Sega should totally re release the mega drive. There are so many new games being made for it already, a rabid niche gamer market would eat it up. Those analog consoles did well, no way an official product wouldn’t do well. Can rerelease some of the heavy hitters, re release sonic 3 with the knuckles levels as one cartridge.
Sega or their affiliates are making the Mega Drive and Sega Genesis every gen. There's never a generation where they don't make one. This generation alone there's like five of them: Sega Genesis Mini, Genesis Mini 2, AtGames Genesis HD, AtGames Genesis Portable, and even Hyperkin is making one and multiple Mega Drive and Genesis collections as well. If you're a Genesis/Mega Drive fans you got those experience every gen so there's no worry about that. Now the Saturn on the other hands...
@@VOAN there are some companies paying a license and making something with a cartridge port that emulates roms from cartridges. And the fact all these companies are remaking Mega Drive consoles tells you there is a market for it. I’m saying Sega not some company paying them a license, makes a full hardware that plays old mega drive, an FPGA or just recreate the old hardware from scratch. Those @games stuff was very unappealing. A Saturn is a nice idea, but there aren’t enough homebrew games coming out for it, let alone homebrew games that match the release polish of the games at the time. And to be honest what games do you want for it? All the SNK and CPS games you can buy in compilations, and a lot of unique games for the console are a hard sell for today. Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon or Nights, you need to turn your rose tinted glasses full blast. There is a reason why no one is imitating blocky texture warps, pop ups , low frame rates and slow downs in throw back games. Of all the old consoles, the NES and the mega drive get the most new cartridges made today. And Nintendo isn’t going to make a NES again to cater for the homebrew community and make their games an official Nintendo product. I think Sega could benefit from this from a PR move. And has worked with the homebrew scene before. Sonic Mania is a good example of Sega working with fans doing stuff with their IP.
@@EvandroLBL it’s not the same though. The recent ones don’t come with a cartridge slot, it’s just plug and play consoles with a rom dump inside and some weird exclusive local games. As cool as some of the Brazilian oddities are today, but if your only options for duke 3d was a mega drive, and even that was upper class so the master system version of street fighter 2 was very viable in 1998. That’s pretty sad considering at that time we were playing wipeout, Tekken, VF2 and super Mario 64 in the west. I think a clean solid build console that is just a cartridge slot, with maybe a Sonic Rom built in (like they did with the master systems, different versions have different built in games). But focus more on all the awesomeness developers making cartridges for them. Nintendo should do the same for the Gameboy. The homebrew community is an untapped market. There is no money lost in it even if profits would be low, but just the PR would be amazing!
Nintendo was really leaving money on the table by not making the NES/SNES mini Wi-Fi capable or even giving them a cartridge slot for something like a switch/DS/3DS sized cartridge slot.
Nintendo are only into making profit. God forbid putting wifi on a mini system or a cartridge slot. Then the other portable systems won't sell like the switch. Thats where the bread and butter is nintendo. Greedy company and selfish. They don't care about the fan base!
Why they need to do it when they could easily just go after another emulation maker for easy money? Remember Nintendo is not planning to end emulation, they plan to make money from those whether from them or someone else.
I know it'll never happen, but I believe there is a HUGE market for new NES, SNES, N64 games to play on existing or new hardware. I'm talking all new physical cartridges with all new games. I know I'd buy them up. But alas, it's all digital from here on out, boys.
Nah, they knew exactly what they were doing. They're not about to make "piracy" any easier. They'd rather try to sell you 5 copies of the same game. And there are people out there that go for that.
Evercade's Technos license is expiring next summer, and all VS consoles come with a Technos cart. It's easier to market a new variant when the EXP's Capcom license is expiring as well.
I'd love to see a Cave shooting collection from them if they could obtain the license. Also, it would be really cool to see them produce an arcade stick. Thanks for the update Ron.
Same here,i just pick a few of their cartridges to get on my evercade VS&EXP-Handheld which is a nice option to play unknown arcade games on a flat screen😊
What would be dope is if they'd work with some of the bigger names in the homebrew community to bring newer homebrew Atari, Intellivision, CV, NES etc games to this thing, and since the console has USB ports they could release limited edition controllers that represent the respective consoles, like one with a number pad and side buttons for CV & INTV games. But yes, also totally agree, Sega and Nintendo would probably do well with this concept. They could even sell handheld companions like Evercade does.
I suspect another reason for this may be the Hyper Mega Tech devices that came out. Those seriously undercut the Evercade EXP and played the same games.
