[@RandellVandergriff]

They said they will be secret games at the official Facebook club. And that the secret codes also will effect the secret games. You get the games by plugging 2 specific carts at in the same time.

[@bladeblade2435]

Cheaper than amico and physical media so if anything goes on in time it's still usable amico will be a door holder might check this one out 👍

[@secretysecret1551]

This wasn't even on my radar. I heard about it, but didn't seem that great. Then I watched your videos and literally bought everything except for the handheld.

[@vejit]

I have a handheld and all cartridges to date. Pre-ordered founders edition and can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm really having a good fun playing and collecting games on the Evercade.

[@stephenmay7438]

I love how simple controller mapping seems to be. Looks like they really took the button mapping criticisms the handheld received to heart.

[@markw2097]

I've brought into this in a big way, I've collected all they have to offer so far, just love it. It's a future classic in my opinion it's offering a tangible snapshot of retro gaming that in years to come can be revisited without any risk of servers being offline or buggy compatibility issues. It just makes sense.

[@-someone-.]

2:48 The voice of Namco... No! We want more money🤣 I like how it immediately went to angry man voice🤣

[@trzarector]

Dude you got me sold on these! I thought it looked corny before but I have to say I’m impressed. To be able to get all of those old arcade games from those old school publishers is amazing. I think I’ll get my preorder in asap!

[@PabstOban]

Who needs an Amico… this thing is dope! Real cartridges, real couch co-op and you can get it right now!

[@StoneCry]

Gotta say, I'm seriously considering one of these. It looks a whole hell of a lot better than the Amico for my money. I hope they do a cart or two of RPG collections.

[@bloodeagle6458]

Imagine they get the konami arcade lisence dream come true

[@ColeslawVariant]

The one cart has Dragon View, sequel to Drakkhen.

[@billford171]

@@bloodeagle6458 forgot about Konami, great call. Hoping for Sega, Taito, and Capcom. Heck, even a Disney port would work on this thing.

[@AG-bp3ll]

It seems better than Amico, but where is my coin in the cartridge box? How can I enjoy a game without a coin and motion card?

[@StoneCry]

@@bloodeagle6458 Would love a Konami arcade cart...especially if it had Time Pilot and Time Pilot '84...two of my favorite arcade games from back in the day. A Williams cart with Defender and Stargate would be awesome as well.

[@thezeppo1138]

I can't express how much I appreciate this channel. Great video, this looks awesome, definitely jumping on it.

[@PabstOban]

For legit retro gaming, Evercade is the best game in town. Solid outfit.

[@crimsoncross3692]

I really like your review, you bring a fun presentation to it and you not seeing any major issues with it out of the gate is a good thing...

[@TheDemonking82]

I just want to know if we will ever get some SNK collections, some early capcom and Konami, those would make this a must buy for me.

[@markpugh6808]

I am tempted by it

[@MySplatterhouse]

I'm uber excited for this console, the potential for this blowing up is there especially if they cater to indies real hard. Imagine if these upcoming "metroid-vania's" release for it like Gestalt, Bushiden, The Vagrant, The Last Faith, definitely an item to keep an eye on!!! 👍🏿👍🏿

[@DLCOrganization]

Not just that, but also making it more readily available in the U.S. This one is bound to be a sure shot when that happens.

[@Mchenrygames]

I think its a pretty neat idea. It is like going back in time, you can get a brand new console and buy cartridges, just like back in the day.

[@SuaveCerealKiller]

Yup, someone finally got it right.

[@bstar777777]

This thing isn't for me, but huge respect for the polish. I would definitely recommend this over just about every other option out there for casual retro gaming.

[@ThatGamingGuyfromthe70s]

Great review. Im really looking forward to my founders edition coming next month. The Gaelco cart won't be getting removed from the system, the games on that are quality, Biomechanical Toy being a favourite, in many cases these games are unreleased anywhere else. Next year we get the Renovation collection which is going to be unbelievable value given the high cost of the originals. I love what Evercade are doing and this is going to become a mainstay in my living room.

[@graemejohnson6489]

Am really excited for this. I was gutted when they delayed the founders edition but now is going to be my christmas prezzie. Nice video as always...

[@heisenbergwhite00]

Funny how even the evercade is more consumer friendly than Nintendo

[@MVLGAMING]

It was great to see how easy the remapping was! I previously ordered the Founders edition, and can't wait to unbox that! Although I also do hope they get the Namco carts sorted out!

[@rozzierattray4914]

Can't wait for my Founders Edition. Looks great. Larger than I thought it might be.

[@TheExileWolf]

I bought the founders edition and I'm looking forward to plugging it in and gaming on it. It's good to see a review and get a look at the console.

[@billford171]

Pre-ordered founders edition, pretty excited for this thing. If they decide to make a "pro" version of the handheld would buy another one for sure. Fingers crossed they start making deals with Sega, Taito, Capcom, etc. I think the system has proven itself enough for these companies to know their IP will be safe and done right.

