Evercade Reveals Two New Carts and Rare Super Pocket Including Banjo-Kazooie

Blaze Entertainment’s Evercade announced a Rare-branded Super Pocket handheld that ships with 14 built‑in Rare titles and will play Evercade cartridges. The Super Pocket Rare Edition is priced at £49.99 / $69.99 / €59.99, is slated for June 2026, and pre-orders were spotted on Amazon and Funstock the day the press releases went live.

The 14 preloaded games are listed as Banjo‑Kazooie (64‑bit console), Conker’s Pocket Tales (8‑bit handheld console), Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (16‑bit console), Battletoads (8‑bit console), Cobra Triangle (8‑bit console), R.C. Pro‑AM II (8‑bit console), Slalom (8‑bit console), Snake Rattle ‘n’ Roll (8‑bit console), Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship (8‑bit console), Atic Atac (home computer), Jetpac (home computer), Lunar Jetman (home computer), Knight Lore (home computer) and Gunfright (home computer).

Evercade’s press text, as reproduced in coverage, highlights the handheld and its line-up: “Introducing the Super Pocket Rare Edition, a brand-new handheld device celebrating some of the fantastic games from the British publisher. This officially licensed compact gaming system comes preloaded with 14 classic Rare titles, including a the 64-bit classic Banjo-Kazooie, optimised for Super Pocket, and great franchises such as Battletoads! Available in June 2026 for only £49.99, €59.99 or $69.99, pre-orders are now open!”

Banjo‑Kazooie’s appearance is the headline grab — the title is described specifically as “optimised for Super Pocket” and outlets note an optimised version for the handheld’s D‑pad. Coverage and commentary point to a practical question for players: how a 64‑bit platformer will handle on a D‑pad. Games Asylum flagged that control concerns are commentary rather than confirmation, writing, “How well B‑Z will control with a d‑pad remains to be seen. Similarly to the Evercade’s version of Glover, we imagine.”

Alongside the Rare Super Pocket, Evercade announced two new cartridges. Activision Collection 2 is billed as a 15‑game Atari VCS/2600 compilation; the titles explicitly shown in coverage include Pitfall II: Lost Caverns, River Raid II, H.E.R.O., Boxing, Checkers, Cosmic Commuter, Dragster, Moonsweeper, Oink!, Plaque Attack, Robot Tank, Seaquest, Skiing, Spider Fighter and Stampede. Games Asylum reports the Activision cartridge is “due in April,” a date present in the reporting but not confirmed in the Evercade press excerpt provided here.

Mega Cat Studios Collection 3 is a ten‑title modern retro cartridge priced at £19.99 and reported as due in June, with pre-orders listed on Amazon. The full ten‑game list and per‑game descriptions were referenced in the announcement but were not present in the excerpts available for this report.

The Rare Super Pocket is being released under Evercade’s HyperMegaTech sub‑brand; Evercade’s press archive shows prior HyperMegaTech Super Pocket editions for other licensors. Pre-orders for the Rare device appeared on Amazon and Funstock at the time of the February 27, 2026 announcements, and Evercade’s press releases that day carried the official product listings and pricing. Expect more precise ship dates and the complete Activision and Mega Cat game lists to be confirmed by Evercade as product pages and retailer listings are updated ahead of the April and June windows.
