    In a world, where it is almost impossible to legally play classic games without either using Nintendo's subscription service or paying ridiculous prices on Ebay, the Evercade managed to identify interesting market niche. And just like the audiophiles are currently rediscovering casette tapes and vinyl records, I think that this niche market for classic cartridge-based system can also survive within the small, yet dedicated fanbase.

    I have the EXP, the Hyper Mega Tech one, and the VS. While initially I really liked the EXP, it cuts off the circulation in my hands or pinches a nerve or something, so my thumbs and eventually hands fall asleep. So I feel like that purchase was wasted.

    On the topic of couch co-op... if they enabled the USB C port for expansion, you could tehn use a hub and a couple of USB controllers/sticks and play couch co-op on a TV via the HDMI out. Especially for the Capcom games that are for multiple players. I believe this is something they are looking into at the moment, along with button remapping. So in a possible firmware update we will be able to use the EXP as a 'console' of sorts like the VS.

Buttons I'm fine with, the important ones are placed well. Tate mode works pretty well, but it wasn't a huge draw for me.

    I bought the founders black one, not really used it much as I prefer the original handheld with the VS as a combo. They need to put the classic Evercade theme on the EXP as I see most of us have been forced to use the (UK) Megadrive cover look, the other themes on EXP are too bright meaning the game artwork and text doesn't standout enough. The classic blue to pink fade with that red bar theme is cool, bring it back! 😉

    Yeah you nailed it Pete. First I'm not a hand held guy so it takes a lot to convince me to go this path especially at a price that's only a few bucks cheaper than a Switch Lite. The pack in makes it incredibly appealing (and as a VS owner who got the stinky Technos 1 as the only pack in I'm jealous) but it doesn't offer anything to put it over the top and the lack of online co op (especially considering many of the Capcom built in games) is a big negative. I'll stick with the VS. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the new carts and can't wait for the next batch and some new announcements. I'm really hoping the Team 17 collection is as good as I want it to be.

    The EXP is too expensive, too divergent from the original idea, too much like mobile gaming complete with WiFi etc and overall just a bit too much. The unit doesn't look as good as the original either as far as I'm concerned, despite the assumed upgrade in screen.
    The original red and white handheld is presumably now discontinued and leftover stock is hard to find. Selling only through Funstock is a headache also.
    The VS was hardly out, then this.
    Fatigue will set in amongst gamers soon enough.
    May be worth getting some of those cart packs though just in case.

    If you need strictly plug and play cause you're not computer literate and don't know anyone else into games, then it's not so plug and play when your console needs an update just to play the newer games. There's no joystick still. There are few classic games. Only the screen is better and it's not that big.There was a promise of indie games and after 2 plus years there are only about 2 or 3 indie carts. A lot of the games have similar graphics and there are 8 bit games with better graphics IMHO. The only good thing is you get several games on a cartridge and lastly, the games are really more often miss than hit. I'm sorry if I offended any one, but I put a lot of money into the original system and have 13 cartridges and only about 5 or 6 that I am mildly interested in playing. One good thing is being able it to connect it to my tv, but even then I have to lay it flat on the table, otherwise the slightest movement disconnects and resets the game. I really wanted to like this but all those drawbacks make it hard to. I realize that I am in the minority needing plug and play but I still hope blaze will consider changes.
