'Evercade Alpha' Listing Hints At New Hardware In 2024

Possibly souped up console hardware, with an dual analog controller, to be better suited to tackle the 32 bit and later games.

I've just lost interest in Evercade at this point, I liked it when it was a basic system with some unusual cartridge releases. I have a Saturn and can play PS1 on my PS3, and have NSO on my Switch, so I really doubt this will reignite my interest.

@Ristar24 Honestly, I think that's OK if you're no longer interested, and it is great that early adopters like you were there to get the company on its feet.

It seems they are looking to push a little more mainstream, finding those folks outside of the "retro" niche and on to untapped markets of that next generation of nostalgia.

I do think they are going to get deeper into the PS1, N64, and Pentium crowd over the next few years, and I hope they have success because there's room for something between the "Big Three" and Jakks Pacific...

@NewBond For me the original was worth it for Midnight Resistance on the Data East cart, the actual Mage Drive version goes for around £100. Plus, the Oliver Twins collection as was interesting, to play the NES versions of Dizzy, plus the Namco collections. I still plug the original hand held into the TV now and again, but the battery seems to only charge half way these days. They also had some weird choices, a Bitmap Brothers collection without Amiga versions was pretty odd.

I own the Evercade EXP and I like It but the screen for me is really too small. Most of the games are meant to be played on a TV screen (arcade, Genesis, NES, etc) and I don't enjoy them if I can't see the fine details. I could only play Goodboy Galaxy on It as It's a GBA game (perfect, as the GBA was infact meant to be played on a tiny screen and graphics are big enough accordingly). At the moment, for me, It's been a bit a waste of Money. I Hope for o model with a screen like the Switch's

I’m intrigued and I’ve bought the original evercade hardware but I actually lost interest when it came to the evercade EXP and I’ve actually never even opened the box 😱I think I’ve reached the stage where I am just too overloaded with unopened games/too much backlog. I love that they have tomb raider onboard but for me I already have the remastered collection on switch so it’s not really necessary for me to buy it again , I would jump at the chance if they end up releasing the other 2 PS1 era tomb raiders ( last revelation and chronicles). Very curious to see what they do next

I'm an early adopter and have been suffering from backlog since the beginning -I already had backlog with all the other systems and very young children at home-, but I love what Evercade brought into the market. I love having the chance to own and try hidden gems and even not that good but somehow interesting games, the big names are already available on multiple other systems.

But I don't appreciate being left behind, and this Alpha naming suggests some kind of hardware which at some point will be the only way that some carts will work. With all the backlog I admit that I've not used the Evercade, nor the Evercade VS, as much as I would've liked, so if now they release a new and vastly enhanced version I will feel compelled to buy it and say goodbye to my current ones. And that's something that I don't like, because it's sad, but I don't want to keep unused systems either.

Hmm, maybe it's a good thing I held off on getting an Evercade so far. Does anyone know if Evercade supports Retro Achievements? Because for me that's the new way to play old games these days. I just love that community and seeing awesome Achievement sets being created by it.

@Pillowpants So far it doesn't. It does have save states, auto fire, basic screen filters, bezels (optional) and button remapping.

Hopefully a more powerful portable with dual analogue stick for psone & dreamcast classic, man it will be really cool if they partnered up with konami and make castlevania sotn (psone version) and dracula x rondo of blood (pc engine version) collection cartridge complete with manual, I'll spend $40-$50 on that no problem lol.

And maybe suikoden 1-2 psone collection cartridge too while they're at it. Also porting sega arcade games to evercade cartridge too.

Handheld with multiplayer capability as you can plug a controller in
