At best I was on the fence with this one but you’ve confirmed that unfortunately there’s really nothing there for me this time, which I very much appreciate! Thanks a lot for the video, which I definitely enjoyed all the same!
No problem, happy to help. That's really the point.. is this cart for you? I think aa we go further, there will be a lot of folks maybe only picking up the carts they want rather than just collecting all of them.
Good video and very fair review. Overall I think this is a troubling trend for Evercade. Piko1 still stands out as one of the best and most unique carts in how many games, how varied and how much time you can put into the games onto the cart. I almost think they spoiled me and I now hold everyone to too high a standard. Piko2 while having fewer games, I could respect how they still had 13 and put all their sports and racing games into one package (though thankfully they threw Top Racer on Piko1). So the cart wasn't for me but I would completely understand those looking for some sports and racing games would find that cart appealing and it has an audience and that audience would really enjoy it. But now, we're down to 10 games and at a point where pretty much every Evercade game on Amazon in the US costs over $25, I'm bummed out to see what they're offering. When I saw the initial list I thought Zero Tolerance is fun and Sword of Sodan is often listed as one of the worst Genesis games but other commenters told me I should check out the NES and GBA games as they're true highlight and to me they look... okay I guess. So I feel like this is a good start but needs at least a few more games and at least one more seller to be a good buy but that's just my opinion. The Team17 on the other hand, I'm very anxious to get into some Alien Breed :-) and I'm really curious to see what Evercade presents at the announcement in a couple of days.
Sadly looks like we already know at least 2 collections that were leaked. But I'm expecting something bigger than this.. plus possible peripherals or something with this Hyper Mega Tech nonsense.
@@CrazyBurger oh yeah, I saw your video about the leak. I'll hope for more and really hope they're thinking about some new controllers. Joysticks for the C64 and Amiga (which might also be really fun for all the Atari collections) and/or maybe an arcade stick. For this last one I know it's a stretch but I really hope they'll reconsider the pack in for the VS. TechnosArcade1 is mostly a stinker and while I really enjoy DataEastArcade1, I'm bummed I had to buy the bigger pack to get it. I think the EXP sets a high bar with what comes with it and maybe they'll make a change for VS.
I’m finding it very hard to use the evercade exp - the d pad just isn’t right, I do wish evercade could work out an attachment to let me connect a controller to the handheld (via usb c port) and at same time hdmi out to screen.
@@CrazyBurger oh my fault. I thought you had a little community post or maybe it was a short about it but it must have been someone else. I guess we'll see all the news tomorrow.
I forgot the characters in 40 Winks were called Ruff and Tumble. It automatically brought a memory up of Ruff'n'Tumble for the Amiga. I wish that would release at some point! Great game!
fastforwarding through the FMV of 40 winks and hearing the chipmunk voices that resulted gave me one of the biggest laughing fits I've had in ages: I thank you for that! But otherwise, I'm pretty excited to get my cart this week, lots of hidden gems and way better than Piko 2 imo
😆 I couldn't help myself. Was going to cut it cause its utter waffle. So just decided to fast forward instead. Its now 100 times better lol agree its way better than Piko 2.
WOW! It's neat seeing 40 Winks running on Evercade, with most things being 2D... a 3D World is like mind blowing lol. Zero Tolerance at 60hz is cool, makes it more responsive to play than 50hz. Thanks for showing these games, I had not got around to seeing them all and only tried Zero Tolerance quickly. Cheers Crazy! 👍
Great video as always matey. Can't wait for my copy along with the team 17 collection tomorrow. Plus the evercade new cart announcements showcase. Gonna be a great day for me and other evercade fan's. :). Its nice that we finally got a collection 3 cartridge now. Despite having a few decent games on Piko 2. Piko 3 is already way better than Piko 2 by a landslide. It definitely won't beat Piko 1 one though. I can never get enough of that collection. I was certainly digging that soundtrack on the second stage of radical bikers. That game along with zero tolerance and 40 winks will be the main ones ill be playing first.
Possibly the standout games for sure! I'll certainly be playing much more of Zero Tolerance. Agree, I dont think for sheer value, piko 1 won't be beat.
Great video as always and really not sure if I'm going to pick this one up. I probably will end up getting it down the line but think the Amiga Collection will be the first to get added to my collection. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
Being with the Evercade I have noticed in general there putting less titles on the carts. I think there getting the most out of the licensing agreements and from here out we will see more follow up collections with less titles. I do have this cart and the Amiga Collection pre ordered and should have them in sometime next week.
Yes, sadly I think that's down to them having no real long term business plan at the time. I think they've re-evaluated what people will pay for and its unlikely we'll ever get a 20 game collection again. I'm a huge C64 fan but those two carts should have been one collection, as should the Intellivision. They are spreading them out too thin and that's why stuff like Sword of Sodan irks people now when crap like Magic Girl didn't on the original collection.
