Evercade's Next Carts Include Batsugun, Super BurgerTime, Edward Randy And Midnight Resistance

So Midnight Resistance is thus presumably the arcade game (which I recall was a different game than the Genesis game, yes)?
But the big difference is that the arcade version was one of those rotary joystick games. (that is, you could both move AND twist the joystick to move and fire in different directions)
Can the Evercade handle that?
I do remember playing Time Soldiers on PSP, and that used L and R to rotate which wasn't nearly as good as a proper solution.

Midnight Resistance, with a d-pad sucks.
No matter what setting, even in the genesis version, it's just a hassle to play.
If the Evercade consoles had analog sticks, it would work great as a twin stick game.
That's how I control the game, when emulating rotary games, on the PC.

Not even I know how many ways you can buy Batsugan, but I'm pretty sure at this point they're just trying to beat Sonic 2

I play Duke Nukem Time to Kill with the 8Bitdo Controller
Maybe they could make a Deal with 8Bitdo and Release an "Evercade" Version as "pro" Controller.

Very nice additions. Will definitely pick these up. Wondering now whether we will get another Irem collection with Gunforce 2 included.

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.

I have an Evercade Alpha ordered, as my first piece of Evercade hardware. Love the SF Alpha series, so that was an easy sell for me.

The problem with trying to launch the Toaplan volume alongside the Alpha is that it's a horizontally oriented bartop, so not really a great fit with Batsugun, Truxton, Outzone... vertically oriented games on a system you can't use in TATE mode. Cool for the handheld players, but ehhhhh I am less enthusiastic about them on the Alpha. Same reason I am not all that excited to pick up the first two Toaplan volumes to go with my system.

Edward Randy on the Data East one is pretty cool though.

I think I'll get data east arcade 2 cartridge 😃

I always assumed Edward Randy was lost to license purgatory after G-Mode and the rest carved up the corpse of Data East. Awesome to actually see it get released in some format! Hopefully the Evercade hardware is able to emulate it correctly.

Nice to finally see some love for the arcade line, but 2 cartridges (and I guess that's a wrap in that department to 2024) seems too little after such a long time waiting for it.

Anyway, it's better than nothing, but although I'm really glad to see some gems here that we can't have legally anywhere else, such as Edward Randy or Ghox, I gotta say that most of these games I already own them on Switch (Data East ones specifically, after repeated super discounts in Johnny Turbo's Arcade line) or in the Astro City Minis (standard and V) and Egret II Mini, so there is a lot of overlapping in my case. But... there we have those games not available before that I guess are worth the price of admission.

What I can't fully understand is that they've been linking the release of these two cartridges to the release of the Alpha models themselves... and yet many games are of vertical orientation, and that doesn't quite match with the cabinets' screens features.

In one, glad to know about these releases, but overall it could have been done better.

The toaplan cart is amazing value for money considering the games you're getting your hands on would cost you thousands to buy legitimately on other older physical media.

As others have said, midnight resistance will be a difficult game to play with the lack of analogue or rotary controls. Intrigued to see how they map the controls though 🤔