Many of us pre-ordered the VS-R back in April and May and have been patiently awaiting it beyond the initial one month delay, and now it appears that it's been delayed beyond the August 30th shipping date. Blaze Entertainment have been radio silent all weekend. Not a good look for those of us new to the Evercade brand.
Tommy Tallarico called, he wants you to know he's glad you liked the Amico concept so much you want Nintendo to do the same... Friggen selling NFC chips that unlock roms, what a terrible terrible idea. That's exactly what Evercade is doing right: The games are actually physical games.
The thing is what the Amico is doing, Nintendo already did it with the e-Reader. Back in 2002 Nintendo released the e-Reader scanner for the GBA where you could scan RFID on the thing to unlock a game for play such as Donkey Kong 3 and Ice Climbers. Tommy copied that concept except the data of the game is not on the card itself but on a server somewhere. Since that server doesn't exist yet or ever, those imaginary games that Tommy and the Amico had are nothing more then useless trinket.
I followed the Amico disaster closely and the Evercade is nothing like the Amico, nothing at all. Evercade is now on its 3rd instalment of hardware with the pocket. The Amico isn’t ever going to get launched, it was a total scam. Please dont compare Evercade to the Amico.
Nintendo is not doing it cause Blaze already were doing it. Maybe once in a blue moon they would release some kind of retro stuff like this but to mass produce it for the fun of it they ain't gonna bother, not when their main product is their focus. Nintendo is known for not following hype and not seeing trends, they break away from those and do their own stuff whether that found them success or hit rock bottom.
I might get one of those handheld Evercades. I almost bought the Capcom Gameboy style one that came out last year, but I prefer the vertical orientation on a handheld.
I don't have either of them. I'm about to get started with collecting for the evercade. I'll get both the console and the handheld. I like the black. I like the fact that the evercade games are physical and come with manuals. Thats a plus to me 😊.
I was a crazy collector who had everything they made…. Then I started getting hdmi audio issues they couldn’t resolve and I dint have with any other box in the house. Worse they just blamed it on my setup. I have my collection away and haven’t bought any more. I had everything up to like card #38 I think. Founder editions of everything etc.
It's targeted for new customers mainly and is cheaper. Evercade also said they are still working with Capcom so not licence related. Mainly reducing costs.
I think its a licensing refresh more than anything, technos arcade was bundled with the VS and Capcom on the EXP both liscences ending so sure why not make another bundle with a newer game. Also im glad the mini hdmi is replaced with a vent cause I heard it can get warm, might pick up the EXP-R as my VS is still going strong. But hey glad newcomers can get into the ecosystem at a cheaper pricr.
They look cool but I am happy with my Black EXP and Atomic VS. I'm also kind of glad it isn't an upgrade because I just barely bought the atomic edition.
Considering Sony and Microsoft are pulling out of the hardware markets, it means Nintendo's only real competition is going to be retro emulation hardware, and the Steamdeck. Overall, Nintendo looks like they'll be ruling the console gaming market, and gaming will be between console and PC, which people are going to buy both Nintendo and PC anyways.
I would love to see them do a collaboration with Sega to release Master System, Genesis/Mega Drive games. Sega was supposed to have a new Nomad made with licensing by Sega but doubt that will ever come out so just license with Evercade and have Master System and Genesis/Mega Drive games.
You're worrying about replacing battery on your handheld console every few years? In the 90s we had to replace them every few weeks and we didn't complain.
I think the rebranding is purely a licensing thing. You mentioned the Capcom games in your video but Technos Arcade 1, which is a pack in cartridge for the VS, was announced to become a legacy cartridge in June.
Evercade wasn't even made available too me until 2024 and I heard about it 5 years ago so too me the vs-r is just a way for me to get the entire package without breaking the bank
Another company that's just leaving money on the table is Sony. Imagine if they came out with a PlayStation 2 HD mini console, where they re-use the memory cards as a way to re-release classic PS1 & PS2 games (maybe even re-releasing some PSP games). This would also be a great way to give attention to AA/indie titles. I can picture the prospect of a Def Jam collection that includes Vendetta and Fight For NY.
I doubt anyone actually own an original PS2 memory cards anymore, while the PS2 library does have an amazing selection of games on there, Sony's own first party lineup for it were mostly garbage.
evercade would be walking a dangerous line for me. love the box art for the games plus collecting a butt ton of cartridges would be fun as hell, but detrimental to my wallet.
It definitely can be dangerous. Thankfully I don't have quite the level of collector's mentality that I ever wanted or expected all the carts, but I still bought a lot of them (looks like 26 on my shelf) in a relatively short time.