I wonder if the extra Zero Tolerance content, the Sega CD bonus levels & alpha sequel, are hidden on this cart. They are on the other consoles though you have to complete the game to get the alpha sequel to appear. I'm curious how this is to play on such a small screen like the EXP. The Immortal was the game that sold me on Piko 1 and unfortunately it's much too small on the EXP to enjoy so I'm not so quick on this cart for that reason. Zero Tolerance is a lot of fun once you start to pick up on a few things about how the game works which aren't immediately apparent. Once you start to notice how some things work in the game that are unlike any other FPS, it's easier to progress through and it helps you to implement some strategy which will especially come in handy when it introduces the dogs. It has a TON of levels to get through. It will start to feel like it goes on forever with levels. The boss at the end is fun to take on too and not too tough if you are well prepared when you get there. Good luck getting past that sniper on the roof though, that is a PAIN to figure out how to get past.
I watched your vid when you released it Crazy Burger. But I felt I had to stew on what I thought about it, and your experience of it. Maybe it is an automatic expectation that your want a Piko collection to be good?! (since the the First set the standard!). Like I’ve said before. I think this is a return to for a Piko collection! But I have to say. Truthfully. I think is MOSTLY bargain bin filler games! With perhaps ONLY a “few” good games on it. Which have been added to help sell the cart better?! I don’t think that I am alone in thinking this. With LESS games on it for our money, and prices of things skyrocketing. Is this now acceptable anymore?! 🤔. That said. I don’t personally think it’s worth buying. ‘Sword of Sodan’ should perhaps have been a secret game. Unlocked using the Two cartridge system! Hopefully the “Big” SHOWCASE reveal SOON. Will give us better stuff? That will blow the likes of this cart out of the water! But like I said. Not a bad cart. It’s ok at best. With some fun to be had. If your prepared to invest more time into difficult, seemly lack lustre games? 🤔
Yeah you definitely need to invest time into it to get the best out of it. A bit like the c64 cart 2. But agree it is a collation of cheap to license games. Not massive by any means. Still it's not the worst by a long way.
@@CrazyBurger - The grinding is my favorite part, it's comforting to me...though admittedly I've been spending far more time replaying The Classics than anything new, beating the Shining Force, Phantasy Star, and SaGa games as well as Drakkhen.
I still think the games on this cart seems to be mediocre at best. And some of the games are tied for the bottom of the library. Radical Bikers is the only game I find interesting, makes sense since I´m a Gaelco fan! 😄
of course not, otherwise evercade VS users could have fun with a 2 player coop adventure, but this way with the ps1 version the 2player mode is removed so they can play isolated lonely without anyone to enjoy this game together and keep focusing on work and school until the end.
Great video on both these new carts. I would like to know the reasoning Blaze put Sword of Sodan on this cart., when only offering 13 games this time......I mean c'mon.....there HAD to have been a better game to put on here.....LIKE ANYTHING ELSE ON THE PLANET. Was this some sort of sick joke??!! I did laugh at the death animations and death screams......that's the only worthy part of that pile of shit.
For me, this 3rd chapter seems even weaker than the 2nd one: it looks like a confused mashup of forgettable games and true crappy ones. "40 Winks" is ok (even if not memorable) and the inclusion of the unreleased GBC version of "Radikal Bikers" is a nice touch, but all the rest goes from forgettable (Zero Tolerance aged absolutely badly) to total crap like "Sword of Sodan"?! HOW DARE YOU, PIKO?! 🙄
Interesting.. a lot of people didn't like piko 2. No doubt these games are cheap to license titles. I quite like a few. But true there's nothing truly outstanding on it.
@@CrazyBurger oh, I was one of the fews who really liked the 2nd Piko cartridge, because I usually like some sport games, especially the basketball ones! 😇 The selection on this 3rd cart looks uninspired and totally confused, at least for me.

@@CrazyBurger I’m more than happy with the Team 17 one for now. Just arrived in the post!
@@SteveNorman oh yes.. now that's a cracking cart.. I'm really enjoying this one.

Doesent look to bad got to give it a go 👍

Ended up ordering Piko 3 this morning, lol. I just can't help myself :-)
Ha I know the feeling.. honestly it's not too bad at all.
The next version of the evercade needs to include analogue joystics..
Ah you ain't kidding.. Evercade 2 probably. I dunno. That could be a while off
Who in their minds thought that including Sword of Sodan would be a great idea? Overall, this collection was a big disappointment for me.
Given the overall quality of most of the games in this collection, it seems to me that Piko is still the King of the Evercade.
Lol possibly.. more to come as well..

Looks some good games on here and some real shit nuggets 😂 , have you tried any combinations with the Piko carts to see if we get Sword Of Sodan 2
I've tried a few combos but found nothing.. its not the usual combinations. There might not be any secret games..
We can always use more RPGs on Evercade...
I just wish I had the patience to grind my way through them

Could always be worse!
Is the 40 Winks on here the Nintendo 64 version?
No. Ps1

3D platformers gave me so much motion sickness back in the day...
Ah nightmare.. for most it was Doom
