This device has become my favorite Hand Held Device Ever!! Cartridge Games with multiple games on them around $20 to $25 rocks too!! Can't play enough of my Evercade EXP! Now they got Super Pockets that go around $60 so if you want to have Arcade Style Games in your hand you can start with a Super Pocket with built in games as well.
Good stuff, I watched your review video of the original handheld in January 2021 and I bought into Blaze Entertainment's great Evercade ecosystem back then, the new EXP looks great and I've got a regular white version on the way...
If you have a Nintendo Switch, you can always get the Genesis Classics collection. It has almost every single 16-bit Treasure game on there (except for Yu-yu hakusho because of licensing).
Yes Flying Shark was the name of Sky Shark in Europe and i think in Japan as well. And we know Battle Chopper as Mr. Heli. Super Great Games. I m still playing sometimes that game in my amstrad cpc. It is a microcomputer of the age of c64. Not very popular there, I believe. I cant wait for my Evercade, only 6 days more....Vamooos
@@sshamon72 A key ring, hologram, poster and the Toaplan Cartridge, and a Case for the machine i think, ahhhh and the color of the handheld is black. If you preorder , like me , the comercial EXP (150€, well i paid 135) you have the machine and the irem cartridge and it is in white. i like more in white anyway, that's why I also asked for the toaplan cartridge, i need to play snow bros straight away jeje aahhh and by the way I asked for the data east one too. Even with everything, I spent less than the limited edition and with one more cartridge. I'm very happy and so excited
@@carrete7581 Okay thanks for the reply. I don't feel so bad going with the white version. I can do without all the other stuff. Now I just have to wait until it gets here.
My worry about this is that the cartridge slot is not covered unless a game is in there. Dust can still get in there, so I don't know. Thanks for the review. I might get it. And then there is downloadable games so how is this any different, than anything else.
I have ordered the normal version, not the limited edition, so i had to buy separately the Toaplan cartridge, i love snow bros jeje. Anyway i prefer the white one. And paying less money, 170 instead of 200, I have also ordered the one from Data east, i love Tumblepop also. Thank very much. A big hug from Spain.
This handheld looks awesome, so much so, that I clicked on the link you put on you page, but decided not to get one as of yet. I went onto the evercade website to see if they have more than one color, they had a limited edition one, that comes in black, which I prefer, but unfortunately they had those stolen. I joined the official Facebook page and asked the question if they plan on having more than one color, and also if they plan on making more of the recently stolen limited edition black one's, haven't gotten a response yet, me personally I would like them to come out with black, silver, and a blue one, I just think it would look better than the plain white one, but if they won't come out with any other color, then I will end up buying the white one
Hopefully the community will figure out a mod for it and allow installing games like the classics that were released. Wonder how much internal storage is on it .
I was thinking to buy this but I am loaded up on handhelds. Have the Switch, Steam Deck and bought a playdate that I am waiting on. With all the Steam Deck emulation features, I am fine with using that to play all the great classics.
I'll get it eventually but am not in any hurry since I have the original and the VS already. Those Capcom games are nice but I already have them in all other sorts of systems anyway. So I am not gonna run to buy on release now. Later when I have plenty of spare cash.
As a older gamer I'm worried about that screen size. It looks pretty small compared to some handheld consoles. I'm worried about being able to see it well.
I get you man I'm 52 and have eyesight issues and don't buy portables. For me all these screens are O.K. if your eyesight is good and/or young. Why didn't this came out in my teens? Lol!😆
Yeah I have a Switch OLED and that screen is okay. That said it is 7 inches (much bigger then evercade). I think I'll stick with my VS for evercade games lol.
An interesting video. I do own the original handheld and games; I thought it would get me playing again but it didn't. I won't be rushing to buy this one.
Is there a HDMI security on it like the PlayStation consoles and handhelds? Do you have the proper splitter that bypasses the security.? I'm not into the micro consoles or handhelds, but, this system looks super slick. Always appreciate your take on these cool pieces of kit!
And now talking about the EXP, im imagining those 5 hidden games from irem or capcom. Dreaming is free. These would be the ghost and goblins, the gun smoke for sure and why not Undercover Cops, woow i cant wait jejeje
I'm originally from Yakima washington. You should try the Powkiddy X51 I have one and I love it it plays Sega NES SNES Capcom some PS1 ect. Almost 6000 game. . Love your channel.
Ooo is there a device that allows N64 gaming that doesn’t involve paying extra? *I’M looking at YOU switch!* Yes the switch immediately disappointed me when the N64 part is a ‘pay extra’ feature.
Tate mode looks really bad and that's unfortunate. It looks like the buttons are too cramped together and basically unusable. If it was good, then you would have like it immediately.
More of the same old games on another piece of plastic when I can play most of these already on Switch or PC emulation. "But cartridges!" No thanks, pass.
Ok….to each there own I guess? There’s no right or wrong answer on how to play these retro games. You play them your way, others play their way. As long as your having fun, shouldn’t matter.
I think it is not a good console. When you can buy similar consoles but on Android and install emulators for different consoles and enjoy all the old games for free.

