    Default Evercade by Blaze

    I'm posting this thread in Classic Gaming as while the Evercade by Blaze is new hardware it is (so far) designed to run old games made for NES, SNES, Genesis, and Atari 2600 consoles, retro arcade hardware, and eventually Atari Lynx as well as new homebrews for said same old platforms.

    I think this thing will make more of a profit and make more of a positive impression upon retro gamers than the Intellivision Amico will. Part of that is the design and aesthetic of the games, part of it is the controllers and hardware, and part of it is the price of the console and games.

    Evercade:
    1. Old, proven 2D classic games and "neo retro" indie games with similar aspirations
    2. Portable console with a proven button layout and an included screen plus HDMI output
    3. $80 for the console plus 1 game compilation on cartridge or $100 for the console plus 3 game compilations on cartridge
    4. $20 for each additional game compilation on a cart which includes a case and full-color, printed paper manuals

    Amico:
    1. New, 3D remakes of classic games plus the good old originals from Intellivision, Atari, Imagic, etc.
    2. Odd touch-screen motion controllers that are a mix of Intellivision controller, Wii-mote, and classic iPod
    3. $249 for the console
    4. $3 - $10 for digital game downloads; physical games with RFID chips will be available at retail for $30


    But enough about the Amico (cool though it might eventually be). Let's hear more about the just-about-ready Evercade from someone who has actually spent some time playing games with one:

    What are everyone's thoughts about the Evercade by Blaze? Have you pre-ordered one? Will you be buying one later if it proves itself?
