    Oh they got a Renovation collection ! One of my favorite publisher on the Genesis. I hear noboby talk about them. I'm thinking about this Evercade. Love the concept and the game library variety ! I hope they put out a Apogee Collection !! 🙏 Wanna play Commander Keen and original 2D Duke Nukem games again. They got so many classics !

    I’m definitely ordering one of these! 😄Admittedly seeing 2 cartridge slots kind of reminded me of the Tiger Game Com handheld console, if anyone remembers that?? 😛

    I’ve always associated the Vs. with the fact that you now can play with (or against) a friend a feature not available on the OG handheld.
    I’ve had the system since launch and I enjoy it greatly. I wish there was more indie games for the system and maybe that’ll change in the future, both Alwa’s Awakening and Cathedral are releasing this month so fingers crossed. But all and all a fantastic system that should be interesting for any retro gaming fan 😺

      Yeah by far Xenocrisis is my go to on the Evercade so far so i would love to see more indie modernish games. That is an excellent point about the VS slogan

      To be honest, Nintendo Switch is designed around two players using the same device (split screen support in many games, detachable joycons, kickstand etc.).

    I'd definitely be down for Blaze doing PC Engine games for the Evercade myself, especially the Japanese ones like Macross 2036 and Ginga Fukkei Densetsu Sapphire too. I'd also love for them to port more classic JRPGs like Terranigma and Phantasy Star IV too.

    I might have to buy one of these eventually as the library just keeps getting better and better. The only things I don't like are the placement out the start and select buttons (although I could get used to it so it's not a huge deal) and the fact that many of the cartridges have gone out of production. Also, I must say that the lack of any Nintendo games is a HUGE bummer. They have a massive amount of classic games, and we all know that we'll never see them on the Evercade.

    Very nice video, I got my dual controller VS bundle on sale and a gift card got it down to the price of the starter bundle! Ive been having fun playing games I missed or wanted to try, and the hidden/monthly games are a really nice touch. I do wish someone could make something wild and new for this console but still a very fine system to destress from modern gaming (at least for me lol).

  • @boboifiii1289

    very interesting. this cool depending on collections. would be great for keeping older games mainstream, but hopefully it works out. that capcom license they got is a great development and I hope the cartridge situation gets resolved. the physical carts have me interested though.

    • @MichaelBtheGameGenie
      @MichaelBtheGameGenie  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Physical crats were what brought me to the table and got me interested with the original Evercade. It was specifically the Renovation Collection and EXP that got me interested again

    I love the Evercade not for retro games per say because I have many retro systems, but I do love the cartridges that have games I have never played or cannot find anywhere but the Evercade. Can't wait for my EXP.

  • @kdj29
    @kdj29 ปีที่แล้ว

    i just picked up the vs and the handheld delux ed or extra or whatever they are calling it that comes with the capcom games and bought a handful of cartridges to get me started. What really sold me on these systems is the physical media. i prefer having cartridges instead of relying on DC games, mainly because after a system is out fir awhile and discontinues, after a few years the company usually dissolves its support for the system, so if you only have your games archived on their server, and not on an sd card, your screwed... and what happens if your sd card breaks or becomes corrupted??? hope you have lots of backups... and the big memory sd cards are pricey.... so yeah, having a cartridge is awesome!

  • @PaulXMann
    @PaulXMann 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just sold my Evercade handheld and VS Founder's Edition... I love the concept, but the lack of AAA-titles (I know some Capcom games are coming as a built-in on the EXP, but not as carts) and insistence on focusing on indies and PC games was a turn off. The idea that certain carts aren't cross-compatible between systems was a bummer, too. But the final straw was the lack of official wireless control options that made the whole scenario a bit too inconvenient. It's great to collect and looks nice on the shelf, but didn't have value for me beyond that. I wish them the best of luck, though!

    • @MichaelBtheGameGenie
      @MichaelBtheGameGenie  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Paul! I completely understand where you are coming from brother. Like i mentioned in the video it was the renovation collection which got me hyped and brought me back in and i also may be getting super hyped about the EXP as well. Hopefully they can turn the corner and bring in more aaa games

    That is a sexy Pong table!
    I have to say that I find it really irritating when stuff like this doesn't come with a charger. The box probably cost more than a suitable charger. If it is something I'm willing to spend oney on, I'll pay the extra couple of dollars.
    "Gary's".
    You make a. Compelling argument, and if they had shipped you one to review earlier I might have bought it during the last sale

      @MichaelBtheGameGenie  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How smooth was the handling on the controllers? That typically is where many of these types of machines fail in my opinion. It also would be great if they had a fight controller as you said. I have high hopes for this console and am looking to get one myself 😊

      It's really good. I was super nervous because of the pressure pad dpad and I have never liked those but this works surprisingly well and i never felt i needed to switch it out for something else. I still do hope they release an arcade stick at some point.

  • @CZpersi
    @CZpersi ปีที่แล้ว

    If this supports any external controllers over USB, then the only logical step is for someone to build an arcade machine out of it. Heck, even Blaze themselves could produce "arcade cabinets" powered by this hardware and carts and send them "IKEA style" for customers to assemble at home. Not everyone is a purist, who needs original hardware and original parts. Many of us would be fully satisfied with this solution.
