Evercade has been going great guns recently. Not only did it release one of our favourite affordable gaming handhelds at the end of last year, theHyperMegaTech Super Pocket, and recently reveal updated models of itsEvercade EXP and VS consoles, it has announced that 1 million retro game cartridges have been sold since the brand launched four years ago.
Now it is taking the concept even further, with a bartop arcade machine that’s compatible with existing and future Evercade cartridges.
Comprised of two separate models – one featuring six classicStreet Fightergames preinstalled, the other coming withMega Manand a trio of other Capcom favourites – the Evercade Alpha measures 410 x 244 x 316mm so can easily sit on a desk or tabletop.
As well as the included games, it sports dual Evercade cartridge slots, allowing for two separate cartridge collections to be inserted simultaneously. That can expand the available games list greatly. And considering there are now more than 50 cartridges available, featuring more than 500 games in total, that can give users a massive library of retro titles to play.
Each unit houses an 8-inch high-res IPS display with a 4:3 aspect ratio – similar to many coin-ops from yesteryear. They also provide “competition-grade” arcade controls and a light-up marquee bar at the top with swappable artwork.
Users can also add USB Evercade or third-party controllers for local multiplayer gaming, and there is built-in Wi-Fi for over-the-air updates and online features.
Stereo speakers and a headphone jack are on board too.