Its like the single pack version they sold before , I didnt get it (got the two game and controller bundle) but at least its cheaper and comes with a newer game.
I had the opposite opinion of the original white VS. It's my favorite model aesthetically. (Of course, I say that as someone that WOULD have wanted an Atomic, but missed it. 🤷♂️)
I can't wait for 10 years from now when we have well over 100 evercade carts and whatever future systems they come out with. I love collecting for this system.
I like this color scheme more than the original for sure. This is why I sold my PS5, it had that white shell 😂 ok no I was a broke b*** but I still like retro more anyway. I may get this though because I’ve wanted one
There's a reason Nintendo is not doing it, cause it's not their idea to do it. It's MadLittlePixel's idea. For Nintendo to do it, it must be them who first thought of it.
I thought after the NES and SNES Classics, they should have made a new Gameboy that looked like the GBA SP, or the Gameboy Color but with a back light and rechargable battery. Throw 20-30 games on it, some from each separate Gameboy generation. Include a cartridge slot, so people can play their old games. They could even rerelease carts with games or even game bundles, like a Zelda collection, a Metroid collection, etc. If they made different color shells, I'm sure some crazy fans would have bought multiple variations.
So they can disable your purchased carts playing on new machines due to licencing? No thanks, im not buying a system that can cripple its ability to play my legally bought carts on a whim.
Pretty much defeats the purpose of choosing physical media if they gonna treat it like downloadable content. If your reasoning of buying this console is because your old one broke, and now you can’t play your games because of a software lock out, that just sucks.
You're probably worrying too much, the game datas are on the carts, why would they not work on new revision of hardware? The only way it won't work is if they made a successor and it's not backwards compatible. Regardless if they had the license or not, the game is on physical product, they aren't just going to be yank from the cart.
the one thing i don't get is the nintendo aversion to money. nintendo should release a new version of snes. then they should partner with square/capcom/konami and such to rerelease their best carts. then you start buying up the best demakes and releasing them for a huge markup. i legitimately do not want another an upgraded switch, i want an upgraded snes. a snes 2. snes 2 should upgrade to: -wireless controllers or wired. -wifi and vc store to buy roms online. -mouse/keyboard support -save states -upgraded processor capable of both snes and gba games -modern devkit designed to allow devs to port indie games more easily.
Buying an amiibo then scanning it to have the game would be awesome. And u could just play it on the switch hardware or the next system. Id be all over it.
The Evercade has wi fi for updates and demos but no store, but the whole point of it is to have cartridges again. They could do both eventually like switch who knows. 🤞
For them to have a digital store they need to have a server, to get a server they need to spend money and Blaze at this point doesn't want to spend money to do that yet. They already losing money to all the license they had rights to, remember not a single game collection they sell on their consoles are made by them so it's difficult to get easy money when you aren't making any games of your own, just some hardware and accessories won't help as much.
For some reason that EXP-R reminds me of a Lynx. Sadly, I have not had an interest in Evercade products. I kind of agree about the dummy RFID games, but for the Playstation classic.. Because of how awful the game lineup was.
Well my evercade is on my cabinet anyway and you just gave me the idea to diy pimp it . Eh not rent it out or anything but create a own design . Thanks 😂 🥰🥰
Maybe as a one time anniversary kind of thing. Whatever it is they're not gonna mass produce it. In this age of triple A gaming and cutting edge hardware, Nintendo don't see retro as a main focus. They only see retro as an extra side thing. A little extra that they could give to gamers while they wait for the main products.
Nintendo wants to ditch physical media for sure, so doubt they will ever release a new (old) cart system, but with you, would be cool. Was really hoping we see a Master System collection, but Sega seems to be holding on tight to that and letting all that ip rot on the vine. Evercade did get Capcom and Taito, would love those released in cart form. Maybe since Microsoft bought Activision we can see some of their stuff show? Classic Imagic/Activision from Atari/INTV day? Or even some EA sports titles? Maybe we will see 3do? Gex collection?
You probably mistake Nintendo for Sony and Microsoft, out of those three Nintendo is the only one that doesn't make a digital edition of their console. In fact in the Wii lifespan, the final Wii console Nintendo make was all physical with no digital support at all.
@@VOAN yeah I get that, but find it hard to believe they aren't seeing the other two move in that direction and will do the same. Going digital means the cost of hardware decreases significantly, plus gives them full control of their software forever being the owners of the "store". I hate the idea, but no way a corporation can say no to the benefits of digital.
