The Super Pocket Scratches a Mobile Game Itch Phones Cannot

Рет қаралды 161,017

Check out our Super Pocket preview! There's never been a better time for gaming on the go, but the choices can be overwhelming and, a lot of the time, quite pricey - if you’re already going to buy an iPhone 15 Pro, great! Enjoy Resident Evil 4 Remake. But no one would pay a grand to do it otherwise. The Super Pocket is at the other end of the scale. It’s a no-fuss retro handheld that’s stylish and, more importantly, the basic edition costs less than a newly-released game. Watch our Super Pocket hands-on impressions for a detailed look at what this gaming handheld offers.
The Super Pocket release date is October 26, 2023 and it's priced at $59.95/£49.99 for the Capcom, and TAITO versions, and £119.99 exclusively in the UK for the Super Pocket Limited Edition Bundle.

The death of the 3DS and PS Vita was the saddest thing for those who just wanted button gaming on the go. Mobile is clearly terrible for tactile feedback gaming and drains your battery for important communication and work purposes. Modern solutions like the Steam deck and PC equivalents are never going to be fully suitable for portability designed around home PC gaming. Even the Switch is bulky and expensive to risk using on the go with tiny physical cartridges. Love seeing these devices that harken back to the gloriously portable yet affordable days of the GameBoy.

@jasonschwartz7781 9 ай бұрын

@@sonang7721 What exactly makes them cheaper than this? At least from this video, it look like it's of lower build quality than something like the Miyoo Mini, and both my RG351P and my Retroid Pocket Flip are clearly better built and can play every retro game I've ever owned (including DOS games). Most of those "cheap" handhelds have community developed operating systems with every setting needed to get games from every era running great, community creaated how-to guides for every little tweak and websites and Discord servers for the devoted emulation community to share ideas and experiences. How is it better for collectors to get ripped off by a sub par device that gives them a handful of crappy games instead of their entire collection and a community to share it in?
