Songbird Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 We're getting one last shipment of each; should be here in a week or two. Orders open now. https://songbird-productions.com 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 There's a big new update out that adds a library section with overviews of all Evercade carts: They check off as you load them on the console. They also improved the cartridge patching process to communicate better what is happening during cart patching and some other stuff. https://evercade.co.uk/evercade-features-update-april-2024/ Plus the new Game of the Month is here: https://evercade.co.uk/evercade-game-of-the-month-2024-1-the-curse-of-illmoore-bay/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't favor the games on that collection. When I got the Evercade VS, the game was included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Combatribes, Double Dragon 2, Block Out, Mysterious Stones, Battle Lane, Mat Mania Challenge, and Minky Monkey are all worth playing, and only Double Dragon 2 is available legally elsewhere. Mysterious Stones and Block Out in particular are all timers for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 If anybody needs them, I have extra copies of Technos Arcade 1 and Data East Arcade 1. I was thinking $30 for BOTH! I'll even cover shipping if you live in the U.S.! (PM Me!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Blaze announced that they are going to be releasing some cartridges with twice as much storage as the previous biggest carts, called Gigacarts. This will allow multiple PS1 games or some of the bigger recent indies. https://evercade.co.uk/introducing-giga-cart/ There will be two Gigacarts this year. They will be slightly more expensive, at £22.49/$24.99/€24.99. (US Evercaders get the best deal here and UK gets the worst.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Along those same lines, Tomb Raider Collection 1 and Thalamus Collection 1 have been leaked on Amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Tomb Raider would be a pass for me, IMO that type of game + early 3D = hard to revisit. I imagine it's an even harder sell for a younger generation that has no nostalgia for the titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it's an even harder sell for a younger generation that has no nostalgia for the titles. I still think it has a good chance of being their biggest-selling title, even moreso than the Duke Nukem collections. These things sell on name recognition and nostalgia as much as actual playability. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Do you think these games would play well with Evercade controllers though? Or maybe it means one of the new hardware will be a traditional controllers with two analog sticks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Well, I was way off. I guess they did just introduce a new console and handheld. No clue what's different yet, though. I read that they may go on sale on Funstock with a limited edition 2,000 units a bit later today. If they're the same hardware, just cheaper, that's a hard pass.

+jgkspsx Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Tomb Raider never used analog controls on PlayStation. There's no point. New hardware incoming: https://evercade.co.uk/new-hardware-new-lower-price-introducing-evercade-exp-r-and-evercade-vs-r/ Cheaper price, no Capcom games, EXP-R loses HDMI out. VS is mostly the same. Quote Evercade EXP-R The Evercade EXP-R sees many changes from the original Evercade EXP to help reduce the cost of the product. The Evercade EXP-R is the best way to play Evercade cartridge on the go with the focus now purely on the handheld gaming experience. The console also comes in charcoal grey with turquoise accents on the Menu, Start, and Select buttons, as well as the power button. A new textured grip on the rear of the console provides extra comfort during longer play sessions. Like the previous model, the Evercade EXP-R also includes WiFi for easy updates, and the TATE button at the bottom, to allow you to rotate your console and play vertical games easily and with an accurate screen ratio. The Evercade EXP-R will come with a USB-C charging cable and also one Evercade cartridge collection bundled, using our new Giga Cart format, to be announced shortly. Prices for the Evercade EXP-R are now much lower at £99.99, $99.99 and €119.99. There are some key differences between the Evercade EXP-R and the Evercade EXP. With the conclusion of our licensing agreement for the Evercade EXP, the Evercade EXP-R will not include the bonus 18 built-in titles from Capcom. These will still be available on the Evercade EXP for new and existing owners. The Evercade EXP-R is also optimised for gaming on the go, as many of our fans prefer this method of gaming, either during travel or on the sofa. Therefore the Mini-HDMI out has also been removed from the Evercade EXP-R. Evercade VS-R The Evercade VS-R now comes in a charcoal grey with turquoise accents with the front LED and Power button. The Evercade VS-R still features a dual cartridge slot and four USB ports for local multiplayer action. The HDMI output makes this the best way to play retro games on your television or monitor at 1080p resolution. The console firmware now includes the option for TATE screen rotation, which means if your monitor or television supports it, you can now play vertical games on a big screen to great effect. WiFi connectivity allows you to update your console firmware with ease. Included in the Evercade VS-R package is one controller (also in charcoal grey with turquoise accents), one micro-USB power cable, one HDMI cable, and one Evercade cartridge collection, using our new Giga Cart format, which will be announced later this month. Prices for the Evercade VS-R are now a single simplified price at £89.99, $99.99 and €109.99. Additional Evercade VS-R Controllers will also be available separately. Namco Museum Collection 1 & 2 are also not supported on Evercade VS-R. We hope you enjoy this new product line, which we hope at its new price point will bring even more new Evercade players and fans to our ever increasing community. Evercade TATE Grip We are also releasing a new peripheral for the Evercade EXP and Evercade EXP-R. The Evercade TATE Grip will secure your Evercade EXP or Evercade EXP-R in a comfortable controller-like cradle, enabling you to play TATE games for longer with more accurate response and user comfort. This will be available from Evercade retailers for £17.99, $19.99 and €19.99 from July 2024. Evercade EXP and VS With the announcement and release of both of these consoles in July 2024, we have now discontinued the Evercade EXP and Evercade VS consoles. They are available from retailers while stocks last and normal warranty rules still apply for new and existing purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I guess I'm interested in the TATE grip. That's certainly needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800Knight Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I see someone beat me to posting the news about the Giga Cart and the newer console. I am eager to see what we get. I'm still hoping for Neo Geo games on Evercade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Loguidice Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Just now, madman said: I really can't see revised hardware being limited to only 2,000 units, everything that's been limited has been stated up front. Yeah, there's no way. These are their standard SKUs that are no longer tied to IP. It's probably some type of limited edition bundles, if anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I still like the company and product BUT... Anyone who has yet to be able to defeat their internal FOMO demon is going to end up with one large closet full of "discontinued" systems that -basically- all do the same thing Happy with my "original" Vs. at this point 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I don't think they expect anybody to buy these who already has a VS or who has a working EXP. I expect they have a lot of returns etc for the EXP, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, EU got hit with regular inflation on top of shrinkflation 😕 I took the video at its word, I had to go look at the price for the starter pack again to find out I was wrong.

But I haven't used it in a few months. Also, I don't have many carts in my collection. I'm waiting for some better collections to release. It'd be nice if one day there was a Saturn/Dreamcast collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
