HyperMegaTech! Unveils Super Micro Keychain Gamer Series: Portable Classics Arrive in October

HyperMegaTech! Announces Super Micro Keychain Gamer Series, Bringing Iconic Arcade Hits to Your Pocket In a significant move for retro gaming enthusiasts, HyperMegaTech!—the sub-brand of Blaze and the team behind the Evercade handheld series—has officially announced the Super Micro Keychain Gamer series.

Set for release in October 2024, this new product line aims to deliver a highly portable retro gaming experience by shrinking down arcade classics to a keyring-sized device. The Super Micro Keychain Gamer devices feature a 2-inch RGB TFT display with a resolution of 240x320 pixels, offering sharp visuals in an ultra-compact profile.

Powered by three AAA batteries, each unit is designed for convenience and portability, allowing fans to enjoy authentic arcade gameplay on the go.

With a responsive control pad and built-in speaker with volume control, the Super Micro Keychain Gamer delivers a user experience tailored for both nostalgia and modern convenience. The initial launch will offer four unique editions, each packing classic titles faithfully ported from their original arcade counterparts: • Super Micro Asteroids Edition: Includes Asteroids, Gravitar, and Yars’ Revenge • Super Micro Centipede Edition: Features Centipede, Millipede, and Crystal Castles • Super Micro Space Invaders Edition: Focused on the timeless Space Invaders • Super Micro BurgerTime Edition: Comes with BurgerTime, Karate Champ, and Side Pocket All versions are priced at £19.99 / $29.99 / €24.99, making them an accessible entry point for collectors and retro fans alike.

These miniature consoles stand out as the first HyperMegaTech! products to forgo cartridge compatibility, focusing instead on an out-of-the-box experience with pre-installed games. Reflecting on the launch, HyperMegaTech! described the Super Micro Keychain Gamer series as, "the ultimate retro gaming companions that fit right on your keys.

These officially licensed micro-consoles pack real, playable classics into a portable form factor that’s small enough to carry anywhere, yet big enough to deliver an authentic arcade-style experience." Blaze, the parent company, has previously won acclaim for its Evercade family—which includes the EXP and VS models—and its Super Pocket handhelds, all distributed under the HyperMegaTech! umbrella.

The Super Micro Keychain Gamer series further demonstrates Blaze’s commitment to making classic video game experiences both accessible and portable. With an official release date scheduled for October 2024, the Super Micro Keychain Gamer series is poised to become a must-have item for both veteran gamers and newcomers eager to discover the golden age of arcade gaming.
