Evercade Showcase Volume 4 Announced: Celebrate Five Years of Retro Gaming Innovation

Retro gaming enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Blaze Entertainment has officially announced Evercade Showcase Volume 4, airing on May 29th, 2024.

This showcase marks an impressive five-year milestone for the Evercade platform—a beloved ecosystem for physical retro game cartridges that has built a dedicated fanbase since its debut.

The event will stream at 8pm UK time (9pm Central Europe, 3pm US Eastern, and 12pm US Pacific), offering global fans a front-row seat to the next wave of Evercade news. Launched in 2020, the Evercade family began with its original handheld console, designed for gamers seeking authentic retro experiences in a portable form factor.

Blaze Entertainment quickly expanded the lineup with the Evercade VS, a home console system supporting multiplayer couch co-op, and the Evercade EXP, an upgraded portable device boasting features tailored to classic gaming purists.

Adding to the versatility of the ecosystem, the HyperMegaTech sub-brand introduced the Super Pocket series, further cementing Evercade’s reputation for hardware compatibility—all units support the full catalogue of Evercade cartridges. Blaze Entertainment recently announced a significant partnership with Japanese video game giant SNK, known for its timeless arcade and console classics.

This collaboration has already yielded new hardware options and will bring a host of iconic SNK titles to the Evercade platform.

In addition, Blaze has confirmed upcoming cartridge releases featuring legendary developers Gremlin and Data East, expanding the growing Evercade library and ensuring fans have access to a diverse selection of retro hits. Reflecting on Evercade’s journey, a company spokesperson recapped, "Over the last five years, we've built a community passionate about preserving gaming history while introducing new generations to classic titles.

Our latest partnerships and hardware releases showcase our ongoing commitment to this mission." The showcase is poised to deliver updates on new cartridges, hardware innovations, and perhaps additional publisher collaborations, building on the strong foundation Blaze Entertainment has established.

As Evercade continues to thrive amid a resurgence of interest in legacy platforms, the company’s dedication to physical media and accessible gaming experiences sets it apart in the modern market. Fans can catch Evercade Showcase Volume 4 live next week and stay tuned for announcements that promise to shape the future of the retro gaming landscape.
