5 Things People Get WRONG about EVERCADE | Evercade Collecting

Here is my follow up video talking a little more about the cartridges. https://youtu.be/LWAWfMZ8uSc

This system ticks all the boxes for me. 1. Physical games w/ nice boxes for collecting 2. Wide selection of games categorized by company 3. Able to afford games that otherwise, are not if bought individually(Due to recent skyrocketing prices of retro games). 4. Updates and fixes via WiFi 5. Just an all around nostalgia trip in a new form factor.

I own physical copies of Splatterhouse 2 & 3 on the Sega Genesis. I'm thrilled that I can play them both in HD on a handheld (or on the television for that matter.) The convenience of the Evercade is obvious. The care and quality put into this handy little console can not be overstated... As a gamer and collector, I have zero issues with the convenience of this affordable little device...

Great points PK. I don't get the hate with the Evercade. At this point the retro gaming community have turned into a bunch of grumpy old folks. Lol what else can you ask for. It's a legit console with cartridges you can buy and actually play rather than have it for display with a digital code attached. The more I watch these Evercade videos the more I consider on purchasing one.

I'm getting into evercade now. I picked up a VS for X-mas for the family this year. I've been watching your videos a bunch. Thanks for your content. For me I wanted these because it's a good way to recapture the arcade feeling I had when I was a kid. At Christmas I usually buy a bunch of board games for the family. This costs about the same and lets me purchase some classics I played when I was a youngster. Looking at some of these indie titles you've mentioned is like adding gravy to a good meal. I've already got five carts for this thing and I haven't even opened the system yet.

Your curated collection comments are spot on. I have a Raspberry pi handheld that i purchased finished, that is already curated, and it STILL has too many games, to the point its overwhelming and I don't touch it. I have a large retro collection but I keep coming back to the Evercade.

PK, very solid video and thoughts. I'm up in age and love the Evercade, plus I have no issue with newer systems and would collect for a modern system if I had one. Collecting is what has been done in any hobby forever now, which is what makes hobbies great, plus you can collect however you want...

Found you via the Discord reviews post. Nice to see more Evercade and VS content. 😁👍 Time to fill in those missing numbers on that Evercade shelf. 😉 The value across the carts does vary but I have not yet brought a cart that I felt was not worth the price of entry....many exceed it.

Great video! Just found the channel. Evercade is my jam and loved this video.

Great review! I just ordered the Founder edition from eBay. I’m particularly interested in playing TH Strikes Back (Gaelco 2 cart). I like how the Evercade gives you access to arcade games that weren’t available in all regions. Also, the handheld is pretty cool. I’ll probably get that at some point. There’s also secret games if you have a certain pair of carts inserted and press certain buttons on the controller. I saw it on the John Hancock review video.

There are also previously unreleased games like Aquaventure. It is much easier to video capture some of these older games like the Atari lynx collections.

Great video! I just got a VS, you have a new sub

Great video I am very curious about the evercade and this was very Informative and encouraging me to buy one People will say "Buy a raspberry pi" about anything I have a pi 3 I only use to get my dreamcast online

The Evercade looks like a fun system. While I don't need another way to play these games, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Holy crap you nailed it lol. I am a PI owner and have an unbelievable gaming set up. The biggest thing for me is I am overwhelmed what games to play. I get so frustrated it is sitting collecting dust. I don't want to play it that way.... I don't want to use a wireless controller either. I want to sit in front of my TV and put in a cart! The biggest complaint I hear of the evercade is that its a niched system. I don't think it is at all! There are wide variety of games for everyone and like you said; some are new. Away with my PI and waiting for my Evercade VS.

Good video man, I just ordered indie heroes

People saying the evercade is useless and "just get a Raspberry Pi" drives me crazy...

Totally agree with you. The Evercade has captured this entire family, and we have 4 Raspberry Pi's, and 1 of those awesome MiSTer FPGA's. Great, they are amazing devices. But they must be maintained, you must have some expertice on how emulation works, you must be willing to tinker and possibly mess things up and have to start over. That might not be everyones cup of tea. I absolutely agree with the statement that this is a curated library of games at a very good price and a way to have a physical copy of the game that can be updated in the future. It's fantastic. Sega Genesis type clamshell cases, color instruction books that dont suck, and an awesome way to take a look at retro and modern games in a new way. The new way being, curation by company and not by system alone. Each cart could have games spanning multiple systems. Having a company collection means we get to see what their development teams did across time and platforms. It's the absolute perfect way for my daughter, son, and wife to discover games on systems they never owned. It doesn't really matter to them, it's just a cool game on a cartridge made by whichever folks. Then they want to get more from those folks. That's the point. I love it, we have the full set of games, pre-ordered all we can that's coming, have 3 portables (one for each of us, son is only 1 haha), and the VS home console which im currently addicted to Drakkhen in the PIKO collection! Great video bro keep em coming!

I have all the consoles, mister, emulators, classic mini's and roms with access to it all, but i own a evercade and see the appeal or owning physical retro games and i like what they are doing.

I like the Evercade. First of all its cheap. There are a lot of great games on it, in cool boxes that are numbered wich makes it great to collect for. I like to get physical cartridges. I got overwhelmed with the Neo Geo mini and Mega Drive mini and ended up putting them back in there boxes to never play them again, eventhough i realy do like the games that are on them. With the Evercade cartridges i just pick a few games that i going to finish and i just leave the games that i am not interested in. For example the Gealco collection, ive played the hell out of Aligator Hunt, Mechanical toy and ive finished Glas and played Thunder Hoops. But i dont care for racing games or Snowboarding games. So ive tried them for 15 minutes and just left them and went on the next cartridge. Some cartridges like the Namco collection 1, intelevision and all Atari cartridges are left in there seal. I dont play them at all. Butt its still nice to have a complete collection. Evercade will probably be the first and last collection il ever complete. Overall its a great product for a guy like me. I am always busy with my family and work. This makes it easy to collect and play games in the little time that i got left. Sorry for my broken English and mis spellings. I am Dutch so i always try to type in English as best as i can without using Google translate or anything.
