Didn’t know what this product was going to be like, but I have a Nintendo Switch so was pretty open minded when it came to owning another handheld. I’m glad I was because this is awesome. form factor wise, it’s the perfect size, it’ll fit in your pocket so you can play it on the train or wherever you like. It’s also really well made, not cheap at all, and a special mention has to go to the dpad, it’s reminiscent of the Sega Saturn one, but in my opinion it’s better. Also have heard from some people that they’d prefer a glass screen (as the Evercade has a plastic one), but I can confirm that the screen is fine and good enough any retro titles and you feel a little better about your purchase because it’s not fragile so you can just chuck it in your bag if you’re going out for the day. You can also play on your television screen (as long as you have the correct HDMI cable). But the absolute best thing about this is that it’s geared towards collectors like me. The boxes and their artwork are top notch and the cartridges are numbered. Little touches like this matter. It shows that the people behind the console care about their content. I also like the fact that the games are licensed from the original company’s that made them so they get paid. You get a good variety of games on the cartridges as well so there’s something for every one. If you like retro gaming then this is for you.

Got this for myself, but my 12-year old daughter grabbed it first, based on seeing Dig Dug in Stranger Things recently. She had great fun with that, Centipede, Pac Man, Earthworm Jim and a few others before I managed to swipe it back – so Evercade could have a wider appeal than you might think beyond us grown-up-kids. Always good to have a high-score competition buddy.As for the Evercade unit, delighted at the overall feel, comfortable for extended play and easy on the eye with a solid, if plastic, feel to everything. The screen is crystal clear, the d-pad and large buttons are smooth in use. Haven’t tried it on a TV yet!If you’re a really old gamer, the cartridges are quite tight to fit and extract, so not sure what people without a strong grip might do?The button mapping can be a bit odd on some games, but a firmware update has sorted that if its an issue (there was one game where a face button quit the game, but the only example I’d noticed).Think the bundle is well worth the money, with great value in the early game packs, even if there are a few misses among the curated titles. Looking forward to the Atari Lynx collections and Xeno Crisis. Also later in the year when more arcade originals are promised.The future looks bright for this little handheld and I’ll happily support it all the way. Guess it’d be cool if some of the money went to the original developers rather than whoever holds the copyright of the games, but maybe Blaze can sort that out.

First, positively speaking, the range of games is really quite interesting. Some expected classics and some fun surprises. The screen, while fairly low res, is fine for the age of gaming it emulates, and there is improvement when you connect to an HDTV, though that is not how I ever intended to play with the Evercade.The negatives: If you look at the screen at any angle other than directly at it, the colours will darken, brighten or even fade away completely.. Really annoying when your hands naturally twist and turn during frantic moments of some games.The build quality is fairly poor too, though perhaps to be expected at this price point. The shoulder buttons especially feel cheap. Giving an annoying, tinny clicking noise when you press them. The speakers in the device are awful also. though these games tended not to have amazing sound quality anyway.Finally, and most annoyingly, the cartridges are an extremely tight fit in to the console. So much so, that I fear I am going to break the screen when trying to remove them. I hope this loosens over time, otherwise I can’t see the device surviving the warranty period.This is a fun collector’s device and a very interesting way to legally play retro-games. I just wish it cost a little more and had the improved build quality that would have come with that price.

This is one of the best Rero games Machines out there! The display is clear and clean, the sound is good for a handheld, well built with a great retro feel to it . The buttons are nice and clicky, making it feel more responsive and the whole thing feels well made with nostalgia dripping off it.The games are in nice sets and really have a fresh feel to them .looking great and having the added bonus of being able to save games and continue later on games like double dragon etc . Great for casual pick up and put down gaming for when you don’t have the time or energy for modern AAA gaming. And the price is very reasonable. In all well worth every penny . The games also double up as home console games if you purchase the home console edition known as the evercade vs.

Buon rapporto tra prezzo e qualita’
Ottima console per retro gaming, sia la grafica che la qualita’di gioco, rispecchiano I videogiochi di una volta, anche quando la console e’ connessa ad una Smart TV.Non vedo l’ora di comprare la cartuccia Code Masters, ovviamente per giocare al mitico Sensible Soccer.

Ideal para coleccionistas retro de productos fisicos y licenciados
Una consola creada por y para coleccionistas del retro, con cartuchos LICENCIADOS oficialmente, un amplio catalogo ( podria ser mejor) pero hay joyitas y rarezas, la bateria dura 4 horas, buenos materiales, robusta, bonita, la pantalla NO es Ips pero se ve bien ( aunque algunos juegos muy oscuros se ven reguleros) pero por lo general muy bien.Ademas sus juegos seran compatibles con la nueva Evercade Vs que saldra en Noviembre.

bonne console
Je suis fan de retro et en voyant une vidéo d’un youtubeur je me laisse tenté surtout qu’au moment ou je l’ai acheté le premium pack était au même prix que le starter pack. Cette console fait plutôt bien son job avec une bonne prise en main rien à voir avec tout se chinoiseries que l’on peu trouver et qui ne sont pas légal avec x jeux mais plusieurs fois le même et parfois même des clones horrible d’un jeu. Punaise qu’est ce ça fait du bien d’avoir une boîte, avec une cartouche et une petite notice. Les cartouches contiennent plusieurs jeux et ne sont pas très cher 20€ environ, de plus il me parait évident que si le succès de cette console continue d’autres cartouches verrons le jour. seul défait je dirais c’est qu’il manque l’adaptateur secteur usb ainsi que le câble mini hdmi vers hdmi pour la brancher à la télé mais tout cela peu s’acheter à part si on ne les possède pas déjà.

Get someone strong to pull your cartidges the first time you put them in
The first time I use the console, I had a hard time trying to slot in the catridge. It was even worst when I tried to pull the catridge out. It took me around 25 minutes (seriously) just to pull a bit/small gap hole between the slot and cartridge. I then decided to use a sturdy (but not sharp) plastic expired membership card to increase the gap until I manage to pull it out. Do it a few times and it won’t be so hard to pull out anymore (it’s still tight though).Make sure you update your console to the latest version, else your save file won’t save at all (for some games). I tried to save and re-open one of the games, but found the save file empty.Everything else about this console is amazing, and so were the games. I had no issues running the games at all after I’ve updated.
