Evercade Toaplan Arcade 1 - A Great Cart Especially for Shoot-em up fans! Includes TATE Mode Games!

[@smallspacearcade8158]

Definitely one of the strongest carts...in my top three definitely. You really can't go wrong with this one....

[@PjD-pk1fg]

This is the best Evercade cart by far. I love it.

Irem and Toaplan dual releases are amazing for fans of shooters

[@retrojoe85]

As a shooter fan and Toaplan fan, I was blown away when they announced this cart! I was so excited for these two last issues that I purchased two pieces of each Collection...yeah, so now you can call me mad! :D

[@CrazyBurger]

Lol 2 pieces?! You keeping one sealed?

[@retrojoe85]

@Crazy Burger I am not so mad in reality, there's a weird story behing this crazy move! :D When I pre-ordered this from Amazon in Italy we got an issue that we had to order just one unit for each Collection, so I had to buy another unit for my cousin as a Christmas present from another place! After this last order, I discovered that he already bought these for himself from Amazon...that's the story, at the end. Maybe I'll return the ones purchased from Amazon, but the idea of keeping one sealed is not a bad idea even if I'm not into the sealed games' freakness. I own a very small selection of some sealed 2600, Intellivision and PS1 games as display pieces just because I found them at prices who were cheap like s**t: plus, we're talking about only on games who have been really important for me, but generally I hate the idea of getting games only for keeping them sealed...they're meant to be played, the rest are just exceptions! The idea of people who loves to collect exceptions turns me mad...play those games, dumbf***ks! :D

[@CrazyBurger]

@@retrojoe85 lol yep.. I'm not a collector, I'm a player!

[@retrojoe85]

@@CrazyBurger I've discovered a category of collectors that's even worse than sealed games collector, in my opinion: the guys who collects every press and repress of a record in every possible edition and format, but at the end they listen to the album on streaming...when I discovered that, I was totally speechless.

[@danielholmes-nj5nq]

I love this cart, every single game is brilliant.

[@bjornh1527]

Sounds like you had more fun than when you previewed the games! This is a no brainier for me, and I’ve never played any of the games. I’m mostly looking forward to Zero Wing (horizontal scrolling usually suits me better) and Truxton! The puzzle game seems pretty solid as well! And yes, there will be a second Toaplan cart, Blaze confirmed it when this one was unveiled. Probably no part3, because the rights were just bought by another company. I hope we get Truxton2 and Snow Bros 2 on the next one!

[@CrazyBurger]

It's quite possibly helped by playing these games on the EXP and in TATE mode. It makes a difference. I'm still crap at them but you can see clearly that these games are great quality.

[@lylelawrence5224]

I really liked this review & because of this I just ordered the Toaplan Arcade 1 cart! Can't wait til it arrives.

[@CrazyBurger]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy. Zero Wing is a blast!

[@lylelawrence5224]

@@CrazyBurger I'm sure I will! I love shooters!

[@JohnnyProctor9]

I especially enjoy Snow Bros, Zero Wing, Truxton, and Guardian...I'm not a big shmup fan, but I like this cart nearly as much as Jaleco Arcade!

[@scuba1788]

Definitely want the 2 toplin carts, but I just want someone to release Life Force I believe it was called. I remember back in Jr. high school going to the corner store and dumping quarters into that side scrolling shootem up, along the lines of r-type. Love your videos!

[@mazze84]

In honor of CGR: TRUUUUUXTOOON!! Jokes aside, Truxton and Fireshark on one cart sold it for me. Zero Wing is cool aswell. Own em all for Mega Drive, so to have the arcade versions, licencend on a cart is just nuts to me 😅

[@thomasberry4486]

Flying shark is on the cart, not Fireshark.

[@mazze84]

@@thomasberry4486 Right you are. Still

[@simonwilliamson1979]

Looks an excellent cart. Sadly I will have to wait to play it until my remade LE unit arrived next year. 😢

[@CrazyBurger]

😭

[@jasonshiers5771]

Can you imagine if on cartridge 2 we get Batsugun ? It is a brilliant cartridge

[@T200026]

What's the overall sound like on these hand helds ? Is it loud? It sounds a bit tinney , would you say it sounds like the 3Ds ?

[@CrazyBurger]

Its very mixed actually. At tines tinny, at times ok. I suspect its got some issues in that department.

[@colinlock-lv9vv]

come on greats on her flying shark, slap fight/alcon, snow bros and tiger heli

[@FlavourFool]

What's the tatty-scone mode like?

[@CrazyBurger]

Lol yes.. so it's OK. Quick and easy to implement but for longer prolonged periods the ExP is a bit heavy and awkward to hold vertical

[@gavinadams4572]

Why buy these when you can play them free through retroarch?is it just a collectors thing?

[@futureskeletons66669]

Evercade really need to sort out the button mapping and auto-fire for these games. To not have these options from the start is a major oversight on their part. It's 2024. No one wants to have to mash tiny buttons. It really diminishes the enjoyment of playing these games. I've just bought an EXP pretty much exclusively for the packed in Capcom games and the Toaplan collections.

[@CrazyBurger]

Check out the latest firmware update.. sorts most of this out.

[@futureskeletons66669]

@@CrazyBurger Yeah, it's mapped to Y. Not much use for tate mode.

[@CrazyBurger]

@futureskeletons66669 ah yeah that's true.

[@MichaelBogatin]

I like to call it TAINT Mode. More better that way.

[@themadmoderator8465]

worse truxton player ever you do realize the blue one is lightning you just hold down the button and it locks on automatically

[@CrazyBurger]

Thanks. I doubt that will make me Any better.

[@CrazyBurger]

Oh damn that's actually really nice.. I still died seconds later. I honestly didn't know you could do that. This wouldn't be the type of game I'd normally pick up and play.

[@CrazyBurger]

Plus the include manual does not tell you this is possible...
