My favs are alwa's awakening & cathedral, full void, and irem arcade 1. Still playing full void (just got it 2-3 days ago), the game has to be played with headphone (or on tv) since the ambience audio is really good, so you'll miss big part of the game if you're playing it using the evercade exp audio.
Looks good although I'm not interested, I prefer playing 2 screen games on my new 2ds xl since it's looks like the console is more compact compared to this, maybe ayaneo will make the design slimmer in the second gen.
This is a good read. Although psone is still my favorites console of all time (can't beat mgs1, castlevania sotn, and of course, ff7), playstation 2 isn't too far behind. I still remember watching ps2 ridge racer v gameplay demo on my local mall and getting hyped for the game graphics because there's spark flying from the car tyre π
@no_donatello Agree, after ps2 and the original xbox, games development cost become too much that AAA company can't take too much risk. I miss psone era games, everything is so new back then.
Just buy analogue pocket and its dock, while it doesn't have all arcade core, it already has cps1, cps2, robocop, double dragon 1 & 2, etc. Also jotego patreon has tmnt and the simpsons arcade games.
The graphics is very good but without the music quality, it's just not the same experience. The music is a big part of what make castlevania sotn, and the megadrive sound hardware just doesn't cut it.
Maybe it's better if the game is ported to snes since the snes has realy good sound hardware compared to megadrive.
I had the ayn odin lite, while the hardware is good I just can't stand using android as gaming os, there's waay to much stuff to install and setup that in the end it's not worth it for me, so I sold it and back to playing my switch oled and analogue pocket again.
And playing evercade exp too since I enjoyed collecting cartridge and reading games manual
Nice, can't wait to play ngpc on my analogue pocket. When my analogue pocket arrives I though the core already available considering analogue pocket already can play ngpc cartridge from the beginning.
I hope he can make a new normal god strategy/simulation games without gimmick, just make a normal games, like maybe spiritual successor to populous or black & white, or even magic carpet.
No early access though, I don't think people will trust him with early access again.
@BLAZINOAH I don't now about the analogue 3D specs but analogue pocket is marketed for it's gba compability but can play more powerful system like capcom cps 1 and cps 2 arcade hardware, so I hope analogue 3D can play console that's above n64 too.
I think it will be cool if analogue 3D can play dreamcast and gamecube games
Man I hope evercade can contact ubisoft and make prince of persia 1 & 2 cartridge (pc version) for their machine, it will be cool if we can get both pop games on cartridge with manual
For me my analogue pocket with dock is better than buying this console. I'm interested in their n64 machine if that can emulate psone, dreamcast and gamecube though.
Interested in this but in the end I bought alwa awakening & cathedral and full void since it's discounted on videogameplus. Also want to buy pc hero collection for citadel remastered and sword of ianna but it's already sold out.
I really hope Pocket DMG has it own os since android isn't too good for emulation. One of the reason I like analogue pocket is because it's really fast start-up and power off speed (only about 2-3 second).
I want the new blaster master (blaster master zero) collection on cartridge fullset with manual, that would be really cool I think. I have bmz 1 & 2 on switch but I prefer playing it on evercade exp since it's more portable, and I like reading games manual.
Android is kind of suck for emulator, it's better if ayaneo have their own os for these machine, like steam os for steam deck and analogue os/openfpga for analogue pocket.
I really like that analogue pocket start-up time is just 2-3 second.
Thanks for the reviews, as a new owner of evercade exp I like to read games reviews of evercade cartridges, I hope time extension reviews all of them π
@KingMike Yeah. I do hope they're selling the rom online so I can play it on my analogue pocket, I can't play the cart version because I don't have my original genesis anymore lol.
I hope they port this to evercade, I love that evercade cartridge only cost $20 with manual, some of this classic games is just too pricey to collect normally.
