Blaze Launches Activision-Branded Super Pocket With 34 Built‑In 1980s Games

The device pairs 34 licensed Activision-era titles with an Evercade cartridge slot to give buyers access to a much larger library of licensed games.

Overview

  • Blaze announced the HyperMegaTech! Super Pocket Activision Edition with pre-orders open and a confirmed release date of September 28, 2026 at a price of £59.99 / $69.99.
  • The handheld ships with 34 officially licensed 1980s games, including Pitfall!, Pitfall II, River Raid, River Raid II, Keystone Kapers and several Imagic titles such as Demon Attack.
  • The Activision Edition uses the standard Super Pocket hardware: a 2.8‑inch IPS screen, circular D‑pad, four face buttons, USB‑C charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack and roughly four hours of battery life.
  • A built‑in Evercade cartridge slot lets the unit play Evercade cartridges and connect to the platform’s several-hundred‑title catalog, which retailers and press list at different totals but is described as growing well beyond the preloaded 34 games.
  • The release continues Blaze’s HyperMegaTech! series that began in 2023 and is aimed at collectors who want licensed, physical retro collections while providing a lower‑cost entry point ahead of higher‑spec Evercade hardware such as the upcoming Nexus.
