DATE: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19TH, 2024
LETCHWORTH, UK: Blaze Entertainment has today announced two new arcade cartridge collections for Evercade to coincide with the launch of the new Evercade Alpha bartop arcade hardware.
These two new collections see two returning license partners to Evercade, bringing more arcade greats and some much-requested titles to the Evercade family, with full compatibility across all Evercade and Super Pocket devices.
These arcade cartridges will launch at the same time as the Evercade Alpha bartop arcade systems, meaning that new Evercade fans are able to jump straight into expanding their game selection with brand new cartridges, and existing fans can build on the already impressive line up of over 50 cartridges and 500+ games.
Toaplan Arcade 3 brings even more great arcade action to Evercade with 7 awesome titles from the more recent history of the legendary Japanese developer. Not only does this collection include two much-requested games from fans with Batsugun and Out Zone, but also Batsugun Special Version, Truxton II, and more great cuts from the vaults of Toaplan.
Data East Arcade 2 sees one of Evercade’s original license partners return to the system. The large selection of genres available from Data East makes it a perfect starter for new fans and a great dive into cult arcade classics for existing fans with early releases like Shoot Out and Express Raider alongside Super BurgerTime, B-Wings, Midnight Resistance and the fan favourite Joe & Mac Returns. There are 12 games in total on this collection.
Both collections are due for release in November 2024 at the same time as the new Evercade Alpha bartop arcade system. They are available to pre-order from September 26th, 2024 from all Evercade retailers. These collections are in the purple spine colour to denote they are arcade collections and are numbered cartridges 11 and 12.

Notes
Evercade was first released in 2020 as a handheld device with ten gaming cartridges of classic console licenses. Since then it has grown to two other hardware devices (listed below) and now has over 50 physical cartridge collections and over 500 games across the entire ecosystem.
Evercade devices play games via emulation on bespoke cartridges. These physical releases play the games contained and come in a physical case with a full-colour manual, custom written by Blaze with controls, hints and tips, and interesting facts about the titles and developers.
Evercade emulates a wide range of systems (including 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit consoles, handhelds, THEC64, and Amiga home computers, and arcade games), as well as natively run games, and also highlights modern retro games created by indie developers, with support for five decades of gaming.
Evercade cartridges have three distinct colour schemes to highlight their content. Red-coloured boxes feature home console collections from multiple systems across five decades of gaming. Purple indicates Arcade game collections and Blue is for home computer collections.
Evercade Alpha is a new bartop-sized arcade machine from Evercade. With officially licensed designs and built-in games from legendary publisher Capcom, The Evercade Alpha Mega Man Arcade and Evercade Alpha Street Fighter Arcade brings full Evercade cartridge compatibility to the arcade form factor for the first time. These products are available to pre-order now ahead of release in November 2024.
The Evercade EXP-R is the newest handheld gaming system from Evercade. To be released in July 2024, this console allows you to play your carts on the go, features a TATE mode to play vertical orientation arcade games at their optimum screen size, and comes bundled with Tomb Raider Collection 1. This product is replacing the now-discontinued Evercade EXP.
The Evercade VS-R home console is the best way to play Evercade cartridge on your TV. Also to be released in July 2024, the console features a dual cartridge slot and support for up to four USB controllers for local multiplayer. The console also comes bundled with the Tomb Raider Collection 1 cartridge. This product is replacing the now-discontinued Evercade VS.
In 2023, Blaze Entertainment launched its new brand HyperMegaTech! to provide more retro gaming products aimed at a more casual market. The first two products, the Super Pockets also come with Evercade cartridge compatibility.