One of the best console I own, it's really like having an arcade in your home, me and my friends have a blast playing this console. Soul calibur, craxy taxy, samba de amigo (with maracas controller lol), and virtua tennis all big hit with my friends back then π
Man I hope analogue make a portable fpga handheld with the power to emulate 3D console like dreamcast, gamecube, and ps2, and make the form factor like new nintendo 2ds xl, I think that will be great. I want to have a proper hardware emulation like analogue pocket rather than just software emulation.
@Damo I really like metroidvania games, so I prefer to get additional items/moveset that let me explore more area rather than the games to take my moveset/items away, like getting the mist form ability in castlevania sotn to move through iron gate, etc.
I think goodboy galaxy is a good game but I still undecided whether to buy this on evercade cartridge or buy the rom from their website. If the price is $15 or more I think I prefer to buy it for my evercade exp cartridge though, lol. Also I like the evercade games manual.
Already play both demo on my analogue pocket, witch n wiz is okay (I rarely play puzzle games), and goodboy galaxy is good.
It's kind of annoying though that in goodboy galaxy sometimes you have to go through a section of the game without your ability, wheter it's the jetpack, the jumping ability, or the gun.
Can't wait for this cartridge, just bought evercade exp and I think I'll buy this after playing (digital) capcom games and irem arcade 1 cartridge (both included in exp) π
Still waiting for my evercade exp, I bought it maybe about 2 weeks ago, I hope I can play my exp soon since the package just arrive at my country customs. Maybe it will arrive either tomorrow or the day after.
Eh, just bought a brand new, new nintendo 2ds xl, while emulate rather than playing it on the console itself. Also I don't think the battery life will be good, or the software, unless it use it's own os like analogue os.
I really wish valve make steam mini or lite, just make it smaller without the trackpad and gave it oled screen too. Steam deck is really comfortable to hold but it's too big for me.
Plan to get the demons of asteborg / astebros and duke nukem vol.1 cart. Already try goodboy galaxy and witch n' wiz demo, I think I'll buy goodboy galaxy alone for my analogue pocket on their website.
Already have the old game on switch, I don't like this new version, the old pixel graphics are better I think π
I think developer NatsumeAtari are the best at remaking 2D games, just make the sprite nicer for 1080p resolutions and make the game widescreen, and that's it.
Example of their games: the ninja saviors: return of warriors, pocky & rocky reshrined, and their upcoming shadow of the ninja - reborn (trailer below).
Can't wait for the public release, I'm still playing cps2 core on my analogue pocket, capcom dungeons and dragons: tower of doom is really great. Man I wish I bought the dock when I bought my analogue pocket, now the dock is out of stock.
@Poodlestargenerica I already gave up on phone games, every time I got new phones I always installed bunch of games but in the end I didn't play it, battery life is way more important in phone compared to handheld console.
I have 21 games in my phone that I didn't play, I want to uninstalled it but I want to try playing it at least once π
Just installed cfw on my new 2ds xl last night, yeah using the written guide is easier, I never need to play the youtube video guide. I still want (new) physical 3ds cart though for collection though π

Re: AYANEO Next Lite Is The First Steam Deck Rival To Run SteamOS
I think the problem is now the steam deck already has oled screen and good battery at $550 price, I don't know if ayaneo can compete on power alone.
I wish this ayaneo screen is smaller though, it will be nice to have compact steam deck with 5inch screen, a true lite steam deck.

Re: Best Evercade Games, Ranked By You

Re: So, What Music Will Rainbow Islands Use On Nintendo Switch And PS4?
That's suck since my memories of the game come from the arcade version, I guess I'll wait the game on my analogue pocket then.

Re: Arcade Games Are Coming To Polymega

Re: Yes, This Is Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night On The Sega Mega Drive

Re: Poll: What's The Best Evercade Game So Far?

Re: Godus & Godus Wars Have Been Removed From Steam

Re: The PC-88 Classic Silpheed Blasts Its Way Onto The Switch eShop on December 21st
