Review: The Data East And NEOGEO Evercade Super Pockets Are Fantastic
Next week on July 10th, HyperMegaTech! is launching their latest duo of Evercade-compatible Super Pocket devices in the form of the officially licensed NEOGEO and Data East variants for $69 each. HyperMegaTech! sent me both devices, along with a few Evercade multi-game cartridges, to test out over the last few days and I must say I'm coming away extremely impressed.
Forget emulators; this feels like the proper way to enjoy retro games.
Previously, the Super Pocket line from HyperMegaTech! included Taito and Capcom variants and has since expanded to also include Atari and Technos as well. Now, these two latest NEOGEO and Data East versions work the same way in that each handheld comes pre-loaded with a selection of games from the branded publisher, but the device also supports all Evercade cartridges as well. Given the price, build quality, game selection, and growing library of additional games, the value is off-the-charts for anyone like me who adores retro video games and game preservation.
NEOGEO and Data East Super Pocket handhelds
The Super Pocket Handheld
Matt Gardner's original review here on Forbes from when the Evercade Super Pocket devices debuted still applies, but I'll offer my own praise all the same. As someone born in 1990, I grew up playing the Game Boy, Game Gear, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance all very heavily. The Super Pocket is very similar in size to the Game Boy Pocket and Game Boy Color s[ecifically, which is an excellent form factor to land on.
In short, this device easily fits in your pocket and if you snag a slim carrying case or something like that off Amazon, you can bring the device, a few favorite carts, and a charging cable along without taking up anywhere near as much space as you would for something like a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch 2.
The vision for the Evercade ecosystem is a return to 'games like they used to be' according to the official website. When you purchase an Evercade cartridge, you're getting not only a physical cart with complete games on it, but it's also packaged in a sturdy box and includes a full-color manual. Plus stickers.

These Super Pocket devices are of course not the only Evercade devices on the planet, they're just the smallest and most affordable. In addition to those, there is also the EXP-R handheld, as well as the VS-R home console, and Alpha bartop arcade units to enjoy the classics on larger screens, including multiplayer.
And for those unaware, the brilliant thing about Evercade cartridges is that each cart will work on all Evercade devices. That's true versatility and game ownership.
I think my two biggest gripes with these devices is that there is no way to connect them together as far as I can tell in any sort of officially capacity, despite most of the games clearly supporting multiplayer in their original format, and also the fact that the game selection screen is lacking information. I'd love for something similar to the way Nintendo handles its classics library in which you can toggle an information window that has screenshots, a game summary paragraph, and even genre classifications.
For someone like me who wasn't familiar with most of the Data East games, it would have been nice to skim over the selection menu and figure out what I wanted to try based on genre and screenshots rather than relying on often misleading 80s and 90s arcade cabinet art.
It didn't seem like any of the games I tried really used the shoulder buttons, thankfully, since they're in extremely awkward spots. It's not easy to find a spot for those that is both ergonomic and doesn't ruin the form factor, but I feel like there must have been a better way. They're probably mostly for other Evercade games such as the Legacy of Kain or Tomb Raider collections.
NEOGEO Super Pocket Handheld

The new NEOGEO Super Pocket from HyperMegaTech! comes pre-installed with 14 games and dare I say not a single one of them isn't worth playing. I was of course very familiar with games like Fatal Fury, Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown, and even Shock Troopers, but had never played the others. Turns out, I'm now a big fan of Mutant Nation and Blazing Star as well.
Here's the full NEOGEO Super Pocket game list:
Plus, since these are mostly arcade games, playing through them isn't much of a problem since pushing the 'Select' button is just like popping in another quarter. Endless continues for everyone!

Admittedly, Data East is not a publisher I know near as well as the likes of NEOGEO, Capcom, or Atari, but after looking through the included library I realized it's a company I was more familiar with than I realized. Bad Dudes and Burgertime alone are truly arcade icons.
I don't think the game selection is as flush with consistent quality as the NEOGEO Super Pocket, but it's still very good and nostalgia will always play a factor for each person specifically. For example, I'd never played the two Dark Seal games but really, really liked the isometric dungeon-crawler beat 'em up style.
Here's the full list of all 18 included games on the Data East Super Pocket:
Recent and upcoming Evercade game releases
New Evercade Game Releases
The majority of Evercade releases have focused on arcade titles and releases from publishers that aren't as active as they once were, but new indie games and classic console games are hitting the library lately as well. Just this month the Gremlin Collection 2 includes four original PlayStation games like Loaded and Hogs of War, not to mention prior collections that included Tomb Raider and more previously.
