@slider1983 no idea why you keep attacking @Atariboy who is just trying to help you. I just came into this thread to inform everyone the sg+ and nx+ have sold out.
As for your issue, it's quickly becoming apparent other people don't have the same issue with the same games. That's why they are going around the houses in an effort to placate you. Maybe there is an issue with those games, possibly the cartridge converter, maybe even a chip in your sg. Yes some comments will be unhelpful (I took would be miffed if someone accused me of a bad faith arguement) but take a step back bro. Life's too short. Do your other games work as intended? Is your experience with Megadrive games good?
I may be in the minority here but I like reproduction carts. The English translations, improved mechanics, added levels etc. My copy of Streets of Rage 3 has seen better days (freezes all the time) and I'm not paying £200 for the privilege to play it, no matter how average it is. So a repro cart is a good option.
As for this guy, you live by the sword and die by the sword. This level of work is done for the experience, interest and intrigue rather than a money making scheme. I've often wondered why publishers fail to reach out to modders, it's an easy win for easy money.
@Kilamanjaro But you are missing the entire point. Evercade is an effort to bring back the buzz of retro gaming on a relatively modern platform. The roms are supplied by the publisher's so you don't end up with games which are glitched/broken/not right, which you get on the emulation handhelds (I own a few the RG40XXV is a highly recommended). Also the next set of games in Doom and Banjo will run natively from your console of choice.
@Krambo42 But no one's asking you to buy the Nexus are they? I significantly prefer the options. I've got a super pocket, vsr and Megaman alpha. I'm personally buying the new controller to go with Doom, the nexus would just sit with my other unused handhelds. I understand people wanting everything, but it's self discipline in saying... Nah I'm good. Evercade have blown up, and as a small hardware company are feeling their way through. What they do next is the future of their company. The Nexus is a big step up to reach a wider audience.
Yeah, I think once the Visco, Doom and Banjo carts drop I will pause the collection. Retro gaming is brilliant obviously (that's why I'm posting here) but for £50 when 2 carts drop, it's a big way towards something else. Such as a multitude of PS3 games or a couple of GameCube games.
Also I pre-ordered Neo geo collection 4 and it's still on back order, so not exactly great service.
Releasing around the same time as the nexus is a self own. I like the foundations of the path Blaze and Hyper Mega Tech set down. But we really need a more focused effort on the journey, now we are getting bogged down via side quests. I think that's the nexus, the new controller and the two 8bit computer handhelds at the same time. As well as the release for arguably the biggest cart in the two Banjo games. It's a bit much.
I would much rather have Blaze release a C64 style keyboard to be used on the Evercade.
Evercade / Blaze is a small but growing UK company. They don't have the marketing clout of a bigger company. Spending hours on discord owing to international logistical issues outside of their control is wasted time. Anyone in the UK can buy games at Argos, Very or the game collection and they arrive within a few days.
@KayFiOS no one's saying it is special, but as the article states, a lot of people have online fatigue. I dont want a subscription, online multiplayer or games streamed from a server. I just want a basic system, cheap games and the occasional surprise. As for what happens in ten years? Hopefully I'm mortgage free and still enjoy my Evercade games.
@MeloMan Just buy one bro. My wife bought a Capcom super pocket for fathers day last year and I built up a collection, bought the vsr console (bought a genesis 8 bit do controller which works a treat) and now own the Megaman alpha. Great timing, 2025 was arguably the best year for Evercade releases.
Top tip. Buy Neo Geo collection 1. It houses Shock Troopers which is phenomenal.
"Digital does bring convenience and speed of availability, but the point of Evercade is to celebrate the past, own your titles, and enjoy that classic gaming experience. As time goes by, many more people are joining us from all age groups as this 'digital apathy' begins to set in and people treat physical products like ours in the same way that vinyl and VHS are being revered once again."
This product is aimed at people like me. I own a number of ways to play games (Series X, PC, Emulator devices) but the Evercade ecosystem allows me to take my collected physical games and play them across a number of devices including a miniature arcade. The physical games only cost £20-25 and usually have a bunch of games. Unlike emulator console libraries, the Roms are provided by the publishers themselves, so are feature complete.
The VSR console is like £80 compared to £500 for a steam deck so it's not a fair comparison. Yes it can get expensive with the legacy cartridges, but as an entryway to retro gaming. It's cheap. And also gives you the buzz of seeing what's next in line with a pipeline of varied media.
