HyperMegaTech has introduced two new editions of their popular Super Pocket handheld consoles. Following the success of the Capcom and Taito editions, the company expands its lineup with licensed Atari and Technos editions.

EXPANDING THE RETRO GAMING UNIVERSE. These new editions continue HyperMegaTech’s commitment to nostalgia-driven gaming experiences. The Super Pocket Atari Edition boasts a collection of 50 pre-installed games spanning the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, and Lynx systems. Highlights include classics like Adventure, Asteroids, and Yars Revenge, ensuring a comprehensive retro gaming library in a compact form factor.

Conversely, the Super Pocket Technos Edition focuses on beloved titles such as Double Dragon, River City Ransom, and Super Double Dragon, albeit with a more modest selection of 15 pre-installed games. Both editions retain the familiar 2.8-inch IPS display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, ensuring a crisp visual experience that stays true to the original gaming aesthetics.

CONTINUED EVERCADE COMPATIBILITY. Building on their affiliation with the Evercade ecosystem, HyperMegaTech ensures that both new editions are compatible with all existing Evercade cartridges. This interoperability enhances the value proposition for gamers who seek versatility and an expansive gaming library that transcends generational boundaries.

AVAILABILITY AND PRICING. Enthusiasts eager to secure their Super Pocket Atari or Technos Edition can pre-order starting July 31st. Prices are set at £49 in the UK, $59 in the US, and €59 in the Eurozone, making these handhelds accessible to a global audience. However, shipments are not expected until October 2024, as detailed on HyperMegaTech’s official website. HyperMegaTech’s latest offerings cater to the growing demand for portable retro gaming experiences.

With robust features, broad game selections, and continued Evercade compatibility, the Super Pocket Atari and Technos Editions promise to delight both seasoned gamers and newcomers alike.