Nintendo should make a Switch Lite mini. A smaller switch lite for 99.95. Release along side the switch 2. selling the same collections evercade has. Only in the switch card format and the eshop.
Well, having only just gotten into the Evercade system last week by getting the Taito Super Pocket to try out, and totally loving it, I couldn't help but preorder the VS-R which comes with the Tomb Raider cartridge. I mean, I love the system, I love the concept, I love the price, I love the cartridges for the same reasons... but what sealed the deal for me, as did the Taito Super Pocket, is the Hatsune Miku colour scheme, so I can totally fangirl my sh1t!!😍 If Nintendo did this concept, and rereleased SNES games on mini cartridges, they certainly wouldn't pack in various games on one cart, and they CERTAINLY wouldn't sell them for $20!! Now, what would be great is if Blaze could do a deal with Sega, even if their compilation cartridges were more expensive for licencing reasons... now with the Gigacarts, there are so many Saturn games that could have a second chance on the Evercade!! A Magic Knight Rayearth cartridge, I would be first in the queue!! Not to mention maybe collabs with fan translators to release some of those japanese exclusives!! One can dream...
As much as i like the Evercade it's time they put an analogue stick on that thing if they're going to start adding 3d games. As for Nintendo, the Switch is getting too old, they should come out with the Switch 2 along with a Lite and the home console version for those that don't care about the handheld mode, and i want to see a Gameboy Classic, N64 Classic and some new Game and Watches.
I had the same thoughts about the Game and Watch Mario and then Zelda handhelds from Nintendo What if they had put out a NES and SNES classic handheld with all the same titles from the classic console releases? It would not have cost Nintendo much and they could have sold millions of them. Like you said, "Money left on the table." Also, they could have put all the Nintendo Game and Watch titles on one handheld instead of just a few games. They did better with the Zelda handheld, it had more titles. Too bad the Mario one did not have say, the Mario All-Stars with Super Mario World on it too! The hardware and the screen were up to it. Oh well, it seems Nintendo does not know a good thing when someone points it out to them. Cheers!
Ive been saying Sega need to do what your talking about for over a year now.. they could resell all there old games, play indie games and have games on cart that do no need any updates.. hell we played dreamcast games on line with 56k modem and it worked well....
They need to attract more people. With new hardware(at lower price) and upcoming Tomb raider cartridge they can, Lara croft is famous. In november they will announce other hardware. I think it will be another special edition, but we will see.
as i saw this in eversd discord i short has think oh no they will stop supporting the evercade vs with firmware and in future the new card dont will work anymore but it looks liek this evercade vs-r is only a rebrandet version of it, i mean i had get an evercade vs because the og handhelds support was stop after 2 years and it would be a shame when the software support would be stop on the vs too ater 2 years i dont want buy all 2 years a new console revision of the same hardware only because the new games dont work because of artificial obsolescence from Blaze
Wish they had gone with grey and yellow, I really like the atomic, but didn’t care for the color extra graphics. The esp-r makes sense Also will the super pocket refresh with new games or will they stay the same? I get that they need to have differences, I gotta think the super pocket cannibalized exp a bit for the exp. So make some hard differences Budget shoppers get the baked in games, and people who want the full handheld experience now only have to pay 40 more. Then if you want tv console play, you get a VS, probably how it should have been in the first place Hopefully the super pocket doesn’t go away, I like that there’s a budget version I can throw in my car and not worry about. I would like to see maybe a 10 dollar price drop.
Nintendo don't fully get online since it is not a big thing in Japan. A classic Virtual console would be awesome, but Nintendo will never do one. Hell they can't get it right on the Switch.
Nintendo did online every gen since the Famicom so it's not like they don't want to do online. The only thing is they will do online but only for them, they don't want to do online for you. They do it if they wanted it, not if you wanted it.
Not sure why Nintendo needs to buy EverCade or Blaze for that matter, other than their hardware and accessories, nothing of value is at offered here. EverCade had no IPs and no exclusive games of their own that add any value to Nintendo. At this point the same license devs that support EverCade, Nintendo could easily offered them the same deal and still got those games on Switch but Nintendo didn't choose that path yet.
