All 4-Player games on the Evercade VS

Was bored, so I created a list of all the Evercade games that can be played with up to 4 players on the VS. Please let me know if I missed something!

Thoughts on the Capcom SuperPocket?

I've been trying to decide on which one to get, and I think I've decided on the Capcom one. I was torn between this and the Rare one, but I saw that I could just buy the Rare Collection seperately anyway so I wouldn't be missing out.

Has anyone else got the Capcom version? I've never played any of the games that come on it (probably a sin I know) and I want to know what people's thoughts are on it.

Edit: Seems like the consensus is that it's a good choice, I'll keep everyone updated with another post when I get it!

Do we need a pinned FAQ and more transparency from mods? Or a new independent sub?

I feel like the sub has shifted since the announcement of the Doom Nexus.

First off, I used to see this as the place for a) news and rumours, b) fun discussion of potential future carts with people who know and enjoy actual retro games, c) helping out new Evercaders or sub members with issues not otherwise addressed.

I was shocked by the persistent deletion of any mentions of the leaked December carts before they were officially announced. If this isn't the place for news and rumours, perhaps we need a new sub not controlled by Blaze? Or for mods to be transparent if there are conflicts of interest?

I've also found the fun and interesting suggestions for future carts, or Evercaders needing help with specific issues, drowned out by "Is the Nexus worth it?", or "How long do carts last?", or "I haven't bought an Evercade and I've never heard of Google so please can you guys answer my lazy questions" type posts. I think a pinned FAQ might help?

What do other pre-Doom community members think?

New Dizzy Game(s) Coming - What If To Evercade As Well?

Just curious what the Evercade community thinks about Dizzy and (assuming it's technically possible) if it would be a welcomed and popular Evercade cartridge?

Obviously we don't even know what the target platforms will be yet, but I thought it might be fun to discuss this with the assumption it will be possible as a console ROM or native game.

A third Sunsoft collection could be really cool. They still have lots of games that didn't make the first two collections!

Evercade and the appeal of discovery

The announcement of the last two cartridges coming in December received mixed reactions. Some people, myself included, were disappointed, while others who grew up with these games were really excited. But there's also another group who are simply curious and excited to discover them for the first time.

And I have to admit, I think this is one of the biggest appeals of the Evercade ecosystem: the joy of discovery.

When you're limited to the games available in the Evercade catalogue, you're more likely to give titles a chance that you might never have thought of playing if you had access to a library of 10,000 ROMs. And I'd add that the more open you are to exploring different generations of gaming hardware, the more rewarding that curiosity can be.

Even though I grew up in the 80s and 90s, the number of games I actually played back then was pretty limited. My interest in arcade games at the time was mostly focused on Street Fighter II, NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat.

Thanks to Evercade, I've discovered publishers like Jaleco, Gaelco, Toaplan, Data East, and played games I probably would never have bothered trying on a traditional emulation setup.

I'm still selective about what I buy, and I love physical media, but there's something I particularly enjoy about letting Evercade's curated catalogue guide me towards games I might otherwise have overlooked. It's led to some really great discoveries.

What about you? Do you enjoy that sense of adventure and discovery, trying games you know little or nothing about? Or do you prefer sticking to the games you grew up with and already know you love?

I'd love to hear your thoughts! 😊

Thanks for reading ✌️
