"While we imagine many arcade gaming enthusiasts would prefer the Mega Man or Street Fighter themes and games, the Alpha's preloaded game library is an appetizer. When you buy an Evercade device, you're getting a platform not unlike Switch 1/2, PS5, and Xbox--albeit on a much smaller scale, of course. The Alpha is a cartridge-based device with support for all 75-plus carts across the library's three lineups: console, arcade, and home computer."
"In total, there are over 150 arcade games on the Evercade platform. The console series is much larger--48 cartridges and over 400 games--and the home computer lineup is the newest of the three with 10 cartridges and over 100 games. Most Evercade carts retail for $30 these days and are themed around specific retro publishers, platforms, and franchises. Roughly 20% of the library focuses on contemporary indie games with retro-inspired visuals and gameplay."
Amazon is taking preorders for the Evercade Alpha Taito Bartop Arcade at $260 with a November 12 launch. The Taito edition ships preloaded with ten titles: Bubble Bobble, Puzzle Bobble, Space Invaders, Cadash, Rastan, Elevator Action, The FairyLand Story, Growl, The Legend of Kage, and The New Zealand Story. Over a dozen additional digital games can be unlocked via the Evercade OS secret menu. The Alpha is a cartridge-based countertop cabinet supporting all 75-plus Evercade carts across console, arcade, and home-computer lineups. The platform includes over 150 arcade games, 48 console cartridges (400+ games), and 10 home-computer cartridges (100+ games); most carts retail around $30 and about 20% of the library focuses on contemporary indie titles.