What I wish Nintendo was doing is doing what Microsoft and Sony are doing making next gen consoles not the same graphics performance power as the Wii in 2006 this is why no call of duty WWE games are going on the Switch it’s the same as the Wii Nintendo should of released all their Zelda Mario games they released on the Switch on the Wii and Wii U no reason to ignore those 2 other consoles that’s as powerful as the Switch the difference is the controllers and how the systems look if Nintendo wants call of duty to run on their next Nintendo coke they will have to release a $500 Nintendo console next year $300 isn’t going get them anywhere
Aslong as i can get my hands on a console and 4 conttollers im hoping one day they put out both dnd beatemup arcade games aswell as a capcom cartridge with games like the arcade version of magicsword knights of the round final fight and captian commandoand maby a few streetfigher games street fighter alpha 3 would be my preference
The prices need to be lowered to $5 -$10 a cartridge regardless of what the cartridge is and Id really like to have the evercade having wireless controllers of some kind also PUT THAT HDMI PORT BACK ONTO THE EVERCADE CONSOLE!!!!!!!
Keep the faith bro!!..Evercade has really kept the dream alive!!..Your ideas are awesome!!..Sad state of the industry as a whole!!..Gamers like me(over 50) truly appreciate the retro systems and being able to show grandchildren the fun we used to have gaming!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

They need to make one with analogue sticks since they are moving towards 3D games like Glover.
Heck yeah! And patch 40 Winks for analog controls.
I suspect another reason for this may be the Hyper Mega Tech devices that came out. Those seriously undercut the Evercade EXP and played the same games.

Nintendo could easily make money with nostalgia.

Maybe once in a blue moon they would release some kind of retro stuff like this but to mass produce it for the fun of it they ain't gonna bother, not when their main product is their focus. Nintendo is known for not following hype and not seeing trends, they break away from those and do their own stuff whether that found them success or hit rock bottom.
I might get one of those handheld Evercades. I almost bought the Capcom Gameboy style one that came out last year, but I prefer the vertical orientation on a handheld.
I don't have either of them. I'm about to get started with collecting for the evercade. I'll get both the console and the handheld. I like the black. I like the fact that the evercade games are physical and come with manuals. Thats a plus to me 😊.
Your mom’s vibe is the Easter egg we all need thrown in there every video… somehow
Hopefully they'll release a wireless controller for the Evercade
current bluetooth controllers do work for it!
Now that they announce the giga carts they really need to release a controller with joysticks.
I was a crazy collector who had everything they made….
Then I started getting hdmi audio issues they couldn’t resolve and I dint have with any other box in the house.
Worse they just blamed it on my setup.
I have my collection away and haven’t bought any more. I had everything up to like card #38 I think. Founder editions of everything etc.
It's targeted for new customers mainly and is cheaper. Evercade also said they are still working with Capcom so not licence related. Mainly reducing costs.
What Nintendo should do is release their older Systems with HDMI.
I think its a licensing refresh more than anything, technos arcade was bundled with the VS and Capcom on the EXP both liscences ending so sure why not make another bundle with a newer game. Also im glad the mini hdmi is replaced with a vent cause I heard it can get warm, might pick up the EXP-R as my VS is still going strong. But hey glad newcomers can get into the ecosystem at a cheaper pricr.
I just wish their build quality was better, especially the exp.
They look cool but I am happy with my Black EXP and Atomic VS. I'm also kind of glad it isn't an upgrade because I just barely bought the atomic edition.
Considering Sony and Microsoft are pulling out of the hardware markets, it means Nintendo's only real competition is going to be retro emulation hardware, and the Steamdeck.
Overall, Nintendo looks like they'll be ruling the console gaming market, and gaming will be between console and PC, which people are going to buy both Nintendo and PC anyways.
I would love to see them do a collaboration with Sega to release Master System, Genesis/Mega Drive games. Sega was supposed to have a new Nomad made with licensing by Sega but doubt that will ever come out so just license with Evercade and have Master System and Genesis/Mega Drive games.
I really wish we got a console from Nintendo so I don't have to replace the battery of my console every few years
You're worrying about replacing battery on your handheld console every few years? In the 90s we had to replace them every few weeks and we didn't complain.
@@VOAN I'm talking about the switch taking it apart is a pain even after doing it a few time
@thetoythief8940 is there something wrong with your Switch? I've had mine 7 years, never needed to replace the battery ever.
Once again I'm with you MLP. I keep waiting/hoping/praying that Nintendo or Sega do something similar. I don't know if anything's coming though.
They have some bigger carts for newer retro games coming giga something or the other
For anyone who didn't know what the other currency symbols were in this video those symbols are euro (€) & english pounds (£).
British pounds.
@@ytthrowaway4584 It's the same thing.
I like how this looks.. Ive been putting it off but I think I'll finally get one
It would be nice to have the option to change the LED light in front of the Evercade VS
I think the rebranding is purely a licensing thing. You mentioned the Capcom games in your video but Technos Arcade 1, which is a pack in cartridge for the VS, was announced to become a legacy cartridge in June.
