This is good news and, I may be reading too much into this, but I think that someone tipped off Crazy Burger.

It seems like a big coincidence that he just happened to put the Namco carts in his console so soon after a firmware update knowing full well that they don't work.

Maybe there's more Namco content coming soon? Maybe there's a new deal with Blaze and Namco? Maybe it was all a mistake and it's too late to go back now and Blaze are hoping Namco just don't notice? Either way, it's great news and as always, I'll look forward to seeing what's next for the Evercade.

@DiceRobo Wow. 9? Any idea which systems launched with a Ridge Racer? I can only count 2 I think...

Some interesting points in the article, the main one being that they haven't secured ANY funding yet. This either means that they're in the very, very early stages of development (if so, it's unlikely they'll release this year) or that no one is interested.

My initial thought is that they should team up with Antstream and have this as a dedicated Antstream Box but that seems unlikely to happen.

This is ace however, I've never been able to get a translation pack working properly. I must be doing something wrong.

I backed this on the Dreamcast and didn't realise that it came with a Steam key. I've just had a quick go on it and so far, so good! It's nicely presented, plays well and seems quite a challenge so yeah, I'm excited to play this on my Dreamcast.

I'll be very surprised if this actually makes the new date.

I like the looks of this controller and would use it with my PC via Bluetooth however... I'm not sure rumble is supported over Bluetooth? I currently use an Xbox One controller with a Microsoft adaptor and rumble works with that but I seem to recall reading that it doesn't work with 3rd party pads.

That's a bit of a deal breaker as I play Sea of Thieves and the rumble feature is used on the steering wheel so you know when you're pointing in the right direction.

My parents used to have a phone with an R button. I think it was a reset button so you didn't have to replace the handset to make another call.

I'd buy one of those in a heart beat!

I backed the Dreamcast version of this via Kickstarter and for the life of me, I can't think why or how I got suckered into it?

I'm pretty sure I'll never see it released so all that money has just gone down the drain.

I think I read somewhere once that the data transfer rate of that little memory card slot is actually higher than reading a DVD so if that's true, I can't see this having any problems at all.

This could be just the thing I need to slim down my PS2 physical collection.

Sounds like you've been unlucky there @Koekiemonster. I've had nothing but a brilliant time with my Evercade across the various formats and never experienced any freezes or crashes.

I think it's unfair to compare the Evercade to a Chinese handheld too because whilst they're fun, they are entirely based on illegal Roms.

Of course, I appreciate your position and I imagine I'd be singing a different tune if I'd experienced faulty carts and crashes but for now, I'm more than happy with the Evercade and am looking forward to what they release in 2025.

I love an announcement of an announcement.

I would love a physical version of this for the Switch but that does seem unlikely over here.

Isn't the 360 version of this backwards compatible anyway? I suppose the online play is enticing but it's a Limited Run game so there's no chance of me going for this one.

This looks great. I haven't bought a Switch game for ages so I think it's time to treat myself.

@RetroGames Redream is a great Dreamcast emulator.

I do try to love my 32X, I honestly do, but every time I set it up and try to play a game, I come away disappointed.

Apart from playing Virtua Racing that is. That's ace.

I've recently bought the Dreamcast version of this and it's a great little game.

It's good to see an indie release that's not exactly taxing on the hardware, but is nicely presented, unique and well polished.

It's a tough one this. While it's a nice, romantic idea to acknowledge the creator, he was on the Sega payroll at the time so would have been financially reimbursed for his creation.

Also, I doubt that records would exist proving that he was the only person that had any input in the character design. What if someone comes out the woodwork saying that they inspired the character during a conversation during a break in a kitchen canteen?

I do agree that it would be really nice for Naoto Ohshima to have a credit but clearly a business decision has been made to possibly protect Sega and their IP which at the end of the day, they're free to do what they want with.

@Jesse_dylan I think we both know the answer to that question!

This is pretty crap all round isn't it? I don't know of Rose Tinted Spectrums personal circumstances but what if he relies on advertising money to live and support a familly?

