There's never been a better time to get into retro games. retrogames
The IREM Arcade 1 cartridge that comes packaged with this retro console is a fantastic trip down memory lane, and showcases the importance of Blaze's support for physical media. A booklet details each game with controls and facts, as well as screens that tease the stages you'll play. The games list includes the ironic shooter R-Type but the equally important Moon Patrol and the fun Battle Chopper ; other games are: In The Hunt, 10-Yard Fight and Lightning Swords.
This ease of use and speed extends to the new UI, while not too dissimilar to the previous console. The handheld UI features title cards for every game, including original artwork and game descriptions, playing stats and historical insights, and the device now has a side menu for jumping between installed and cartridge games.While cartridges remain Blaze's focus I'd expect downloadable games and demos to be coming in 2023.
Using a mini-HDMI lead you can hook-up the Evercade EXP to a TV or monitor and play on a big screen. As mentioned earlier the cable isn't included, which is irritating. If you do have a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable to hand then you can output at a maximum resolution of 720p, which is fine for games of this era. I would have liked the option to output at 1080p, particularly as Blaze begins releasing cartridges of 32bit era games, but even then 720p is the norm.
The closest 'proper' games console would be a Nintendo Switch Lite for $199 / £199, and considering the Switch can run some excellent retro game collections as well as new releases, it's a good option – though Evercade EXP has a library of unique classic games from the 80s and 90s that don't appear on any other console.
