Interesting licensing from the Evercade team. It’s good to see they are not scraping the barrel. It’d be all too easy to fall into that trap. Kudos to them for their efforts.
64 bit is exciting because it opens up more licensing opportunities for blaze. Could see a turok collection now! Maybe even duke collection 3 with 64, zero hour and the gameboy color game? more possibilities!
Star Wars Shadow of the Empire N64 yes please for Xmas 2024 lol. Whats odd though is that emulation of N64 on PC soon after the console released was superb in like 1998/9. Maybe it was easier to emulate N64 with a Voodoo 2 GFX card than todays tech? Maybe why we got PC turok on modern consoles instead. Ummm.
An interesting & varied collection. Bar Street Brawler is basically a console iteration of a C64 game called Street Hassle by Melbourne House. It was hilarious on there for a while, but this version looks odd, with a completely different colour scheme & smaller sprites. It also has the title music from the C64 version , playing constantly throughout. Target Renegade was also on the C64, and was a good game. This version looks very different, as it's likely an 8 bit console iteration
I think your summary says everything - 3 good games that probably justify the purchase. TBH, there’s a lot of my favourite carts, like Codemasters and Gaelco, where it’s the same, so why not give it a go?
I feel like there needs to be a more advance Evercade system that can emulate Dreamcast, Saturn, Sega CD, Sega 32X Amiga CD32, PSP and the like. They should incorporate two analog thumbsticks in addition to analog triggers, provided they support platforms that require them.
Bad Street Brawler ... Now you're playing with Power! Beast Wrestler may have some competition for the best "so bad, it's good" game on Evercade. I'm sold :-) Keep up the awesome work!
Question you can use cheats on glover all I wanted was the call ball it goes on but after that I don’t know how to call it The cheat is pause then input select, l1, l1, select ,r1 ,l1, l2, select
Agree, I think they missed a trick going for NES version of Target Renegade. Spectrum version would have been a far better received option. Overall 10 games is decent number even if some stinkers.
This looks similar to Piko 3. Two or three interesting titles with a bunch of unreleased or inferior ports. That version of Target Renegade looks sad. I might wait to see how Glover emulates.
Personally, I'm not very interested in this round of carts but that's the natural of curated collections of games. I'll wait patiently for the next round of announcements.
Really hoping they also allow the analog input from our other controllers (that the VS supports) to help us play this and whatever n64 games come down the pipeline. Also I hope we see more racing/starfox like games come to evercade, Been keeping an eye on a steam game called Super Polygon Grand Prix and Ex Zodiac and if they had a port to evercade (dual cart maybe) that would be amazing! Edit: "Not NES-essarily" I see what you did there hehe.
Ahhh, Thanks CB. I saw Zero Tolerance Underground and thought what the heck is this? I knew they were thinking of a sequel but it was going to be called Beyond Zero Tolerance so I was very confused what this one was. I'm approaching this cart with extreme caution. I thought Piko3 was, well I'll be kind and just say it wasn't for me and while this looks a little better, it's a very little amount.
Cheers Crazy, Gloover looks interesting, never played it. Zero Tolerance Underground was released for Megadrive a few years back with Zero Tolerance on the same cart by Limited Run Games, I have a copy. Interestingly though, Funstock have picked Underground up for Megadrive and last time I looked, (xmas) you could pre-order it. Obviously I wont be buying it again for Megadrive. 😉
Bar street brawler is also known as Bop'n' Rumble on C64 - In this version you beat up old men (At some point you can give them a knee in the groin) but the rest is the same
I know there are some people who were very excited getting some Playstation and now N64 but the camera and controls are just so important. I saw a bunch of review videos that said 40 Winks is basically unplayable as you can't get your character to move in a straight line (I had the same experience with Croc on PS as a kid) so I'll be curious to see if they release any type of analog controller to help with some of these.
@@obsoleteworlds I'm happy you enjoyed. I've watched half a dozen reviews and it looks like me playing Croc. Your guy just swerves from left to right like he's drunk.
Nope, the list only appears on thy black limited edition model, since that is what was for stolen and therefore had a delayed launch. The white ones weren't affected.