Did you know…
In The Hunt was made by the same people that Developed Metal Slug, that’s why that game looks so gorgeous!!
When Riggs said "Hot got" I immediately replied "I like my consoles Hot hot but it was not Hot-hot. It was lukewarm" KIDS IN THE HALL!
I'm glad that the body of the device is slightly thicker than the bezel, and not the another way round.
When John starts saying "come on now" you know its good.
Good stuff, I watched your review video of the original handheld in January 2021 and I bought into Blaze Entertainment's great Evercade ecosystem back then, the new EXP looks great and I've got a regular white version on the way...
Geez I wake up to Evercade overload! So many reviews but I clicked here first. Have a good day John!
LOL. Everytime Riggs pushes the wrong button to shoot: take a drink. 🍺
Loved my og evercade and still play it. I play my vs all the time. So i look forward to the exp.
Definitely want that Toaplan set. I wish they'd do a Treasure 16bit collection.
that would rule"!
If you have a Nintendo Switch, you can always get the Genesis Classics collection. It has almost every single 16-bit Treasure game on there (except for Yu-yu hakusho because of licensing).
@@tonberrymasta Yep. Picked it up for $9 on the eShop a week ago.

I have flying shark and Mr heli on my RetroPie great games.
Also tiger heli and twin eagle are great shoot em up games.
Would love to see an irem collection for consoles.
Good video! Can't wait till I get my Evercade EXP this week! Nice!
i can't wait to play this. i did preorder the limited edition so i might be waiting longer but it will be worth it
All North America orders were stolen so if you’re in NA, then you’re waiting in line with me. 😅
There's a limited edition? Damn...I pre-ordered the EXP. What's included with the limited edition?
@@sshamon72 A key ring, hologram, poster and the Toaplan Cartridge, and a Case for the machine i think, ahhhh and the color of the handheld is black.

I forgot to tell you that capcom games are of course included in the white version too. I think it's a good buy, amigo.

Great looking device. Unfortunately, I won't be getting mine until 2023 due to a nefarious act. Thanks for the video, John.
I'm going to blow your mind. The speakers are on the bottom of the device, not the back... Vents are on the back....
mind blown.
i would like to have this capcom games on cartrige

Let us know what your capture card is and we will investigate!
El Gato 60 HDs+. Again, no worries as the VS captures just fine.
"Geez I already got fingerprints on it, c'mon...."
~John Riggs, 2022
Most HDMI splitters you can get will break the HDCP handshake and allow you to run things like this into a capture card
Mine is on its way; I can’t wait!
Dang it man they just emailed me and said my order was affected by the warehouse theft they suffered and I won’t get my preorder until late January 😢

