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.