With over 500 games available now, Evercade is a growing and, somewhat surprisingly if you haven't been paying attention, flourishing platform with new games and multi-game carts planned every month.
In addition to the two Super Pocket handhelds, the company also sent me three cartridges including Windjammers, Karnov, & Friends which just released this month with five total games: Windjammers, Karnov, Atomic Runner Chelnov, Vapor Trail: Hyper Offence Formation, and my personal favorite on the cart, Rohga: Armor Force.
The other two cartridges I got were the Goodboy Galaxy/Witch N' Wiz indie game combo cart and the Toaplan Arcade 4 Collection which includes six games: Dogyuun, which was my favorite of this bunch, Grind Stormer, Knuckle Bash, Snow Bros. 2, Pip and Bibi's, and Sky Shark.
And for what it's worth, I've enjoyed my time with these handhelds so much the last few days I went ahead and bought myself the first Duke Nukem Collection, which includes remasters of the first two Duke Nukem platformers, as well as Duke Nukem 3D. Next up, I'll probably spring for the Metal Dragon/Life on Mars two-game cart from Kai Magazine Software and the first Sunsoft Collection since it includes Journey to Silius, Blaster Master, and Aero the Acro-Bat. I'm really eyeing the two Gremlin Connections as well.
A new game collecting addiction has definitely been awakened.
Super Pocket handhelds and Evercade game cartridges
Final Verdict—New Evercade Super Pockets
Perhaps it's because these are my first-ever Evercade devices I've had the pleasure of using for more than a few minutes at a convention, but I absolutely adore these little pocket-sized wonders. They feel great in my hands, buttons are responsive, build quality is better than you'd expect, and the expansive library of possibilities is intoxicating.
Ultimately though, it's undeniable that you could get 'more' by just buying a handheld emulator device, but those aren't officially licensed products with officially licensed games. The Evercade ecosystem is a way to support the industry directly and play authentic versions of these games, many of which just aren't accessible on home hardware for most gamers.
If you present me with the choice between never-ending decision paralysis via an over-inflated digital collection of games I'll probably never play on a device that's not even optimized to run those games specifically, or, a bespoke handheld experience with the flexibility to be much more, at an affordable price, with officially licensed physical game cartridges, I'm picking the latter every single time.
Disclosure: HyperMegaTech! sent me both the Data East Super Pocket handheld and NEOGEO Super Pocket handheld pre-release, as well as three Evercade game cartridges, to help facilitate this coverage.

11 best video games of 2025 (so far) on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X and PC
We're more than halfway through 2025, and it's already been quite an eventful year for gaming. The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 has grabbed most of the headlines, but across all platforms, including PS5, Xbox Series X and PC gaming, there have been great games to play in almost every genre. From the cinematic highs of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the heavy-metal fun of Doom: The Dark Ages, and the delightful charms of Donkey Kong's latest 3D platforming adventure on the brand new Switch 2, there have been must-play games to suit all tastes. And no year in gaming can ever be labeled underwhelming when you have a new epic from Hideo Kojima to unravel. Here at Tom's Guide, we've spent this week taking stock of the new games released in 2025 to date, and these are the 11 that have stood out the most to us. There are still plenty more contenders on the horizon, but any of these games could make a shout to be called GOTY. Platforms: PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds brilliantly brings the company's beloved franchise into the current console generation. It maintains the core of 2018's Monster Hunter World but cranks up everything fans love, offering a bigger and bolder adventure. It doesn't skimp on depth or features, yet it's super easy for new players to jump in. The story and gameplay of Monster Hunter Wilds revolve around the ever-changing environments and monsters. This makes the game's fantasy world feel incredibly rich and real. While the stunning natural beauty will initially grab you, it's the exciting hunts and deep customization that will keep you and your friends hooked for months (and potentially years). I've already sunk about 180 hours into Monster Hunter Wilds, and I expect that number to continue going up as Capcom continues delivering new monsters and updates. Though the game still needs better optimization on PC, it works great on home consoles like the PS5. Right now, Monster Hunter Wilds is in the running for my personal game of the year. — Tony Polanco Read our full Monster Hunter Wilds review Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest entry in the long-running series, and sees you venture into new terrortiy teeming with fearsome creatures to craft. Sticking closely to the series' well-established formula, it combines thrilling battles with deep crafting and customization. And also boats a highly cinematic main story campaign that can be played in full four-player co-op. Platforms: Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X I've been a huge fan of Hazelight ever since It Takes Two, and Split Fiction takes everything that made that game great — the co-op mechanics, the emotional storytelling, the wild shifts in gameplay — and pushes it even further. This time, you follow Mio and Zoe, two rival authors trapped inside a simulation made from their own wild imaginations. To get out, they have to team up (whether they want to or not) and