I wish NEOGEO would make a retro console, that would be AWESOME!!!
Evercade wasn't even made available too me until 2024 and I heard about it 5 years ago so too me the vs-r is just a way for me to get the entire package without breaking the bank
Another company that's just leaving money on the table is Sony. Imagine if they came out with a PlayStation 2 HD mini console, where they re-use the memory cards as a way to re-release classic PS1 & PS2 games (maybe even re-releasing some PSP games). This would also be a great way to give attention to AA/indie titles. I can picture the prospect of a Def Jam collection that includes Vendetta and Fight For NY.
Dumb idea
I doubt anyone actually own an original PS2 memory cards anymore, while the PS2 library does have an amazing selection of games on there, Sony's own first party lineup for it were mostly garbage.
evercade would be walking a dangerous line for me. love the box art for the games plus collecting a butt ton of cartridges would be fun as hell, but detrimental to my wallet.
It definitely can be dangerous.
Thankfully I don't have quite the level of collector's mentality that I ever wanted or expected all the carts, but I still bought a lot of them (looks like 26 on my shelf) in a relatively short time.
The VS-R comes with one fewer controller which I guess is a downgrade.
Its like the single pack version they sold before , I didnt get it (got the two game and controller bundle) but at least its cheaper and comes with a newer game.
It's so they could sell it for cheaper.
I had the opposite opinion of the original white VS. It's my favorite model aesthetically. (Of course, I say that as someone that WOULD have wanted an Atomic, but missed it. 🤷♂️)
hope this is good retro console that accepts any usb controllers
the VS does accept most USB controllers. their website has a list of compatible devices, and it's LONG
Might be a stretch, but I think the new colour scheme might be inspired by the Turbo Grafx-16 while the original white and red Ninendo's Famicom.
I can't wait for 10 years from now when we have well over 100 evercade carts and whatever future systems they come out with. I love collecting for this system.
I'm thinking of upgrading my old VS with a can of spray paint.
Damn that looks cool. Never owned anything from Evercade but this looks promising.
I like this color scheme more than the original for sure. This is why I sold my PS5, it had that white shell 😂 ok no I was a broke b*** but I still like retro more anyway. I may get this though because I’ve wanted one
I hope Nintendo watches this video. You checked every box for a good mini system with wifi. Nailed it, and I completely agree. Maybe mini 64 next??
There's a reason Nintendo is not doing it, cause it's not their idea to do it. It's MadLittlePixel's idea. For Nintendo to do it, it must be them who first thought of it.
MLP that was the plan with the Polymega and their online shop. They were going to sell those retro games.
I was hoping for a new color. I'll finally buy one.
I thought after the NES and SNES Classics, they should have made a new Gameboy that looked like the GBA SP, or the Gameboy Color but with a back light and rechargable battery. Throw 20-30 games on it, some from each separate Gameboy generation. Include a cartridge slot, so people can play their old games. They could even rerelease carts with games or even game bundles, like a Zelda collection, a Metroid collection, etc. If they made different color shells, I'm sure some crazy fans would have bought multiple variations.
So they can disable your purchased carts playing on new machines due to licencing? No thanks, im not buying a system that can cripple its ability to play my legally bought carts on a whim.
Pretty much defeats the purpose of choosing physical media if they gonna treat it like downloadable content. If your reasoning of buying this console is because your old one broke, and now you can’t play your games because of a software lock out, that just sucks.
You're probably worrying too much, the game datas are on the carts, why would they not work on new revision of hardware? The only way it won't work is if they made a successor and it's not backwards compatible. Regardless if they had the license or not, the game is on physical product, they aren't just going to be yank from the cart.
Sega and Nintendo should be doing this.
Will the update remove the Capcom games ?
the one thing i don't get is the nintendo aversion to money. nintendo should release a new version of snes. then they should partner with square/capcom/konami and such to rerelease their best carts. then you start buying up the best demakes and releasing them for a huge markup. i legitimately do not want another an upgraded switch, i want an upgraded snes. a snes 2. snes 2 should upgrade to:
-wireless controllers or wired.
-wifi and vc store to buy roms online.
-mouse/keyboard support
-save states
-upgraded processor capable of both snes and gba games
-modern devkit designed to allow devs to port indie games more easily.
Buying an amiibo then scanning it to have the game would be awesome. And u could just play it on the switch hardware or the next system. Id be all over it.
