Ah yes, the Evercade, the 2nd hottest handheld existing today (or third if we're counting the PlayStation Vita which Sony doesn't). As of October 2021, this handheld device has 20 carts available. The most advanced console this handheld has emulated is the PS1 and the most advanced handheld emulated is the GBA. On its carts are a number of NES and SNES games as well as some Sega Genesis games (various carts have also supported the Atari 2600, the 7800, the Lynx). For Genesis/Mega Drive games, it uses a custom version of BlastEm, which is considered a top notch Genesis emulator.
I definitely have used this to relive playing a few classic NES games like River City Ransom (which is also available on the Switch via NSO and the Kunio-kun & Double Dragon collection) and discover games that I never played on NES or SNES. It even has a brand new Mappy Kids localization on the Namco Museum Collection 1 (and playing NES Galaga on the go is fun). It's fun seeing what NSO stalwarts City Connection, Piko Interactive and Data East have not yet put on NSO. I'm definitely excited for the announced Renovation Collection that includes the Genesis versions of Valis and Valis III. (Valis IV for SNES is available on NSO, check it out).
Anyway, let's discuss the Evercade and have fun replaying games we love or discovering new retro games for the first time.