navigate these unpredictable, ever-changing worlds inspired by their writing. I first played it with my dad. He took Zoe's whimsical fantasy realm while I played Mio's glitchy cyberpunk future. Watching how our actions influenced each other's world in real time was pretty magical. Then I played again with my partner, swapping sides, and suddenly the story felt completely different (in a good way). That dual perspective serves as the heart of the game. Hazelight really knows how to make co-op feel meaningful, and Split Fiction proves they're only getting better. It's bold, weird, emotional, and easily the best game I've played this year. I can't wait to see how they bring this mind-bending story to life in the upcoming film adaptation! — Alix Blackburn Read our full Split Fiction review Split Fiction is a co-op adventure where two writers, Mio and Zoe, get trapped in a chaotic mix of their own stories. One minute, you're dodging cyber ninjas in a sci-fi city, the next, you're riding dragons in a fantasy forest. From the makers of It Takes Two, Split Fiction is all about teamwork, solving puzzles, and navigating wild genre mashups to escape a world of imagination. Platforms: PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X I've played every mainline game in the Assassin's Creed franchise, and while I really enjoyed the RPG-style Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla and Mirage, I always wished Ubisoft would take it back to basics and focus more on stealth. Assassin's Creed: Shadows (kinda) granted that wish by delivering a well-balanced game which allows you to go guns blazing or sneak around quietly with its dual protagonists, and it wasn't long before it became one of my favorite titles in the entire series. As the name suggests, you can use the shadows to your advantage by extinguishing candles and sneaking around in the dark when you play as the assassin Naoe, and that's the bit I've enjoyed the most. Navigating a high-stakes situation, like a castle full of powerful enemies who can one-shot you, feels thrilling and rewarding. Ubisoft has also created a beautiful world. Feudal Japan feels vibrant and the changing seasons mechanic adds a degree of unpredictability to the game. Despite some of its (minor) flaws, I've sunk 100 hours into it and I keep going back for more. — Nikita Achanta Read our full Assassin's Creed: Shadows review The 14th major installment in the AC franchise, Assassin's Creed: Shadows, is set in 16th-century Japan during the late Sengoku period. Players experience the enduring conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order through two protagonists: Naoe, a skilled female shinobi, and Yasuke, an African samurai inspired by a real-life historical figure. Platforms: PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X Nothing puts me off a game quicker than wandering around aimlessly, not knowing what I'm supposed to do next. Open worlds? Not for me, which is why the titles that I love – from Until Dawn to Detroit: Become Human – tend to feel more like interactive movies than they do combat or puzzle-heavy playthroughs. There's something so soothing about awesome vibes and visuals carrying you through a great story and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage fits the bill perfectly. Set to haunting synths and pop-punk guitar chords, its dual timelines play out simultaneously. In 1995, sweet loner Swann strikes up a fast friendship with fellow teens Nora, Autumn, and Kat, and the quartet spends the summer writing music, shooting videos, and… stumbling across a supernatural force they dub The Abyss. In 2022, an apprehensive Swann returns to Vancouver to reunite with her old pals and try to unpack those life-altering few weeks. The way you interact with other characters influences the story, making it easy to connect with them, and the central mystery makes it hard not to play it all in one sitting. It's the perfect combo of cozy – I spent way too much time stroking Swann's cat – and creepy. If you like shows like "Yellowjackets," "Stranger Things," or "The OA," this one's for you. — Amy West Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a narrative-focused adventure game from Life is Strange developers DontNod. Set across two time periods, 1995 and 2002, it seems four high school friends create lifelong bonds and experience an unexplained event that will change their lives forever. Platforms: PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X I've been a longtime fan of turn-based RPGs, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is up there as one of the very best I've played. Boasting unique art direction and beautiful graphics, a complex, engagingly written story, thrilling and dense combat mechanics (and some utterly brilliant music), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a fantastic game from top to bottom. I relished exploring its many nooks and crannies for our Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 review earlier this year, and, even though I'm not usually someone who replays games and I felt like I had had a complete, satisfying experience by the time I rolled credits… I've frequently found myself itching to find the time to go back in and mop up everything the game has to offer. Yes, even the dastardly optional platforming sequences I bounced off first time out. Simply put, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an RPG that I wouldn't be surprised to see cropping up on many 'best games of 2025' lists come the end of the year; it's just that good, and it deserves all the praise it earned earlier this year, and then some. — Martin Shore Read our full Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 review Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG with a focus on cinematic storytelling. Set in a rich fantasy world, you play a team of expeditioners on a quest to defeat a sinister foe known only as The Paintress. With its unique combat system and deep, emotional story about defying fate and fighting for survival, it's one of 2025's very best. Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox Seires X Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is the triumphant return of a classic fighting game series that's been worth the 26-year wait. This isn't just a blast from the past, however, thanks to its super smooth animations, flashy visuals, and deep gameplay. Like its predecessors, this latest Fatal Fury is a true rival to Capcom's Street Fighter. The new REV system gives you many ways to attack and defend, so you can really show off your style and pull off some seriously punishing combos. Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore fighting game enthusiast, the strong single-player and online modes have you covered. If you're looking for something different from Mortal Kombat 1 and Tekken 8, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is the game to try. It's a real treat for fighting game fans, and it's my favorite fighting game of 2025 so far. — Tony Polanco Read our full Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves review Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a fighting game for fighting game fans, thanks to its deep gameplay mechanics and diverse character roster. Offering a slew of single-player and multiplayer modes, this game has something for just about everyone. Platforms: PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X Although Doom was my favorite game of 2016, its successor, Doom Eternal, disappointed me with its repetitive 'rock, paper, scissors' combat. Thankfully, Doom: The Dark Ages corrects the course, offering a more engaging 'stand and fight' combat system and a medieval-inspired arsenal of weapons. Central to your array is the new Shield Saw, which is paramount for blocking and parrying incoming attacks, but can also be hurled to decimate groups of demons. The Doom Slayer can also execute a powerful shield charge, allowing you to lock onto an enemy and launch yourself across the battlefield, effectively closing the gap between you and your targeted demon. As an OG Doom fan, I appreciate id Software's attempts to deliver more world-building in The Dark Ages — taking a more cinematic approach to storytelling than previous titles, the developer expands on series lore while also providing greater variety in gameplay. I particularly loved battling Titan demons in a giant mech suit, though I could've done with fewer Mecha Dragon sections. The absence of long-time composer Mick Gordon is also felt, as the music is rather unmemorable this time around. Minor quibbles aside, Doom: The Dark Ages stands tall as my top game of 2025 so far. — Stephen Lambrechts Read our full Doom: The Dark Ages review Doom: The Dark Ages is another stellar entry in the classic shooter franchise, thanks to its engaging, grounded combat, expansive and varied locales, phenomenal graphics and hours of gameplay. Though it's not revolutionary, it delivers a fast-paced and visceral experience few games can match, and it looks flippin' stunning as well. Platforms: Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X If you liked and enjoyed the original Monster Train, then the sequel is almost a no-brainer. It's a fantastic deck builder that encourages you to break the game. I've played the original near weekly since it launched; it was my Slay the Spire. For those who never played, Monster Train 2 (and its predecessor) is a deck builder where you are fighting your way through hell on a train. You pick a clan like the Banished, who are fallen angels, to fight over three tiers on the train as it rockets through hell. Randomness is the name of the game with decks that can die out after one battle, or one that will fly through the session. The sequel gives you more with new Equipment cards, clans, and monsters to battle. It is rogue-like in that your deck and enemies won't always be the same, but that adds to the challenge and the surprises, especially when you find that combo of cards that blows through levels. — Scott Younker Monster Train 2 is a much celebrated sequel that brings back the roguelike deckbuilding formula that made the original such a hit while adding a host of new clans to control, enemies to battle, and new challenges and modes. There's a reason it's rated "overwhelmingly positive" on Steam. Platforms: PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X I'm a little surprised to be selecting Rematch as my early GOTY pick, considering my first impressions of the new online sports game from Sifu developer Sloclap were not good. But I chalk that up to the game's steep learning curve. Because once I got my head around it, I quickly fell in love. See, Rematch strips away the generous auto-targeting found in the EA Sports FC series and forces you to place each pass and shot with careful precision. This can lead to embarrassing whiffs, but it makes every goal, assist or diving save feel truly earned. Your skills come through experience, not stat upgrades. Taking cues from Rocket League, but minus the RC cars, it's an online soccer game (football for us Brits) that sees you squad up in teams of up to five players, locked in a cage-style arena and battling to be crowned the king of the pitch. It will take you a match (or 12) to get the hang of things, but once the basics start to click, it offers a thrill few sporting games can match. Just be warned, assembling a good squad is vital for success. Far too many random players online seem to think they're Lionel Messi and hog the ball to a quite maddening degree. — Rory Mellon Rematch is a new online soccer game from developer Sloclap. You control a single player in matches of up to 10 players