Evercade maker Blaze has just announced a special YouTube broadcast revealing future collections for the retro-focused family of systems.
Airing on May 31st, Evercade Showcase - Vol.1 promises to unveil 'new cartridge announcements' for the Evercade line, which includes the original Evercade handheld (which has now been discontinued), Evercade EXP and Evercade VS.
Released in 2020, the original Evercade presented an alternative to digital downloads by offering curated collections on physical carts, complete with printed, full-colour manuals. Since then, Blaze has signed deals with a wide range of publishers and IP holders, including Irem, Team17, The Bitmap Brothers, Piko Interactive, Jaleco, Technos, Codemasters, Toaplan, Atari, Namco and Intellivision – deals which have resulted in carts showcasing some of the best games these companies have to offer.
If you're looking for the full list of all Evercade cartridges released so far, we've got you covered.

Just got my own Evercade EXP yesterday and I'm really impressed with it. The D-pad and buttons are terrific and the device feels a lot better and comfortable in my hands compared to a Switch or Steamdeck (which might have something to do with the modest size of my hands).
@ShaiHulud It's a tiny system, I find it really uncomfortable to hold, and the fact that all the button mappings are either awful, or backwards, means that I cannot play it for more than ten minutes without getting some form of hand pain.
@YANDMAN See, that's where I think my small hands come into play. My hands start to cramp up when I play on a PSP, handeld Switch or Steamdeck for even slightly longer periods of time. I don't have an issue with the button mapping either as I'm used to switch buttons around ever since I played the Mega Man Legacy collection on the Gamecube. I think I read somewhere they might be implementing button mapping in future updates though.
Button mapping is live with the latest firmware! Before you start a game, select the box with '...' and take it from there!
@parkinho Whaaaaat? When did that drop?
@YANDMAN I believe it was the recent update that brought the latest indie game of the month (Thunder Paw)
