Evercade EXP

I have a Switch, I have a 3DS, I have a GB Advance and an original Gameboy - at some point I have played virtually every handheld gaming device and there has always been one slight niggle with them ... as great as they have been ... just one thing ... comfort and controls (well kind of two things, but one really if you look at it objectively).The D pad or rockers on all these devices has always been ok and the grip and comfort have always been ok - certainly good enough to play with for at least an hour or so, but then fatigue sets in and a bit of cramp. The joycons on the Switch are fairly awful for serious play and an FPS? No chance.Anyway - to the point - the D pad and the buttons on the Evercade XP are an absolute dream, they respond beautifully, they feel ... proper. Like they were meant for proper gaming and the size of the console is just about perfect for comfort.It feels and plays like a proper handheld gaming machine.I never got the original - to be honest I didn't think it would get much support - a licensed system with licensed cartridges that are properly paid for instead of millions of chinese switch clones with sd cards and dodgy ROMs? That won't work.Turns out there are a lot more people interested in gaming the right way and paying for what they play properly - then came the VS and at this point tons of cartridges and I was contemplating it and I was just about to buy one when I saw a video for this.Well it looked great and the video raved about the controls and the great screen and it comes with 18 properly licensed Capcom games AND an irem cartridge (with R-Type!)??Ordered.Not disappointed - not at all. The emulation is absolutely spot on for everything I've played and I will confess I would have liked the screen to be a bit larger ... BUT I have a portable monitor to connect to and it looks absolutely fantastic on that too so the best of both worlds really.I also confess to having one or two of those dodgy ROM chinese boxes and they may have 1000000000's of games and most of the emulation may be pretty good but they're not portable and in all honesty it feels a LOT better paying hard cash for a licensed cartridge. Yeah it's overall more expensive and there's not as much choice (YET ....) but it's a much better experience.I regret not adopting this at the start but I am glad I have now and I'm still considering getting the VS for a bit of multiplayer with my kids.If you're thinking of getting into retro gaming (or getting into it properly away from the dodgy ROMs) then Evercade is absolutely the best way to go. This is a dream, but the original is cheaper if you don't have the budget and as I understand it the controls are almost as good as this one.Go retro - go Evercade.Also there's five unlockable games on the console - you can find the codes online - have fun!

Bought this for my husband for his birthday, he has always loved gaming and still enjoys all the latest consoles . I was a bit worried he wouldn’t enjoy it but needn’t have. He loves it, says it was a blast from the past and brings back lots of memories. He has used it lots and has even let the grandchildren play with it, (12 and 14 ) they think it is great fun, despite spending most of their time on their own modern consoles. The graphics are great and it came complete with lots of games. My husband is happy you can also buy more games and has pre ordered Tomb Raider, one of his all time favourite retro games.

