Check out the announcement trailer for a look at the Evercade EXP, a new handheld retro gaming system from Evercade, featuring a high resolution IPS screen, built-in Wi-Fi, and a TATE mode for use with vertical-orientation games. The Evercade EXP launches in winter 2022.
The console will come with IREM Arcade 1 cartridge collection included in the box, and more bonus content will be available.

To me the most important hardware is the battery. Doesn’t matter how powerful the chips are.
There’s no way you’re getting that 40CU 16-core APU in a handheld. That’s too hot and power hungry for that. The highest end APU they’re suggesting is going to end up in gaming laptops that can cool a 100W chip.
I think these articles get things a little out of perspective, Steam Deck has sold around 3 million and Switch has sold 140 million. But if you are browsing certain parts internet you'd think the Steam Deck had sold over 100 million. If articles are going to continue to circulate like this and continue to put the Steam Deck in the same arena then I'm comfortable calling the device a flop.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Love the evercade. So stoked there is irem and toaplan carts coming.
Should've added a thumbstick. Some retro games play so much better with it
Problem is, this isn't releasing until Winter 2022/2023 and retro emulation handhelds are evolving at such a rapid rate this is already obsolete, not to mention how far the gap will be in half a year. You can get a much stronger, more versatile, and more customizable device for much cheaper. $150 is $50 less than a Switch (Lite).
The carts are a nice touch and the design looks good, but it's a tough sell. Had this come out years prior it might have worked well but now it's a losing battle.
