Evercade

[targetrasp]

my intent was a complete set but one of the lower numbered carts i never even saw offered and the next batch i completely ignored. Really wish i would have skipped out on a few things and went for the polymega

[retro junkie]

I have mostly been distracted by an obscure little handheld called the Switch. 
It is been a while since I pulled the Evercade out. But I do not regret purchasing the unit. It is a portable game system. And I am glad I have it in my collection. Things will change about July when I retire. There will be more time to game.

@retro junkie - once you spend more time with it, I'm curious on what you think.

@targetrasp is polymega going to be a thing?

[targetrasp]

I think it might, they've even got a light gun controller that'll work on hdtv... HOUSE OF THE DEAD... i'm considering buying the deluxe bundle and a gun, you know, do my part to stimulate the economy

I have become somewhat interested in the Polymega. I am going to put it on my bucket list. 

[BLUEVOODU]

Looks like we need to continue in a Polymega topic, @targetrasp 

Editing... nevermind... it still hasn't shipped.  However, looks like we need a polymega topic

Just saw Evercade's latest announcement! They are introducing their VS console. It will hook up to your flatscreen TV for a four player capability. What do they have planned? Is anyone here interested? Pre-order will be available in May. I will be in line to add this to my collection of the Evercade stuff.

My original intent was to keep up with a complete evercade collection - some how on wave one I missed carts 2 and 6. What I did play was fine, but nothing new, nothing really pushing me to keep collecting / playing.

Now this. I'm not sold, but I'm a solid maybe.

[BLUEVOODU]

That's interesting!   I'm not sure YET if I'm sold... but it's definitely interesting and makes it much more appealing.

I do not see the pre-orders up yet... but if I do, I'll create a link / topic here.

@targetrasp which 2 carts are you missing?

[targetrasp]

from the first wave i'm missing namco museum collection 1 (cart 2) and namco museum collection (cart 6)

I've not bought any of the others - i think there's 20 now

[retro junkie]

I am totally excited about the four "arcade" game carts coming this fall.

[targetrasp]

@retro junkie how many of these have you picked up so far?

[retro junkie]

@targetrasp I have 5. I have been busy with picking up things for the Switch. I call that a distraction.  But I think you can understand. But of all the things that I have picked up for the Switch I seem to be glued to Animal Crossing. I have good intentions. I do want to continue with picking up game carts for this system. Some carts attract me more than others, the arcade carts especially. I will probably turn toward stocking my library for this console later on in the year. I am focused at the moment in getting into gear for my retirement in about a month, July.

[targetrasp]

Its funny how much work goes into not having to work anymore!

Congratulations on it, I hope you enjoy

I got this for In the Hunt and R-Type. The different color box signifies that it is the arcade version of the game. Today I ordered Toaplan arcade 1 and 2, got a lot of shmups on each one. I will probably end up with all four as I found out today that there are four in all so far.

One thing I find troubling is there are some that are not going to be accepting US orders due to tariffs, as this is a UK item. This makes it very difficult to obtain new releases.

[BLUEVOODU]

@retro junkie That's awesome. R-Type is definitely worthy.  So the tariffs are impacting these games and the ability to bring the into the US?  Is this a reality right now or a "maybe not going to accept" orders from the US?

"Hyper Mega Tech post" --> This is on my radar

[BLUEVOODU]

@retro junkie -- how did the tariff situation work out ... at least that you saw?

[retro junkie]

@BLUEVOODU

The consoles and games are funneled through certain sellers, plus there is eBay. There are some of those European sellers that just do not ship to the US because they do not want to deal with the tariffs.

But going to the Evercade site you will find plenty of US merchants selling the Blaze stuff.

SO I really don't know how that has affected any sales. I have purchased most of my stuff through Songbird and Amazon.