[@madyak6669]

There's a couple of cheat codes in this month's Retro gamer magazine in the UK along with a big VS feature

[@Madlittlepixel]

My shops that carry Retro Gamer havent gotten the newest issue yet, been checking.

[@madyak6669]

@@Madlittlepixel Im in the UK. Just came out here so dont know how long the delay to get in the us

[@Nintality]

If this get's Konami and Capcom licensed games that would be 👌🏼

[@johnnybravo1144]

Looks like you unlocked a game with both Lynx carts in the VS…26 games appeared but the carts only have 25 combined.

[@johnnybravo1144]

Raid on Tri City is the new game at 11:15 mark.

[@fabulousasia9848]

I am stuck between this or the hand-held version. I love the idea behind this system and the handheld I just have so many retro handhelds already. Thanks for another great review!

[@ianhobbies]

Get the VS first.. if you then enjoy it, get the handheld and the fun continues wherever you go!.. by thw way, there will be a special edition handhelds coming out in December.. you might want to wait for that as well. Cheers!

[@fabulousasia9848]

@@ianhobbies Thanks! The special edition sounds really interesting!! I can’t wait to here more about it.

[@horroRomantic444]

For non major console manufacturer of a mini console, this looks pretty solid and well put together from the packaging to the actual product.

[@chibisf4]

I'm not a big fan of the products but you have to acknowledge that they are very professional and get their products on the road.

[@kjhoskins]

Thanks for the video. I look forward to receiving mine. The handheld has been great and now this looks like the perfect companion. Blaze seems to be doing everything right.

[@JeremyLeePotocki]

I was thinking of getting a Evercade when I saw the Intellivison Collection. However I would like them to release more of volumes of that including the AD&D titles the plug & plays had them with altered titles due to licenses so that should not be a issue. A Colecovision/Adam Collection (especially the Adam release of Dragon's Lair) as well as a Epyx Collection (minus the sports title) would be nice as well.

[@billford171]

SAME!!!! When they announced Intellivision is when I bit the bullet and purchased the handheld. Really do like it, have pretty much all the games to date. I posted on twitter at one point "looking forward to collection 2 of Intellivision" and Tallirico liked it and commented, so maybe we will actually see it?

[@PaulXMann]

Had to preorder a standard VS and a Founders Ed... now I can't decide if I should open both, or keep the Founders Ed. sealed and just play the standard one!?!

[@martinrc80]

Even as someone who doesn't buy into these, I always enjoy watching you test them out and talk about them.

[@tomallica420]

I definitely think I'm gonna get one of these

[@gustavobarandas2012]

Man that looks awesome! I love the UI design looks sick!

[@SynthStreet]

Nice! Was waiting for Madlittlepixel review. 😁👏

[@XV250]

I have the premium bundle with a couple of extra carts. I really dig this system!

[@seikb-9228]

Hey MLP, do the arcade games keep the high scores after quitting a game or powering off the console?

[@Jartravian]

You can use save states to keep your high scores.

[@DanHemsath]

Looking forward to this, and the Renovation collection. BTW, awesome Mega Man 2 Tiger handheld there. I had one as a kid. Camp counselor stole it. Still salty about it.

[@plisskensghost2951]

Looks like a brilliant device to just have there under your TV if you want a quick blast on something.

[@calebblasingame2921]

I’m going off to college soon and I struggle a lot with ADHD and procrastination, so I plan on getting one of these to take with me so I can still play games in my free time but I don’t have the distraction of my Xbox. Loved the handheld too

[@ringfitmaster3079]

This thing is so cool. Twice the cartridges twice the fun. Much better than what the Intellivision Amico is offering. I wish this is what the Amico became.

[@davetheimpaler204]

@@inputfunny The only one I know of is Earthworm Jim 4 but I doubt it will even be released for the Amico at this point. That was the only thing that interested me about the Amico from the beginning.

[@davetheimpaler204]

@@inputfunny Yeah, it's the only notable one though. And coupled with the fact the gameplay will be dumbed down (it's literally one of their mandates) and they have to sell it for under $10, there's no way it will live up to expectations even if it's actually released on Amico.

[@davetheimpaler204]

@@inputfunny Interesting. Tommy needs to backpedal on a LOT of things if he wants the Amico to be even remotely successful. Most of all, he needs to backpedal the price of the console down to around $100.

Thanks for the video; the system looks great. I'm glad 360 controllers are supported, as I have a Hori RAP EX I was hoping to use with the VS.

[@Oribaa90]

Thank you for reminding me. I also own a Hori RAP VX SA. This has to be great. Now I need to buy it. I completely forgot that I own this great arcade stick

[@soultheory6747]

5 thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍🌟for a great review & more so for you're unbiased support of the Evercade concept 🙏I just adore my evercade handheld but was perhaps sitting on the fence regarding purchasing the console version but you sold me! Another point about the Evercade I love is the quality of the products from packaging to build quality for its price point it's top notch! Can't wait to get my hands on one of those controllers they look lush🥰..🙏🇬🇧👍

[@unforgivencaleb528]

Just ordered mine today. Looking forward to some more retro goodness to complement my Switch and Steam Deck. And I heard that SOME 8BitDo controllers will work, but only when wired. They won't work wirelessly.

