History[]
On 26 March 2021 Evercade Entertainment announced that a product known as the Evercade VS would be revealed on 23 April 2021. After much speculation about what the product may be,[2] the company revealed a backwards-compatible home console version of the Evercade handheld.[3]
Hardware[]
The Evercade VS features a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor backed by 512MB of DRAM and 4GB of internal storage. Controllers will use USB input. The console also features Wi-Fi connectivity exclusively for firmware updates and bug fixes. It will be capable of 1080p output via HDMI.[4]
Games[]
The Evercade VS is backwards-compatible with all Evercade cartridges except Namco Collections 1 and 2 because those collections were only licensed for handheld use.[5] Blaze hopes to expand the license to achieve full compatibility soon.[6]
