I think the main problem is that it’s just maybe positioned in a slightly difficult place in the market and could have probably done with a more diverse set of pre-installed games to really push it into the spotlight. Onto those built-in titles, then, and several of Capcom’s will resonate with anyone who’s been following videogames since the 1980s. Eleven of the dozen collected here are the arcade versions, with Mega Man coming from the NES.

With the Miyoo Mini, it’s a lovely device but I’d argue at 3.5 inches it’s too small to really game comfortably on.As for the RG3XX from Anbernic, it’s the same size as the Miyoo Mini, so the same problems that plague that system exist on the RG3XX. Which device you prefer is going to be entirely subjective, are you more of a fan of Taito games like Bubble Bobble or do you want to play some Capcom classics like Mega Man? The choice is yours! Cost & Build Quality Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. While we’re on the subject of audio, let’s dig into the speakers. They’re fine. Just fine. For the price, I wasn’t expecting something as vibrant as the ROG Ally, but they do the job. At higher volumes they’re insufferable, and they don’t have a particularly strong range – audio layers sound almost mushed together. But, again, this is a budget handheld we’re talking about. Compared with the RetroMini, these speakers are great for the price point. Controls.

It’s similar to an Xbox 360 D-pad in the way that it’s on a circular base, but unlike with the Xbox 360 it’s not too loose and you won’t accidentally hit other directions when you’re just trying to move to the right. As you would expect with an officially licensed product like this, the quality of the emulation on offer here is as close to perfection as you can get. L2 and R2 are on the outside though and I feel like I instinctively try to use the joint of my finger to press these while keeping the tips of my fingers on L1 and R1 to maintain a good grip on the device, but this just feels a bit awkward to me. I can imagine that if they do more of these in the future, you could get a whole bunch of them and they would look awesome on display. It kinda reminds me of all the different versions of the Game Boy Color. The resolution is only 320 x 240, but because the screen is quite small and these games didn’t have the highest resolutions to begin with, this doesn’t matter at all.

HyperMegaTech, like all Blaze Entertainment products, features officially licensed retro games direct from the publishers. I’m not 100 percent sold on the easy mode option just yet. Street Fighter II, for example, doesn’t have a difficulty menu, and some fights really spike in difficulty, even with easy mode turned on. In-game, the menu option brings up save, load, the specific game’s controls, the display options, reset, and quit. The 2.8in screen is big enough to play without squinting – and it’s bright, with vibrant colours. However, the 320x240px resolution means games that output more pixels in one or more dimensions end up blurry, squished by way of interpolation. Other than that, they’re identical. The inputs are all the same, the screen is the same, and all of the internals are the same too. It’s just the outer shell and the pre-installed games which make them distinct from each other, so it’s not like you’re going to be in a situation where one is outright better than the other.

In addition, both are available in special limited editions with a crystal translucent plastic shell. Ultimately, the handheld is a low-budget, vertical console that can be taken anywhere for classic arcade gaming at a moment’s notice. It’s not for multiplayer, there are no bonus features like Game of the Month, and it’s likely aimed at newcomers to the retro gaming world than seasoned Evercade fans. Although I do actually think the games on offer on both of the devices are pretty good, I do have to question certain inclusions. This is an absolutely amazing way of introducing someone to retro gaming or retro emulation devices. Every element of it from the sleek design and the minimal UI has been crafted so well.