as you compete to score well-worked goals and make dramatic defensive interventions. With colorful visuals, fast-paced gameplay and a high skill ceiling, Rematch will appeal to football fans and newcomers alike. Platforms: PS5 I can only think of two games in my life that have truly moved me to tears, Death Stranding 2 being one of them. It has this captivating aura about it that's hard to explain, beyond just its cinematic and jaw-dropping presentation. I may not be a father in the real world, but Death Stranding 2 makes me feel like one. It's in its characters that Death Stranding 2 finds its true soul. From the charming Rainy to the reserved Tomorrow, these characters not only propel the story forward, but give you (the player) a reason to fight on. It's all thanks to game director Hideo Kojima's unmatched storytelling. Death Stranding 2 is magical, heartfelt, and totally weird all the same. While the first game largely focused on nonconfrontational combat, that's put to the side in favor of some incredible action in its sequel. Each player will find in Death Stranding 2 their own underlying messages and themes. Lessons on fatherhood, forgiveness, loss, and redemption speak volumes in a fictional world that is fraught with loneliness. It's hard to put to words what Death Stranding 2 makes you feel, but it's almost enlightening in a way. — Ryan Epps. Read our full Death Stranding 2 review Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is the much-anticipated sequel to 2019's critically acclaimed original. You again step into the well-worn boots of Sam Porter Bridges, as you trek across a stunning Mexican landscape to reconnect society. Boasting some of the best visuals on PS5 and an emotionally resonant story, alongside plenty of player freedom in how you tackle missions, Death Stranding 2 delivers something pretty special. Platforms: Nintendo Switch 2 I still remember getting Donkey Kong Country in a bundle with my Super Nintendo and while Donkey Kong Bananza didn't come bundled with the Switch 2 at launch, maybe it should have. Like Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong's latest 3D outing shows exactly what the new system is capable of and why it's worth upgrading from the original Switch. The core Donkey Kong gameplay remains in Bananza but with a new destructive twist. You're still running and rolling around, jumping on enemies and slapping the ground but now, you can destroy just about anything that gets in your way. By adding destructible environments to the mix, you really have a lot more freedom and though you're still in enclosed levels, they feel a lot more open-ended. This is especially true when it comes to how you progress through the story and collect the various Banandium Gems scattered throughout each sublayer. This would be a good enough addition on its own, but you also collect various Bananza powers that let you transform between different animals like a zebra or an ostrich. Once you collect several, you can freely switch between them and this adds another layer of strategy to this already ambitious game. Even after finishing my review, I haven't stopped playing as there are still loads of things to collect and environments to destroy, which says a lot about this new take on a 3D Donkey Kong game. — Anthony Spadafora Read our full Donkey Kong Bananza review Donkey Kong Bananza is the Switch 2's first flagship exclusive post-launch, and it allows DK to smash his way through (and down into) the surrounding terrain. He can punch his way through mountains or head underground in search of collectibles. It's hands-down one of the Switch 2's best dates at this stage of its lifecycle.

New 'Resident Evil' Movie Director Will Respect The Lore While Taking Creative Liberties
The Resident Evil film franchise has taken some unique directions over the years while loosely adapting the iconic video game series of the same name. While some of these adaptations are closer to the games than others, Barbarian and Weapons director Zach Cregger has been tapped to do his own take that will respect the lore while also taking creative liberties. Cregger revealed his plans for the new reboot while speaking with SFX Magazine. He first emphasized that he's a big fan of the video games, and that he's 'played them all,' while Resident Evil 4 is one title in particular that he's 'just looped again and again.' 'I am a gigantic Resident Evil game fan. I've played them all. I don't know how many times I've just looped [RE4] again and again. I just love it,' he began. 'I'm definitely not trying to be completely obedient to the lore of the games; I'm trying to tell a story that just feels authentic to the experience you get when you play the games.' He also acknowledged that he might receive backlash for his creative decisions, but ultimately, he hopes to create 'a really good movie.' As such, he hopes that fans will be proud of it in the same way that he will be. 'I don't think I'm breaking any major rules,' Cregger said, 'but I also recognize that no matter what I do, people are going to come for me online. So all I want to do is make a really good movie and tell a story that's compelling. I know I'm going to be proud of it, and hopefully others will be too.' With the divisiveness of Resident Evil movie adaptations, the Weapons director will have to work hard to make sure fans are satisfied, especially if he's planning his own creative liberties. If he manages to respect the franchise's style and lore, however, then perhaps fans will be willing to accept some changes. Resident Evil is scheduled to hit theaters on September 18, 2026. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the highly-anticipated adaptation as we have them. Hopefully the new film will still satisfy fans of the franchise, even if it's not a completely 'obedient' adaptation of the games.
