Super Pocket puts Capcom classics in the palm of your hand

I don't need any elaborate excuse to buy cool handhelds these days. In a post-Vita world (Vita means 'Life') it feels like portable gaming is as prevalent as ever. Developer Hyper Mega Tech is looking to throw its own hat into the ring with the Super Pocket Capcom and Taito handheld editions. Coming from the folks that brought the Evercade system to life, these nearly 3 inch IPS screens pack a ton of gaming punch.

And by that, I mean Street Fighter II. Of course.

The Super Pocket looks to be a smaller, Gameboy-esque offshoot of HMT's Evercade EXP--Which actually does look like the Vita. If you're looking for retro, legal gaming then you could certainly do far worse than these cute, form fitting pocket devices.

Set for release in October 2023, the Super Pocket handheld comes in both Capcom and Taito theming. Here's the technical specs that both devices share.

The primary difference between the two besides color is the included--and legal--games. Here's the list of titles for the Capcom version.

As for the Taito version of the Super Pocket, the games list looks a bit different.

And if that isn't enough games then know this: Both are compatible with the Evercade's line of game expansion cartridges. These cards include games from the Amiga, Commodore 64, Atari, and more.

Preorders for the Super Pocket Capcom and Taito editions begins on July 14 for a price tag of $59.00 USD. Is it worth the price of admission? Check back in around October and find out.
