Evercade EXP

Retro Gamer

Issue 242

GOOD THINGS REALLY DO COME IN THREES

When we first heard news of the Evercade EXP it felt like it was coming too soon.

The Evercade VS had only been on sale for a few months and the original Evercade was only a couple of years old. Did we really need a third machine? The answer is a resounding yes, and while Blaze’s new console is certainly a little rough around the edges, it is a suitably significant upgrade over the original 2020 handheld.

Aside from its new Tate mode, the most obvious difference between the original Evercade handheld and the new EXP is the big gulf in price - £129.99 versus £59.99. So what do you get for this extra cash? Quite a bit as it turns out, including a copy of Irem Arcade 1 (see Irem: Hit Or Miss?). The machine itself looks lovely, with well-designed responsive buttons, another great d-pad and that all-important Tate-mode button which rotates the screen 90 degrees. The packaging is rather neat and it comes with a manual for the included Capcom games, as well as a USB-C charging cable.

It's-a me, Pauline!

My daughter turned 16 this year, which means I've officially entered the stage of parenthood where anything I say is answered with eye-rolling. It also means I've been thinking a lot about when she was small - specifically the time she inadvertently sent me on one of the strangest, most meaningful missions of my life.
