I consider the Super Pocket to be one of the best handheld games consoles available today and it successfully holds its own against titans like the Nintendo Switch 2 or Steam Deck OLED.

In my Super Pocket review, I called it "an incredible value retro handheld" and gave it a perfect score. The design is great and feels good in the hands, and everything runs incredibly smoothly for the price.

The Evercade cartridge compatibility makes it an even better deal too, as it gives you an easy and affordable way to get more games if you want to give the in-built library a boost.

You don't have to just take my word for it either, as Amazon shoppers are also in love with the device. One five star review describes it as "a must buy for old school gamers" given the fantastic performance and low price.

Another shopper remarked that although they were "skeptical" given the low cost, everything "runs great" and gave the product five out of five stars.