The Evercade has wi fi for updates and demos but no store, but the whole point of it is to have cartridges again. They could do both eventually like switch who knows. 🤞
For them to have a digital store they need to have a server, to get a server they need to spend money and Blaze at this point doesn't want to spend money to do that yet. They already losing money to all the license they had rights to, remember not a single game collection they sell on their consoles are made by them so it's difficult to get easy money when you aren't making any games of your own, just some hardware and accessories won't help as much.
They are cheaper and different colours, expand the customer base.
I love the concept of Evercade's lineup... but the price point is difficult for what's on offer.
price too low for you? hahaha
For some reason that EXP-R reminds me of a Lynx. Sadly, I have not had an interest in Evercade products.
I kind of agree about the dummy RFID games, but for the Playstation classic.. Because of how awful the game lineup was.
I like the look of these I might just get the vs r for my living room I've got the old one in my games room
Well my evercade is on my cabinet anyway and you just gave me the idea to diy pimp it . Eh not rent it out or anything but create a own design . Thanks 😂 🥰🥰
A new wiiu?
I want to get one but I still believe Nintendo is going to release a new NES and SNES. i truly believe this will happen
Maybe as a one time anniversary kind of thing. Whatever it is they're not gonna mass produce it. In this age of triple A gaming and cutting edge hardware, Nintendo don't see retro as a main focus. They only see retro as an extra side thing. A little extra that they could give to gamers while they wait for the main products.
Nintendo wants to ditch physical media for sure, so doubt they will ever release a new (old) cart system, but with you, would be cool. Was really hoping we see a Master System collection, but Sega seems to be holding on tight to that and letting all that ip rot on the vine. Evercade did get Capcom and Taito, would love those released in cart form. Maybe since Microsoft bought Activision we can see some of their stuff show? Classic Imagic/Activision from Atari/INTV day? Or even some EA sports titles? Maybe we will see 3do? Gex collection?
You probably mistake Nintendo for Sony and Microsoft, out of those three Nintendo is the only one that doesn't make a digital edition of their console. In fact in the Wii lifespan, the final Wii console Nintendo make was all physical with no digital support at all.
@@VOAN yeah I get that, but find it hard to believe they aren't seeing the other two move in that direction and will do the same. Going digital means the cost of hardware decreases significantly, plus gives them full control of their software forever being the owners of the "store". I hate the idea, but no way a corporation can say no to the benefits of digital.
Nintendo should make a Switch Lite mini. A smaller switch lite for 99.95. Release along side the switch 2. selling the same collections evercade has. Only in the switch card format and the eshop.
Need SEGA channel brought back only now could have whole history as in multi console libraries. Twould rokk.
If Nintendo started releasing collections the way Sega did, they’d make a fortune.
As beautiful that is I think the buttons is a little bit inaccurate the colors are pretty though
I was thinking that Blackburn the minis first came out. It's why I ended up getting into evercade
Well, having only just gotten into the Evercade system last week by getting the Taito Super Pocket to try out, and totally loving it, I couldn't help but preorder the VS-R which comes with the Tomb Raider cartridge. I mean, I love the system, I love the concept, I love the price, I love the cartridges for the same reasons... but what sealed the deal for me, as did the Taito Super Pocket, is the Hatsune Miku colour scheme, so I can totally fangirl my sh1t!!😍
If Nintendo did this concept, and rereleased SNES games on mini cartridges, they certainly wouldn't pack in various games on one cart, and they CERTAINLY wouldn't sell them for $20!! Now, what would be great is if Blaze could do a deal with Sega, even if their compilation cartridges were more expensive for licencing reasons... now with the Gigacarts, there are so many Saturn games that could have a second chance on the Evercade!! A Magic Knight Rayearth cartridge, I would be first in the queue!! Not to mention maybe collabs with fan translators to release some of those japanese exclusives!!
One can dream...
Neo Geo Gold would have been great but they went extremely hard and extremely high. Barely affordable when the PS4 had just been released
As much as i like the Evercade it's time they put an analogue stick on that thing if they're going to start adding 3d games. As for Nintendo, the Switch is getting too old, they should come out with the Switch 2 along with a Lite and the home console version for those that don't care about the handheld mode, and i want to see a Gameboy Classic, N64 Classic and some new Game and Watches.