When I saw that it had Moon patrol I was so glad that I had bought mine it should be here about January 5th through the 10th
Looks awesome bro! Good review and cool video John!👉😃👈
Loved the video. You got a great personality😃
I can’t wait lucky you got it early
Hopefully the community will figure out a mod for it and allow installing games like the classics that were released. Wonder how much internal storage is on it .
Interesting ty didn't know about this!
My EXP has been dispatched, not sure when I’ll get it as Royal Mail keep going on strike
Looks cool but personally the screen is a little too small for me. I’ll stick with my VS
VS is great, too.
Can it connect to Retroachievements?
I might have to get this. I got an original evercade (never got around to buying new games though) it was good for the price.
I was thinking to buy this but I am loaded up on handhelds. Have the Switch, Steam Deck and bought a playdate that I am waiting on. With all the Steam Deck emulation features, I am fine with using that to play all the great classics.
I spent so many quarters on commando back in the day I could have saved up enough quarters to pay for an evercade if I avoided the arcade
I'll get it eventually but am not in any hurry since I have the original and the VS already. Those Capcom games are nice but I already have them in all other sorts of systems anyway.
So I am not gonna run to buy on release now.
Later when I have plenty of spare cash.
Cool thing, but not sure why they didn't go with a square screen instead of wide-screen.
As a older gamer I'm worried about that screen size. It looks pretty small compared to some handheld consoles. I'm worried about being able to see it well.
And you’ve seen the switch lite ? 😅
I get you man I'm 52 and have eyesight issues and don't buy portables. For me all these screens are O.K. if your eyesight is good and/or young. Why didn't this came out in my teens? Lol!😆
Yeah I have a Switch OLED and that screen is okay. That said it is 7 inches (much bigger then evercade). I think I'll stick with my VS for evercade games lol.
Riggs, didn't you cover this console in a video not too long ago?
I remember seeing that video and I thought the EVERCADE EXP is really cool.
I unboxed but didn't turn it on.
It looks interesting. But you only have half the buttons in Tate mode... That's a bummer...
Can’t wait to get mine
An interesting video. I do own the original handheld and games; I thought it would get me playing again but it didn't. I won't be rushing to buy this one.
I’ll check it out today is the ninth. Thanks for the video.
Great video

Cool video games collection
Would you be able to do reviews on the best systems for modding? Either NES Classic , SNES Classic, SEGA Classic, PlayStation and so on?
I'm originally from Yakima washington. You should try the Powkiddy X51 I have one and I love it it plays Sega NES SNES Capcom some PS1 ect. Almost 6000 game. . Love your channel.
Wow it has breath of fire on it! And mega man too!
You pronounced it correctly. It’s Tate 縦 (Tah-Tay). It means vertically in Japanese.
I used to think it was called "taint mode".
TATE buttons are too close together & there should be 3 minimum. A larger screen would have been nicer and a bit more colour to the actual device imo.
Great 👍 upgrade, it’s a get, time to get a Evercade XP
you need internet for updates for that thing
Can you do a more in depth video about funkey s rom downloads
Ooo is there a device that allows N64 gaming that doesn’t involve paying extra? *I’M looking at YOU switch!*
Yes the switch immediately disappointed me when the N64 part is a ‘pay extra’ feature.
Need an LJN collection lol I’d love nightmare on elm street
Wonder they are gonna release ps1 games collection for it
😂😂😂 John!!! You’re gaming skills 😅😅😅
Yeah, well... I was too busy talking haha
Blanka gave you the business 😂
Capcom for the win!
Out of all the games on Evercade, notice how there isn't an LJN collection lol.
I’d love one but the games look very average on all the cartridges
“Tate” (tah-tay) means to stand up in Japanese
Jesus did the same review!
Many did.
Yours was better! Dont tell him i said that!😋
I thought while shipment was stolen ?
@SciFiDude79 ohhh ok
👍👍
First GAL E CO, Now TOP LAN???
😂
eh, you know.
@@JohnRiggs despite that, I still enjoy watching your vids. 👍🏻
Tate mode looks really bad and that's unfortunate. It looks like the buttons are too cramped together and basically unusable. If it was good, then you would have like it immediately.
doesn't it have Bluetooth to connect headphones? My days of wired headphones are kinda behind be, even when I'm playing 30 year old games. 😂😂
Tate mode!!! Hah
C'mon, John, you can't just show the games and not tell us their names. What was the one that played like Shinobi?
sorry! It's called Lightning Swords.
@@JohnRiggs Thank you man, you are the GoAT!
Kind of looks like a Nintendo switch
Brand new and has dead pixels on the screen.
does it? I didn't notice. I'll have to look again. It may have been a cookie crumb haha
@@JohnRiggs yes dude .at 00:50 look below the "r" where the display says "no cartridge inserted "
Those speakers are so bad you may as well just get a steam deck because this is garbage.
theyre just going to keep selling us the same games we own over and over huh?
so long as people keep buying them.
Big pass for me
More of the same old games on another piece of plastic when I can play most of these already on Switch or PC emulation. "But cartridges!" No thanks, pass.
This!
Ok….to each there own I guess? There’s no right or wrong answer on how to play these retro games. You play them your way, others play their way. As long as your having fun, shouldn’t matter.
All good, plenty of options out there.
Then this system is not for you!🤔
To each their own, some of us older gamers like collecting physical media rather than downloading everything
I think it is not a good console. When you can buy similar consoles but on Android and install emulators for different consoles and enjoy all the old games for free.