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

I just got one on Amazon for $90, It’s the one with 2 carts and 2 controller’s. It’s a great little console!

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

*UPDATE: As of today the console completely failed on me. First the wifi all of a sudden stopped working and absolutely nothing would get it to detect any network whatsoever. Then about 2 hours later the console completely froze to a black screen and the power button wouldn’t do anything. Had to unplug it from the power source and even after resetting the console from the reset button on back it wouldn’t power back on again. Returning it back to Amazon and probably won’t exchange for a replacement because this experience left a bad taste in my mouth…

[@tonberrymasta]

Thanks for the video, I am looking forward to playing on the VS (especially with the Renovation cart that is coming up). I also have the handheld, which isn't bad, but would rather play on a large monitor.

[@kissthistwice5]

Great video. Do you know if the Sega retro bit controller works for it? Be cool to see you try a bunch of different controllers

[@DOOM1986GamingChannel]

If they can get Sega on this that would be awesome

[@MrMegaManFan]

Ron I'm slightly envious given that they pushed back the shipping date for everyone.

[@Metaphor9696]

I'd like to see those Retro-Bit 6-button Sega Genesis controller working on this

It's possible, they already work on PC's, PS3 and Android devices. They even work with Emuelec.

[@ritualdelo]

Fantastic review now I can’t wait to get my founders edition … Thanks homie ur my guy …

[@ronm6585]

Looks good. Thanks.

[@esmith13]

Can you tell us if you play Battle Lane Vol. 5, Mania Challenge or Minky Monkey from the Technos Arcade cart if the scanlines correctly orient to vertical instead of horizontal? Those 3 games are in TATE mode, so the original arcade machines would have had a CRT rotated 90 degrees and proper emulation would show the scanline feature vertically oriented with those games. for that matter, what about TATE games from the older carts? Do they show scanlines vertically?

[@ridingnerdy6406]

I'd really like to see new retro style games released on the Evercade.

[@ColeslawVariant]

I wasn't impressed with the handheld, but that was due to the game selection rather than it being a bad product. Kind of wished I had waited to sell it now.

[@chrismadagames]

What's the small screen he's using in this video?

[@JGRICH61]

Did you change the Gate on your arcade stick?

[@jfroco]

I was waiting for this review.. Thank you! It seems great (I ordered the Founder Edition) and so far my only negative point is the bilinear filtering it uses: It would be great to have a filter to switch it on/off.

One of my biggest questions is Can you update the handheld via the console once you plug in a usb? I only have Apple laptops at home and the support for update runs with windows. So I can’t do any handheld updates. Preordered the founders edition, legit excited. 🤗

Have you had any problem with the 8bitdo Arcade Stick on the Evercade VS? My 8bitdo arcade stick works fine in the main menu, but as soon as I start a game, the game thinks I'm holding the stick up and to the left constantly, it even happens on the in-game-evercade menu where you can save/load and such. I just can't play any game with it. The 8bitdo Arcade Stick works just fine with the Nintendo Switch and on my PC as well, so I'm not sure what the problem is... :\ Other than that I just love the console, and all the game carts! I got my Evercade VS in part because of your review! :)

Please please can you try the new Atari VCS Classic controller on this?

Can you check for us if it works / gets recognized?

[@imstarryeyed]

@Madlittlepixel Do you know if you can map the analog stick to the system and more importantly can you tell if it is really using analog or just basic up down left right? I ask this as some games like centipede, millipede were trackball games and used an analog controller. If this system can map to real analog then it would be easy for us to either hack a 360 analog stick to work with a trackball or spinner. Thank you!

[@graemenicol6377]

Shame I won't be getting mine till 17th December pre ordered it through Argo's a few months ago.

[@ctg8563]

What's the game at 12:20?

[@andreaslorenz1452]

Anybody knows the game?

[@Frank_D]

Definitely something I'm interested in picking up eventually. I definitely want to try out one of my Retro-Bit Sega Genesis controllers, since it only seems right to play the games that were originally released on the Genesis with that controller. My one gripe is that they don't include power bricks anymore. Yeah I get that you can connect this to a TV and/or that the bricks are superfluous these days, but if you get the wrong voltage you might not be giving it enough power, so it won't run, or you run the risk of frying it if there's too much power going into it. In a way it's kind of funny because this will end up being something like the sixth copy of Bad Dudes that I've picked up in the last few years because I bought it on the Switch, and I got the little MyArcade mini cab for an action figure display, and then it came packed in a few of the AtGames products I've picked up lately, and I'm sure they've snuck it onto other devices I've bought lately. It's literally everywhere these days.

I also really love the NES callback with the door and the front loading carts.