I had the same thoughts about the Game and Watch Mario and then Zelda handhelds from Nintendo What if they had put out a NES and SNES classic handheld with all the same titles from the classic console releases? It would not have cost Nintendo much and they could have sold millions of them. Like you said, "Money left on the table." Also, they could have put all the Nintendo Game and Watch titles on one handheld instead of just a few games. They did better with the Zelda handheld, it had more titles. Too bad the Mario one did not have say, the Mario All-Stars with Super Mario World on it too! The hardware and the screen were up to it. Oh well, it seems Nintendo does not know a good thing when someone points it out to them. Cheers!
I hope all the cartridges get a reprint
Ive been saying Sega need to do what your talking about for over a year now.. they could resell all there old games, play indie games and have games on cart that do no need any updates.. hell we played dreamcast games on line with 56k modem and it worked well....
They need to attract more people. With new hardware(at lower price) and upcoming Tomb raider cartridge they can, Lara croft is famous. In november they will announce other hardware. I think it will be another special edition, but we will see.
The only thing that I care about is what the heck is the new Giga Cart format ?
has more storage space so they can fit more and bigger games
I'm late to the game as I just found about it. I preorder the console and it's supposed to come with Tomb Raider 1-3.
as i saw this in eversd discord i short has think oh no they will stop supporting the evercade vs with firmware and in future the new card dont will work anymore but it looks liek this evercade vs-r is only a rebrandet version of it, i mean i had get an evercade vs because the og handhelds support was stop after 2 years and it would be a shame when the software support would be stop on the vs too ater 2 years i dont want buy all 2 years a new console revision of the same hardware only because the new games dont work because of artificial obsolescence from Blaze
neo geo had giga carts for ages
Wish they had gone with grey and yellow, I really like the atomic, but didn’t care for the color extra graphics.
The esp-r makes sense
Also will the super pocket refresh with new games or will they stay the same?
I get that they need to have differences, I gotta think the super pocket cannibalized exp a bit for the exp.
So make some hard differences
Budget shoppers get the baked in games, and people who want the full handheld experience now only have to pay 40 more.
Then if you want tv console play, you get a VS, probably how it should have been in the first place
Hopefully the super pocket doesn’t go away, I like that there’s a budget version I can throw in my car and not worry about.
I would like to see maybe a 10 dollar price drop.
Nintendo don't fully get online since it is not a big thing in Japan. A classic Virtual console would be awesome, but Nintendo will never do one. Hell they can't get it right on the Switch.
Im guessin you mean different than the Virtual Console on the Wii?
Nintendo did online every gen since the Famicom so it's not like they don't want to do online. The only thing is they will do online but only for them, they don't want to do online for you. They do it if they wanted it, not if you wanted it.
Nintendo should buy Evercade for that W
Not sure why Nintendo needs to buy EverCade or Blaze for that matter, other than their hardware and accessories, nothing of value is at offered here. EverCade had no IPs and no exclusive games of their own that add any value to Nintendo. At this point the same license devs that support EverCade, Nintendo could easily offered them the same deal and still got those games on Switch but Nintendo didn't choose that path yet.
@@VOAN cause NIntendo and tha rest about to go with the rest of humanity
how bout that BRO!?!?!
Konami do it on Switch. Contra, castlevania, tmnt collections.
What I wish Nintendo was doing is doing what Microsoft and Sony are doing making next gen consoles not the same graphics performance power as the Wii in 2006 this is why no call of duty WWE games are going on the Switch it’s the same as the Wii Nintendo should of released all their Zelda Mario games they released on the Switch on the Wii and Wii U no reason to ignore those 2 other consoles that’s as powerful as the Switch the difference is the controllers and how the systems look if Nintendo wants call of duty to run on their next Nintendo coke they will have to release a $500 Nintendo console next year $300 isn’t going get them anywhere
Instead of lowering the price, they should start making quality instead.
Aslong as i can get my hands on a console and 4 conttollers im hoping one day they put out both dnd beatemup arcade games aswell as a capcom cartridge with games like the arcade version of magicsword knights of the round final fight and captian commandoand maby a few streetfigher games street fighter alpha 3 would be my preference
R stands for reduced, as in cost reduced
The prices need to be lowered to $5 -$10 a cartridge regardless of what the cartridge is and Id really like to have the evercade having wireless controllers of some kind also PUT THAT HDMI PORT BACK ONTO THE EVERCADE CONSOLE!!!!!!!
Kangaroo grip?!
Keep the faith bro!!..Evercade has really kept the dream alive!!..Your ideas are awesome!!..Sad state of the industry as a whole!!..Gamers like me(over 50) truly appreciate the retro systems and being able to show grandchildren the fun we used to have gaming!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can't wait to get hawkeye on evercade.
Exp-r looks like a switch
