Tetris would be the perfect collab for this line of Evercades: a Super Pocket with several built in versions of Tetris... huge market tor that, even with the lamentable "one player only" constraint.
@@darrenchapman8917 did you have any of the carts before hand? I was just wondering if people already had some of the original carts if they'd still be enticed. I would really love the wood atari one. It's so nice, and you can never have too much Asteroids in my opinion
@@aboyandhisdogRE yeah I hav them all plus the two other pockets, the og, vs, exp and got all upcoming stuff on preorder, I think it great what blaze do and it don’t break the bank. Keep up with the great vids 👍
@@STR82DVD that's alright grandpa, only joking 😉 I'm definitely interested in trying out the newer added titles. I did have the 50th Anniversary on my playstation so they are probably all on there but to be honest after initially going through it all I haven't booted it up since and forget what was on there. Rather play retro games on the Evercade.
@@aboyandhisdogRE LOL. You had it right the first time lad; I'm old. I saw the entire retro revolution from 1st Gen / 2nd Gen all the way through as a fully formed adult with my first system being an Atari 2600, etc. It's been a ride kid.
This is becoming a worrying trend. First it was, if you want the Capcom Collection you'll need to buy an EXP. Then the first two Super Pockets came out, locking Capcom & Taito games to hardware. Last month there was the Alphas and if you want to play SF Alpha or the Mega Man arcade games you'll need to buy both. Now we have two more Super Pockets essentially replacing Legacy Evercade Carts. This isn't really the eco system I initially signed up for when I first picked up an OG Handheld Evercade. I'm a simple man and all I want is for the games to be available on carts for around the £20 mark. I'm happy for people who are excited for these two new Super Pockets and the Special Atari Edition one but it's all getting a bit cash grabby for my liking. Sorry for being a bit down on this but the more I think about it, the more I don't like the direction Blaze/HyperMega Tech are heading. If I wanted to keep buying different hardware for different games, I'd be filling my house with Arcade 1UP cabinets ;-) Keep up the awesome work Steve!
@@jayme69 Jamie I always love to hear your thoughts, you are no debby downer 😉 I totally see where you are coming from. I have always taken it that the super pockets are just for games they can't licence on a cart so it's the only way to get it to us. Its a bit different this time as they are legacy carts but I guess the same rules apply. This is alot to do with these annoying companies just not liking their games on carts or if they do they can only be handheld which makes me laugh thet the Namco work on the arcade cabinet cos that's more or less a console with a built in monitor. But what ya gonna do. But it is frustrating. I do love the game boy aesthetics of the super pocket mind so I am a bit weak for the design. I would say I the atari defence that all the games included would come to the same price of about 3 or 4 carts so the price isn't any different if you got the carts separate. I don't have much defence for the Technos one though, but I know some love double dragon. I am not one of those people 🤣 as long as we still get carts I'll be happy. If all the companies decide they don't want their games on cart then we are screwed 🤣 I don't want 50 super pockets and I'd rather play on my big telly anyway. It's better for our old eyes init. But you do make very valid points. Please never stop my good friend 😁
I think it’s funny Blaze rejected Double Dragon 1 arcade on the arcade cart because the game has so much slowdown, but it’s good enough for a Super Pocket! 😄 I’m a dedicated tv-gamer, so these handhelds just aren’t for me. But yeah, the wood panel finish on the limited one is a very cute touch indeed!
@@bjornh1527 yes I do remember saying that about double dragon 1, how funny. I am a giant TV screen player too, and my eyes prefer it haha. But don't mind a bit of handheld fun.
@@aboyandhisdogRE I'm into the FPGA scene and full on Chinese retro handhelds for emulation on the go. BTW, I'm 4k Cloud gaming with my Shield Pro with an absolutely absurdly large monitor two feet away for immersion purposes plus I've bloody old eyes! 😄👍 Again, a great time to live kid.
The Atari handheld offers excellent value for money, and I say this as someone who has made a video titled "everything wrong with" Evercade's Super Pocket. And there's a lot wrong with it.
@@VEGANVANIA the atari handheld is defo good if you just want atari games. Atari doesn't rate as high for me, so I'd need the machine to do something else. With the pocket I've got all my other carts as well. So for me I'd defo pick the super pocket over some atari only device. And I'm aware of it's goods and bads from the Capcom and taito editions - or the puzzle bubble and ghouls of ghosts machines as that's all I play from the selected games 🤣 but yeah I totally get ya, if it was just atari you were after, it would be the best option. Though that wood finish is fire 🔥 😉
I know a British guy 20 years older than myself: for him, the arcade version of Asteroids alone would be worth it. I'd buy it for him as a gift, frankly, if we were closer friends.
@@VEGANVANIA I do adore a bit of Asteroids, I weirdly like the 2600 version the best, but I think it's just as it was the one I grew up with, and I love the vibrant colours 😁
Tetris would be the perfect collab for this line of Evercades: a Super Pocket with several built in versions of Tetris... huge market tor that, even with the lamentable "one player only" constraint.
@@VEGANVANIA can't argue with that. Though I'd love a cart to he honest. But tetris is definitely the perfect fit for super pocket.
Certainly a different direction than I expected, but I think it's a good idea with the prices some of the legacy carts are going for.
@@genejoke8538 it's definitely a cheaper alternative. The atari one covers like 3 or 4 carts on its own so that is definitely worth the asking price.
That woodgrain Atari looks incredible.
@@jamisonballard3590 hey Jamison, yeah it's making me drool somewhat. I would really like to grab one.
I be getting them both, can’t wait for more surprises from the blaze team.

I totally thought they’d have a namco one this year.
@@AbeM. Honestly I have been expecting one at some point too.
Save Mary is an Atari prototype which never got released back in the day. It's a fun game.

@@STR82DVD for people coming in now there is definitely enough variety in entry points depending on how they prefer to play.
