Feature Everything Revealed At The Evercade Showcase Vol. 1

The sunsoft collection is gonna be a must have for me !

That Duke Nukem Evercade is very tempting

Oh wow... Not going to lie, I wasn't really paying much attention to Evercade but now they've got my interest. Sunsoft made me sit up in my chair.
They seem to be very in touch with what folks want: physical collectable media and the option to play the titles as they originally were or with any of the enhancements they've done. I love that. It's really refreshing to see a competitor in "the console wars" making such big strides with this 3rd party support. Well then, might be buying an Evercade sooner than I thought.

Very happy with the presentation! I love my Evercade(s), and these were some awesome announcements.

This is growing into a cool little system, both the portable and home console versions.

Also, I'm not sure everyone can quite see this yet, but if Nintendo released a SNES Classic Mini 2 with still around 20+ pre-installed games but now with a working mini cartridge slot that could also play both compilations of original SNES games on mini carts just like Evercade plus any brand new SNES indie/homebrew games on their own mini carts too, it could be absolutely huge.

The original SNES Classic Mini sold 5.28 million units (I'm going to say that's more than every single other modern Mini system plus the Evercade combined), so just imagine how well a second SNES Classic Mini like this could sell. . . .

Also, if such a thing were to happen, I think it would make sense to release much better and up-to-date developer documentation too, along with possibly even some new and well-made development tools for these developers to actually work with in modern times (imagine Nintendo's official take on something like a SNES Maker).

My point being, as cool as they are, I'll never buy one of these Evercade systems, but I would buy a new SNES Classic Mini with a working mini cartridge slot like I described. And I think you'd find that to be a truth for multiple millions of other people out there too.

Seriously, again, the potential here could be massive--basically like a [Mini] SNES revival in modern times.

Some of the carts look interesting but very few games per cart,which is becoming more common with Evercade.

Well, i don't like being a bearer of bad news and especially on this site, but apparently people on Twitter immediatedly spotted that the cover art for the Duke Nukem 1 & 2 Remasters is a product generated by AI.

So tempted to buy an Evercade VS. Must resist.
Happy to see the Evercade doing well. Way to go Blaze Entertainment!

@KGRAMR What's the bad news?

@Jacoby Do it! The Evercade VS is one of my favorite consoles I have ever purchased. Really good deal, too.

@MetalGear_Yoshi I already said it on My post. Evercade hired an artist who uses AI for the key art of the Duke Nukem remasters.

Woah, had very little interest in the evercade before but that Duke Nukem system looks very cool and including both collections makes it a very maybe buy for me at that price!

But I don't know much about the evercade to be honest. Does it support 3rd party controllers that have analog sticks? And is there full button mapping available for such controllers like mapping buttons to stick movements?

I can't remember how the PS1 dukes controlled but I feel like this would be a useful feature anyway. I remember remapping Medal of Honour PS1 to dual analog (even if it wasn't true analog) in Retroarch and it just felt so much more familiar for me to be able to play.

Also, what resolution does the Evercade VS output at? Are the games displayed at original resolution or are they upscaled for TV or downscaled for the handheld at all?

Not trying to be a killjoy, I am genuinely curious --what exactly gives the Evercade the edge over something like say, a Switch that has a lot of these games available on the eShop?

@Andee Physical cartridges instead of a store Nintendo will close in less than 10 years after the Switch is replaced.

Interested in some of these. The Piko cartridges are always fascinating time capsules of lost and forgotten games. Duke ones look great. Sunsoft is a maybe as well.

@no_donatello there, there are some really out of leftfield choice cuts on there. Did you get the handheld or the console? It's cool that carts play on both

@Andee I own both, but I almost exclusively play the handheld. Carts play on both, and your saves are on the carts, so switching between them is no problem.

This Chrismas I rationalized the purchase of original evercade for the lynx collections and arcade cartridges. Lynx was a system I had only borrowed from a friend as a child and I wanted to visit some of it's games again. I ended up playing some classics and I already have a few cartridges. It's a cool system with an interesting library. I'm so happy that gets much more attention than I anticipated.
