Each Super Pocket has. four face buttons, a D-pad, and four back buttons that act as the triggers and shoulder buttons. They are actually pocketable at less than 5 inches tall and under an inch thick.

Blaze has been busy this year with Evercade hardware and cartridges. In August, Blaze released the Evercade VS-R, a refresh of its original Evercade home console with a lower price ($100). On November 29, Blaze will launch the Evercade EXP-R, which replaces the EXP as Evercade's flagship gaming handheld. Both the EXP-R and VS-R come bundled with the recently released Tomb Raider Collection, a cartridge containing the first three Lara Croft games. The Tomb Raider Collection was the first Evercade cart featuring original PlayStation games, but it quickly had company with the arrival of Legacy of Kain Collection in September.
