I recently sold my Technos Collection 1 Cart as I've found that I prefer playing these games on my Switch. Most of the 8bit games are on the Double Dragon & Kunio-kun Retro Brawler Bundle and the arcade games can be picked up on Arcade Archives. A lot of the games on the 8bit collection have a "Quality Up" feature that reduces the NES's flicker and improves gameplay. You can usually pick it up on sale for around the same price as a standard Evercade Cart and the beauty is that you can play in handheld and docked being a Switch game. The Arcade Archives games also work in TATE Mode which is a real bonus :-) Obviously I won't be picking this Super Pocket up but it's definitely great for those new to Evercade and maybe those who missed out on the first Technos Cart. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks for making this video Burger. I have the Taito, Capcom (and Atari pre-ordered) but I’m not a beat ‘em up fan so I’ll skip this Technos Super Pocket. The color palate on the device is really nice looking, so I give Hyper Mega Tech props for that.

I like my Taito and Capcom Super Pockets, but I don't have much interest in these. The Atari 50th Anniversary Collection is a much better collection of Atari titles than what is offered on the Evercade, and I already have the Technos collections on cartridge, to be able to play on my current super pockets and VS. I do hope that people enjoy these and buy plenty of them, because I like what Blaze and Hyper Mega Tech are doing here, and I'd definitely like to see them put out more of these cool little handhelds.

Love your videos as always CB but I have zero interest in the Super Pockets. I find the EXP screen barely big enough to play on so there's no chance of me getting along with the Super Pockets. As for this one there's nothing here that grabs me. I don't play either of my Technos carts and I really don't get the appeal of Double Dragon. Compared to other well known scrolling beat em ups, I always felt the DD games were very sluggish to play, especially DD3. The best here is probably Combatribes, which I already have on the Technos arcade collection. This is a no-buy for me. Great video as always though!

It is a cheaper alternative to Analogue Pocket, which also happens to be constantly sold out or boycotting some countries entirely (Analogue ships to Germany and Poland, but not Czechia. WHY?). It is also a low-threshold introduction into the Evercade ecosystem, where new carts are available as opposed to the necessity of hunting down the expensive originals to play on Analogue Pocket. From a technical perspective, this is a also completely different philosophy - Analogue goes the way of hardware emulation, while Blaze is usually very good with its software emulation approach.

@@CZpersi The Analogue Pocket lets you play any handheld or retro console games using different cores. It also lets you play ROMs using an SD card, so you don’t need to hunt for real cartridges, though it’s an option. Considering the prices of Evercade cartridges (which are very limited), using the Analogue Pocket is cheaper and better in many ways - size, screen, comfort, etc. I see Evercade more as a gimmick for collecting cartridges and consoles rather than a real way to play games. Considering the poor quality and lack of service in many countries (they don’t have service in all the countries you mentioned), and the fact that you can’t update the firmware without a Windows machine, I’m not sure the hype will last. I bought all of their products just to resell them to Evercade fans for triple the price :)

@1invag My region is EU. Once you are inside the EU, it does not really matter, whether you are shipping to France, Germany, Poland, Czechia or Romania. There are no additional customs fees or requirements. Their partner from Germany could easily ship to Czechia without any additional hurdles. Anyone can do it, so why not Analogue?

Evercade carts can be bought in many local stores around here.

You've got to remember the context that Double Dragon hit the arcades in 1987, a couple of years before Final Fight and Streets of Rage didn't appear on consoles until 1991. Double Dragon resonates with a lot of old school gamers like myself because it was the first game that allowed you to literally "kick someone's head in" and laugh while you were beating up your mate in two player co-op and all for the admission price of a shiny 50p piece (or 3 credits for a pound) ;-)
