Evercade Compatibility and More
Although each device has a different selection of pre-installed games, both will be fully compatible with the existing Evercade library of cartridges. Evercade devices find their usability in pitting themselves in the middle of using emulation for the preinstalled games while relying on either re-released or exclusive game cartridges for their consoles. Similar to the Analogue Pocket’s Dock, there is also the Evercade VS-R should anyone decide to play cartridges on the TV. Â The VS-R is only compatible with cartridges and features no usability in plugging the device into it to output to the TV like the Dock would, but the usability remains the same.
The Evercade line of devices has cemented itself as a brand focused on restoring nostalgic sensibilities through the use of cartridges from days of yore but has also firmly accepted the reality that digital emulation of games may be a better option for most gamers of the modern era. Here, with the Atari and Technos Editions of the Super Pocket, the same remains true.
Similar to the CAPCOM and Taitos versions of the Super Pocket, both devices will cost $59 USD. The limited, Special Edition woodgrain version of the Super Pocket Atari Edition will cost $74.
