From Blaze Entertainment:
Blaze Entertainment is proud to announce the Evercade Nexus, the newest retro gaming handheld console from Evercade.
Evercade continues to champion physical cartridges as the medium to relive the classic gaming experience, bringing more top-quality names to the ever-growing ecosystem with Rare’s Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie included.
The latest iteration of the Evercade gaming experience draws on the feedback of Evercade fans and the demands of gaming in the current age, while also keeping the simplicity and ease of use that Evercade provides, and the continuing commitment to the nostalgia and experience of using and collecting physical cartridge media.
The Evercade Nexus is built to play with an ultra-bright 5.89” screen, the biggest ever screen on an Evercade, with a peak brightness of over 500nits. The new, larger design allows for dual analogue sticks, giving Evercade players the full experience of 64 and 32-bit games, and helping recreate the feel of arcade-style gaming in your hands. All of this in a new larger form factor that is still light and comfortable to use and travel with, and a sleek new look with a black colour scheme and a customizable RGB light-up logo.
At the center of this new console is the heart of Evercade - the physical cartridge slot. Giving best-in-class emulation from over five decades of gaming, all presented in real physical gaming cartridges. Each one is a window into the best of gaming. It can highlight the works of a publisher like ACTIVISION, TAITO or RARE. Or the history of a franchise like TOMB RAIDER, DUKE NUKEM, or LEGACY OF KAIN. Or it can be a way to discover hidden gems and new modern-retro indie titles. No downloads or wait times, just physical ownership, a full colour manual, and collectability with over 80 cartridges and 700+ games released since Evercade’s launch in 2020. All playable with the Evercade Nexus.
Included with the Evercade Nexus is a brand new cartridge - The BANJO-KAZOOIE Double Pack: a new collection featuring RARE’s 64-bit classic titles BANJO-KAZOOIE and BANJO-TOOIE. Both games have been customized especially for Evercade fans, delivering a premium experience with all the authenticity and playability of the originally released titles, but with performance and graphical improvements. Including full widescreen support, an overhauled camera with twin-stick support, support for non-analogue controls, unlockable content, and more! The cartridge is included in the box along with a full color manual.
The console is not only a brand new evolution in the Evercade ecosystem, but also an incredible starting point for new players, with many features that take the Evercade experience to the next level. The new forward-facing dual stereo speakers provide high-quality audio, and wireless headphone support allows you to game on the go or at home cable-free. The new design is built with comfort in mind, with a new rear textured grip that makes the console comfortable to hold for long periods, and it has over 5 hours of battery life.
