Onto the included cartridges: The technos collection is the weaker of the two. Double Dragon 2 and Combatribes are the best of the 8. They are decent co-op multiplayer beat-em-ups, but the enemies can be very hard to beat. Minky Monkey is awful, but in a so-bad I can't stop playing sort of way. The Data East collection is great! Burger time and lock n' chase are great classics. Bad dudes and sly spy are fun co-op beat-em-ups, wizard fire and gate of doom have a Gauntlet -like feel, but with better graphics. My 2 favorites though, are Chain Reaction (a tough, but awesome puzzle game) and Tumblepop (an excellent platformer, similar to rainbow islands or bubble bobble).
I also like the cartridge cases. They are similar to Sega Genesis ones but about half the size and look great on the shelf.
As of August 2023, there are about 30 different cartridges available, with each cartridge having between 2-20 games on it, but many more are coming in the future.
Finally, if you run a system update each month (through Wi-Fi), you get a bonus game of the month to try out until the next update. These are fun indie games that will be on future cartridges.
Current cartridges available have collections of games that are arcade, console, recent indie, or older computer (c64 and Amigas).
Finally, here's a tip: when I first turned on my Evercade, I ran into some controller issues and my Wi-Fi not being recognized. I fixed this by first doing a factory reset (in the system menu), then running a system update. After that it worked perfectly.
It really is a great system

Los autores de esta consola son Blaze, quienes, independientemente de su fama anterior, están haciendo un magnífico trabajo con Evercade. En esta plataforma encontrarás recopilaciones de videojuegos con licencia, emulados, pero en muchas ocasiones con el apoyo de los desarrolladores originales, presentados en formato cartucho con caja y manual como los de antes.
Las especificaciones no son gran cosa: un SoC de 4 núcleos a 1.4 GHz, 512 MB de RAM, 4 puertos USB para mandos, conexión HDMI a la TV y micro USB de alimentación. No incluye adaptador de corriente: se recomienda cualquier que suministre 2 A a 5 V, por lo que es factible alimentarla incluso con la propia TV. El diseño de la consola es compacto y los mandos los encuentro personalmente un tanto incómodos con esa forma tan cuadrada, pero funcionales, sobre todo la cruceta. Admite dos cartuchos a la vez y cada cartucho suele contener varios juegos retro o indie. Esta versión VS de sobremesa es totalmente compatible con los cartuchos de la portátil, salvo los títulos de Namco, que solo fueron licenciados para la portátil.
Pero el hardware no es importante, ni siquiera los extras físicos: lo importante son los juegos. La emulación suele ser impecable y, si surge algún problema, las actualizaciones son frecuentes. Blaze busca rescatar clásicos de siempre y combinarlos con juegos más desconocidos, aunque es imposible evitar pensar que algunos títulos son más de relleno que otra cosa. El pack Premium incluye dos títulos de la recién estrenada serie Arcade: el de Technos incluye los primeros títulos de la saga «Double Dragon», «River City Ransom» y «Super Dodge Ball» y el de Data East aporta títulos tan emblemáticos como «Burger Time», «Karate Champ», «Two Crude Dudes», «Magical Drop 2» y «Joe & Mac 2».
