A Milestone Moment for the Evercade Activision Collection
Blaze has confirmed a major milestone for its retro gaming handheld ecosystem with the announcement of Activision Collection 3, the final entry in its Activision series for Evercade and Super Pocket consoles. This new cartridge underscores how far the platform has come in reviving classic arcade games and home console experiences in a modern, collectible format. While earlier Activision collections laid the foundation, this last wave effectively closes the door on further licensing expansion from the label, giving collectors a clear “complete” set to chase. The move also highlights Evercade’s focus on physical media in an era of digital-only releases. Each cartridge becomes both a playable archive and a display piece for enthusiasts who value preservation. By positioning this as the definitive Activision send-off, Blaze signals confidence in its retro strategy while leaving room to deepen partnerships with other publishers.
13 New Retro Console Titles Join the Lineup
Activision Collection 3 brings 13 additional classics to the Evercade Activision collection, further enriching the platform’s library of retro console titles. The cartridge includes Barnstorming, Bridge, Chopper Command, Dolphin, Dragonfire, Ice Hockey, Kabobber, Kaboom!, Keystone Kapers, Laser Blast, Pressure Cooker, The Activision Decathlon, and Thwocker. Many of these games were staples of early home systems and arcade halls, known for their simple controls, fast-paced action, and high-score chasing. For long-time fans, this selection offers a curated cross-section of genres: aerial stunt flying in Barnstorming, frenetic bomb-catching in Kaboom!, high-speed cop-and-robber antics in Keystone Kapers, and intense multi-event competition in The Activision Decathlon. New players, meanwhile, get a crash course in how Activision helped reshape early video game design. Collectively, these 13 additions transform the final cartridge into a compact history lesson of classic arcade games and home adventures.
How Evercade and Super Pocket Users Will Play
As with previous releases, Activision Collection 3 is fully compatible across the Evercade ecosystem and the HyperMegaTech! Super Pocket range, ensuring that every cartridge purchase works seamlessly on multiple devices. Players can slot the collection into the home-focused Evercade VS-R to enjoy these retro console titles on a TV, ideal for couch multiplayer in games like Ice Hockey or for marathon sessions in Pressure Cooker. On the go, the same cartridge can be used with handheld systems such as the Neo Geo-branded Super Pocket, turning the collection into a portable museum of early Activision design. This cross-device support reinforces Evercade’s identity as a flexible retro gaming handheld platform, letting users move effortlessly between big-screen nostalgia and pocket-sized play. It also extends the lifecycle of each cartridge, since owners are not locked into a single piece of hardware.
Pricing, Release Date, and What This Means for Collectors
Blaze is positioning Activision Collection 3 as both a final chapter and a value-driven addition to its catalog. The cartridge is set to arrive on June 26th, 2026, with a listed price of £19.99, $29.99 (approx. RM140), and €24.99. Pre-orders are already available through major retailers such as Amazon, giving collectors ample time to secure a copy before launch. For Evercade enthusiasts, this marks the completion of a significant publisher partnership. Knowing that this is the last Activision-branded cartridge lets fans plan their collections with confidence, while also hinting at future collaborations with other classic labels. The release demonstrates that there is still demand for curated physical compilations of classic arcade games and console hits, especially when they are thoughtfully packaged for modern retro gaming handheld devices.
