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. There are so many handheld emulation devices on the market right now, some of which are fairly powerful and able to play games up to the best PS2 games and others having unique form factors which make them appealing simply for having a interesting design. The overall design is obviously very reminiscent of the Nintendo Game Boy but with some welcome modern refinements. The smooth, rounded corners feel great in the palms of your hands and allow for comfortable playing sessions. Furthermore, the D-pad is very responsive and the face buttons are also excellent with a springy tactile feel that is absolutely perfect for button mashing.

Each console comes in a different color scheme inspired by the logos of their respective studios. HyperMegaTech says they've both got simple, straightforward user interfaces, and that they both also come with an Easy Mode, as well as save states, so that you can get past some of their games' tougher levels. Arcade games could be pretty brutal, after all!

Ideal for gamers aged 12 and above, this handheld console offers a high-quality 2.8" IPS TFT screen that delivers stunning visuals and enhances your gaming experience. Its rechargeable battery guarantees long-lasting entertainment, while the optional easy mode provides a helping hand by making all games easier. So, you’ll really have to think about what you’re wanting from a device like this and weigh up the positives and negatives yourself.As far as any extra features go, things are kept fairly minimal. You can access basic emulation options from a menu with things like save states and rudimentary display options like adding scan lines or swapping to pixel perfect or stretched video modes. Obviously, none of these games would be particularly demanding so it’s probably not pushing the hardware very much at all, but I’m still happy to see everything working smoothly and I’ve got no complaints in this area.

Webster, Andrew. "This cute retro handheld comes in Capcom and Taito flavors". The Verge . Retrieved 3 November 2023. 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. 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. 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. A neat feature for the preloaded Taito and Capcom games is difficulty settings. You can either play as originally intended, or you can turn on easy mode for a friendlier experience. This is particularly nice for those who want to introduce youngsters to the games they loved as kids. After all, many games from that era are unforgiving.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. 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!

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. HyperMegaTech, like all Blaze Entertainment products, features officially licensed retro games direct from the publishers.

Your mileage with the 2.8” (~7cm) screen is also likely to vary dramatically depending on the quality of your eyesight - especially if you want to experience titles at their intended aspect ratio with the Pixel Perfect display mode. If this is applicable to you, you would be much better off considering larger options like the Evercade EXP instead. Over Capcom way, you get 1942, 1943, 1944: The Loop Master, Bionic Commando, Captain Commando, Final Fight, Forgotten Worlds, Ghouls ’n Ghosts, Mega Man, Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, Strider, and Wolf of the Battlefield: MERCS. In other words, the same games as on the Evercade EXP.
