But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices.

Titles include Miner 2049'er, Yars Revenge, Crystal Castles, Tempest, Food Fight and many more. Although, every time one of these collections pops up, I'm sobbing inside at the lack of Activision games, someone really needs to sort this out! 

 There's also a regular Atari model, in black and red, plus a Technos collection going heavy on the beat 'em ups featuring the Double Dragon games,  River City Ransom, Renegade, Crash 'N the Boys among other brawlers

Super Pocket retro

These arrivals will soon make it four Super Pockets, all eminently collectable, alongside the original Taito and Capcom models still available and providing entry to the full Evercade cart range through the cart slot on the rear. 

Pre-orders start at the end of July for the regular models, with the Limited Atari Edition up for grabs now. Everything ships in October.
