Rare is partnering with retro games brand Evercade on the Super Pocket Rare Edition: an old-school handheld console that looks like a Game Boy and includes 14 classics preloaded onto the machine, including the surprisingly wholesome game that eventually led to lewd-as-heck platformer Conker's Bad Fur Day. The Super Pocket Rare Edition comes from one of the best retro handheld makers around and essentially lets you carry a selection of retro Rare games in your literal pocket for the modest price of $70/£50 or one modern AAA game, available June 30. And while one of the best platformers of all time in Banjo-Kazooie headlines the selection, what sticks out to me the most is a little something called Conker's Pocket Tales, a game that's been stuck on the Game Boy for 27 years and didn't even see the light of day in Rare Replay, the iconic developer's celebratory 30-game collection. I won't lie, a Super Pocket handheld that pays tribute to one of the best N64 platfomers of all time wasn't on my bingo card After five years, I can finally turn the Zelda Game and Watch into a proper retro handheld thanks to new microSD and memory mods Roses are red, this retro handheld is blue, and I'll be using it this Valentine's Day to play Street Fighter 2 Conker's Pocket Tales is notable for actually being the first game in the series, having come out a few years before the orange squirrel became a bad-mouthed, hungover mascot in Conker's Bad Fur Day. Considering the fact that the series is even today remembered for its poop-based bosses and big-bosomed sunflowers, it might surprise you to learn that Conker's Pocket Tales was a strictly family-friendly affair. The 13 other titles on the Super Pocket stretch back 40 years to Rare's time as a computer game developer, as well as games made during its acclaimed stint as a Nintendo hitmaker. You can check out the handheld here or order it on Amazon. Here's the full list of games built into the Super Pocket Rare Edition: Atic-Atac (1983) Jetpac (1983) Lunar Jetman (1983) Knight Lore (1984) Gunfright (1985) Slalom (1986) Cobra Triangle (1989) Snake Rattle'N'Roll (1990) Solar Jetman (1990) Battletoads (1991) R.C. Pro-Am 2 (1992) Battletoads In Battlemaniacs (1993) Banjo-Kazooie (1998) Conker's Pocket Tales (1999) Last time I wrote about the miserable squirrel, it was because pop star Doja Cat put him in front of more eyeballs than he's ever been used to via a delightful Halloween costume. Maybe next time it'll be for a new game, fingers crossed. For now, check out the very best N64 games of all time.