At the very least, YouTube has banned a very entertaining channel so I hope that it will return in some form or another soon.

I remember having a piece of paper which updated with my saves on it. Imagine having the time or patience to do that now?

Personally, I tend to avoid companies that openly treat their customers like morons.

@poyo_pie I shall have to try it out I reckon. I don't know, I think at the time it just was lost on me between a sea of better platformers.

I can't imagine anyone sitting around thinking "I really wish they'd remaster Croc...."

I collect all the carts so this one will be no different but I hadn't heard of these games before the announcement. A nice surprise!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Snow Bros 2 is the sequel that sullies the originals name.

Maybe this cart will change my opinion? Fingers crossed!

Pipi and Bibi looks ace though!

I was working at GAME at the time this launched and I loved it. The Dreamcast was truly amazing and I remember seeing the bright colours and amazing visuals on all the TV screens in store and thinking that games wouldn't get any better. I'd marvel at Soul Calibur and be amazed by the way the Lizard man moved and rattled his jaw.

The warehouse was full of all the pre-orders we'd taken and we had stacks of games ready to go... with only a handful of broken boxes at the time too!

What a time to be a gamer. We didn't know how good we had it.

I love the original Snow Bros but I'm struggling to think of a sequel that sullies the originals name as much as this one does.

I find it a bit strange that they aren't just releasing the games. If they have them there, ready to go, just release them and make Antstream even better.

I've been toying with buying these for ages and this new article pushed me over the edge. Nice one Time Extension! You finally got me.

Nam Rood would be proud.

These do look awesome however... Since they're Limited Run Games, and I promised to never spend another penny with them, I'll have to miss out.

It does bode well though because if I can resist buying these, I can resist anything they'll ever put out.

@Bonggon5 On the other hand, I do see the appeal of the Evercade and I'm glad it's getting new releases. They seem to keep getting better too!

@RootsGenoa Yeah, I'm sure that we'll be able to use save states... I mean, you can on the Duke Nukem collection can't you? I imagine this is a similar style of emulation.

Interesting note about the manual saves in the game. The review makes it sound like the games don't take advantage of the Evercades built in save states but I'm sure that's not the case.

Well this is exciting. It seems that the Evercade has really hit it's stride this year.

I can't imagine anyone looking at the Evercade library and thinking that there's nothing for them on there.

Looking forward to this one but it's shame we haven't got the Amiga version of Speedball 2. That's my absolute favourite.

Also, I wonder if Magic Pockets will have the original music? I'm guessing not.

I do keep thinking that maybe this will come out on the Evercade at some point? They're yet to announce the next giga cart and have already got a relationship with Capcom.

It'd be amazing if it did but I am preparing myself for disappointment.

I do like my shooters so I'm really looking forward to this!

I'm a big fan of Burger Time too so yeah, this is ideal.

@Gs69 and it works straight out the box once it's paired with the USB 2 receiver?

This seems like the answer to my prayers.

@Gs69 You may have just answered a question I've been having for months now.. I'm trying to find the perfect controller for the A500 Mini and I'd never even considered the Neo Geo controller!

Nice work... I might have to give one a go.

@Diogmites You probably have. The controller pictured is the analogue pad for the console. It wasn't the default pad that came with the console and was released after the console came out.

@NinChocolate Something like these you mean?

I believe you can buy them from Aliexpress but they're about £30 a figure which is a bit steep for my liking.

How strange. I thought Blast Corps was already on there? Oh well, looking forward to these!

@-wc-
Don't know if you have an Xbox but it's available on the 360 and it's backwards compatible so it works on the later models too.

I worked for GAME years ago and managed to pick up a complete copy of Symphony of the Night on the Playstation for £6.50.

I've still got it now.

This looks ace! Fingers crossed it'll come to the Evercade in the future.

A strong showing for several arcade cartridges there and to be honest, I'm not surprised to see the C64 or Intellivision carts not make the top 20.
