Wild. I was expecting a better spec machine for a bit more money, instead they're releasing a lower spec machine for less money. Bizarre, considering the consoles were cheap as chips anyway. If I'm honest, I don't really get this. Still, I hope they sell and support Evercade further.
(I might even pick up a VS seeing as it's bundled with a cart which will have an RRP of about £22, meaning the console will effectively cost next to nothing!
Best announcement for me was something they hid away at the bottom of an article - a TATE grip for the handhelds.

Re: Evercade
Oh nice, I missed that.
Re: Evercade
Looks like the first 'giga-cart' is going to be Tomb Raider trilogy. To be honest I have absolutely no interest in playing these games now, but it's certainly interesting. If they run alright on the Evercade it opens up a lot of exciting possibilities.

Re: Evercade
Interesting. I'm not familiar with any of those games but they look like they're on C64? The shoot em up near the start looks particularly good.
My interest has waned a little on the new VS console though since seeing it'll be bundled with Tomb Raider, but I guess I could always sell the cart.

Re: Evercade
So Evercade have announced the Alpha, and it's not what I'd guessed it might be!

Must admit, they look very nice, seem reasonably priced and would be a great way to play the arcade carts I've collected. Will I buy one though? Aaah, probably not. The novelty would likely soon wear off and I'd go back to the handheld EXP. A slightly larger screen might have swayed me.
Excellent idea. Bar top arcade system which plays cartridges!
I like that they exist.