The media could not be loaded. The Evercade EXP is the 2nd handheld and the latest from Blaze Entertainment Evercade line. Boasting an improved screen, wifi, TATE mode, and of course 18 built in Capcom games, including Street FIghter 2 and FInal FIght. In addition this package also ships with the Irem arcade collection which includes the excellent R-Type, and is compatible with all the current Evercade game cartridges. So how does the EXP stack up?The box art is great. With the front illustrating the console itself on a black background and the reverse the contents. The sides are adorned with Capcom art. Inside the box you have the EXP console, a USB C cable, a quick start guide, the manual for the Capcom games and the Irem cartridge. I’ve seen some reviews state that the EXP feels cheap. Far from it. It isn’t as premium as say a Vita but it feels pretty good. The plastics are textured for grip and the buttons all feel good. The shape is a fairly simple rectangle but it feels comfy in the hand. While the game controls are fairly instinctive, the position of the power button and volume control is a bit odd. The power button is on the top next to the cartridge port. It’s quite easy to press while inserting and removing games. The volume is on the base and isn’t easily accessible during gameplay. It’s also worth noting there is no OSD to indicate the volume level. Hopefully this is something that will be addressed in a future firmware update. Also on the base is the USB-C charging port, the 3.5mm headphone socket, and the button to toggle TATE mode. Which I will talk more about later. While the white design is nice and clean I feel some more distinction is needed for some of the buttons.Powering the EXP and after a short wait you are greeted with a splash screen. The screen is nice and clear with good colours and viewing angles. The resolution is only 800x480 but on a screen of this size it remains relatively crisp. One issue is there is some light bleed around the bezel. This appears to be caused by the backlight and the power LED. The menu is nicely laid out and easy to navigate with the games front and centre. Within the settings you can adjust the display, including adding filters, setup the network to enable firmware updates, change the theme and even unlock secrets, including games. The sound isn’t amazing from the tiny speakers, though it’s much improved with headphones. Game emulation appears to be spot on. I have quite a few carts and I’ve tried a fair few games. Aside from a couple of minor crashes with a couple of games it has been nice and stable. Save states are available for each game so you can continue your progress. TATE mode allows for the console to be flipped like a Lynx, and is perfect for a lot of arcade ports. Allowing for more of the screen to be used. Battery life is so so. I’ve found it difficult to pin down. Brightness, volume and of course the game ultimately affect it. While I’ve had quite long play sessions and found that I’ve barely exhausted the battery, Equally I've played for half hour and found the battery level at half.I’ve owned my EXP for just over two months. It isn’t perfect and there is clearly room for improvement, but it absolutely gets the important stuff right. There really isn’t anything that captures the nostalgia and the experience the same way.

Es una gran alternativa para coleccionistas. Algunos son juegos imperdibles

great emulation devices , one of the best Dpad I've seen on a handheld gaming devices and a very bright screen.the exp come with a great selection of arcade and console capcom game and getting additionals games is cheap , you can connect the device on the internet to get patches that improve the quality of the emulation.the exp not only feature games from all sort of retro consoles such as the nes , snes , genesis but also a handful of modern indie game like the Xenocrisis , tanglewood , Donuts Dodo and alwa awakening.you can connect this on a tv using a mini HDMI to HDMI cable but if you want multiplayer you'l have to get the VS home console device.

So I held off on getting the original Evercade handheld but decided after seeing how many carts were out now that I would jump the EXP bandwagon.I've had the unit now for a few days and as a retro mostly game with tons of ways to play all the games you can get for this thing I am really enjoying playing them on here a ton! The screen is great and the colors pop. I love that scanlines work really well along with having a pixel perfect mode. The sound is a little wimpy but I use headphones so no big deal.The buttons feep great and not super mushy like a lot of cheap emu devices. The dpad works good but it's no Sega Saturn or Snes dpad. Wish it was a little more inset in center like the og dpad was on the prior unit. Keeps your finger from sliding off during dragon punches.The Exp comes loaded with a steller line up of Capcom games installed on it and all play super well! I love physical media so hopefully one day Capcom will throw out a cart for it. The little manuals are rad and I love how the carts fit in the console to round out the feel and look of the unit.Pro's-Capcom games are awesome-Buttons and overal build quality feels good-UI is easy to use and looks nice. Lots of features.-150 gets you console with built in games and a cart with more.Con's-Dpad is ok but could be better-light bleed when playing in the dark is a bumber but can be fixed easily with electrical tape.-No way to play two player games like Street Fighter with friends.Overall the thing is fun and I love it despite it's small problems. 8/10 Easy.

Comme d'hab, c'est de l'excellente qualité. Le wifi apporte un vrai plus pour les mises a jours !!! On est plus obligé de passer par un systeme D.Seul bémol la console n'est pas fait pour des jeux 3D, pourtant ils ont sortie Duke Nukem 3D qui est difficilement jouable avec.La collection Evercade est très très bien, je vous le recommande. Vous aurez tout le loisir d'en profiter avec des sauvegardes et des crédits illimités ( sur arcade ) !!!

Als ik betaal voor een nieuw item wil ik ook graag een nieuw item krijgen, dit item had geen blisterverpakking meer, was gebruikt, had een vuil scherm...
