games, the Atari Edition is the biggest library of any Super Pocket edition — by a long way. It spans Atari’s arcade hits, the Atari 2600, and the Atari 5200, covering decades of gaming history.
Highlights include Asteroids, Missile Command, Pong, Millipede, Berzerk, Yars’ Revenge, Adventure, Haunted House, and many more. If you want the most content out of the box, this is the one.
TECHNŌS EDITION — 15 GAMES
Best for: Beat-’em-up lovers and Double Dragon fans.
Technōs Japan gave us some of the defining beat-’em-ups of the 8 and 16-bit era. If Double Dragon, Renegade, and Kunio-kun mean anything to you, this edition was made with you in mind.
It’s a more niche pick than some of the others, but for fans of the genre it’s a genuinely exciting collection on a device you can take anywhere.
NEO GEO EDITION — 14 GAMES
Best for: Fighting game fans and SNK enthusiasts.
The Neo Geo Edition brings 14 games from SNK’s legendary Neo Geo hardware to your pocket. Neo Geo games were premium arcade-quality titles — and having them built into a handheld at this price point is genuinely impressive.
Released in July 2025, this is one of the newer editions. If you’re an SNK fan or always wanted a portable Neo Geo experience, this is your edition.
DATA EAST EDITION — 18 GAMES
Best for: Arcade game fans who love cult classics.
Data East had a knack for producing wildly creative and memorable arcade games, many of which don’t get nearly enough recognition today. With 18 built-in games, the Data East Edition is a great way to rediscover — or discover for the first time — some genuinely underrated classics.
If you want something a little different from the usual suspects, this edition rewards the curious.
RARE EDITION — 14 GAMES
Best for: Anyone who grew up with a NES, SNES, or Game Boy in the late ’80s and ’90s.
The Rare Edition is the most anticipated Super Pocket release to date — and arguably the most exciting for a generation of gamers. Rare produced some of the most beloved games of the 8 and 16-bit era, and getting 14 of them built into a Super Pocket is a big deal.
Launching in June 2026, this is the most recently announced edition. It’s priced at $69.99 in the US — a small premium that reflects just how sought-after the Rare back catalogue is.
If the Rare logo gives you a rush of nostalgia, you don’t need us to tell you to buy this one.
