We previously reported that Blaze Entertainment and SNK would be partnering to bring Neo Geo games to Blaze’s Evercade ecosystem, and in today’s Evercade Showcase stream , the first fruits of this partnership were finally revealed.
The Neo Geo Collection 1 cartridge will bring six Neo Geo games to Evercade, including Metal Slug, King of Fighters 2000, Shock Troopers, and three more that are yet to be announced. The Evercade Neo Geo Collection 1 cartridge will be released in July 2025, with pre-orders opening tomorrow (April 1st 2025).
The second Neo Geo product announced in today’s Evercade Showcase is the Neo Geo Super Pocket, a handheld console that will be released under Blaze’s HyperMegaTech brand, and which will come with 14 on-board Neo Geo games, including Metal Slug X, Fatal Fury Special, Samurai Shodown II, and more. As well as coming with these on-board Neo Geo games, the Neo Geo Super Pocket will also be compatible with Evercade cartridges, as per all previous Super Pocket handhelds.
The Neo Geo Super Pocket will also be available as a limited edition in Neo Geo MVS colors. The Neo Geo MVS Limited Edition of the Super Pocket is limited to 3000 units, and each will be individually numbered. The limited edition variant is only available from Funstock, but they ship worldwide! The Neo Geo Super Pocket is also set to ship in July 2025, with pre-orders also opening tomorrow (April 1st, 2025).
In addition to The Neo Geo Collection 1 and the Neo Geo Super Pocket, further Neo Geo Evercade products are promised later this year and into the next.