@@scootakuh3142 Interesting. Might prove useful to someone in the future..., a way to tell if it's genuine or has it been fixed by using the insides of a white one. 😉
Mapping N64 buttons to the Evercade shouldn't be too bad. At least for the EXP or the VS. When you hold an N64 controller, you either have the stick, and eight buttons (Z, 4xC, A, B, and R), or you have the D-pad and eight buttons (L, 4xC, A, B, and R). On the Evercade EXP and VS it's the same story. You have the D-pad, four face buttons, and four shoulders. The trick will be moving a couple of the C buttons to the shoulders in a way that's not totally insane, and that mapping is going to have to be done on a game by game basis, because I don't think there's a single mapping that's going to make the standard four-face four-shoulder layout make sense across every possible situation. The bigger concern for me is what the emulation is going to be like. I'm not going to preorder this pack. I want to see the usual crowd of Evercade CZcamsrs review the actual cart on real Evercade hardware, because N64 is famously a pain in the ass to get satisfying emulation out of on lower powered hardware.
Oh, ok. I didn't realize we are getting zero underground. I thought we are getting 'beyond'. Makes me wonder if insering piko 3 and 4 will unveil it as a secret. I mean... it's just begging to at this point.
@@CrazyBurger I own a replica cart with the rom. It's rough. But given that there is now a collection widely available, I was wondering if they put some work into it to make it more playable...
@@HFOfficial They say there's no point as the market is already covered by the 8bitdo controllers. Get one of those, they are excellent and work well with VS.
Street racer on the Megadrive was excellent. It used line scrolling to generate a highly detailed road surface and was 4 player via the multi tap. Looks like the SNES version is only 2 player, sadly. The PlayStation version was also 4 player. Have we missed out on the Evercade’s first 4 player split screen racing game by using the SNES version?
I was really looking forward to playing this in 4 player mode on the VS but the website says it is only 2 players. Not very happy as that was my main reason for buying it.
Glover 64bit can be played now on Steam but if the negative reviews are correct, maybe not a good idea to play that one. QUByte is releasing it on the other consoles and that has me wondering if it will be the Steam version as is or did QUByte do more work on it. BTW, the Mermaid game is the same game as Bubble Bath Babes but no naked pixels version.
Anyone getting the impression Piko 4 is a bit of a Nintendo knockoff cartridge? Glover obviously the first 64 bit game , Street Racer trying to be Mario Kart , Star X is Star Fox , either way this looks like a return to form from Piko and Blaze .
Don't understand what Blaze have against including ZX Spectrum games in any collections. Fair enough, those games aren't very good, but no worse than Commodore 64, Gameboy and ancient Atari games they've bothered to get licenses for.
@@CrazyBurger Whoever owns Target Renegade gave permission for this cart as Pico either owns the rights now or done a deal with whoever does. A lot of the companies that did ZX Spectrum versions of games are either bust or sold their back catalogues on to others in mergers and buyouts. Pico seem to specialise in sooking up forgotten 3rd rate games from the past. Pico can secure bootleg games from the far east, games such as Water Margin and Generals of the whatever Clan but can't secure rights to other more obvious titles. Blaze and Evercade are no better as they seem to be deliberately ignoring past UK publishers despite being a UK company. If the people behind that ZX Spectrum with 800 plus games plug and play thingy that was out a few years ago could get licensing deals done for ZX Spectrum games then I'm pretty sure Blaze and Pico can. In addition to not having any ZX Spectrum game collections, there haven't even been Amstrad games or collections released either. I personally couldn't care less but it does annoy me when companies do certain tactics at the neglect of others. Those home computers of the past are a readymade fan base for releases. Mixing some of these platform's games into other scheduled collections would make them more palatable to general Evercade users rather than lumping them all on one dedicated collection for each system, another avenue Blaze aren't doing.
In short, Blaze can give us game collections from obscure and fringe Spanish and Japanese developers such as Gaelco and Jaleco but can't source licenses for past games made up the road in this country. You don't have to be a staunch brexiteer to realise something's wrong there.
@@bigbabatunde1218 only Blaze can give us the real explanation here. It just sounds like the licensor doesn't want to play ball or want too much money.
@@CrazyBurger Exactly. Evercade are approaching crunch point over 2024 and 2025 and have got to start explaining themselves. Failure by them to expand and do more variety in their licensing will inadvertently reveal low market confidence in Evercade products. Then comes the bust or acquisition phase. It's logical to think that if no ZX Spectrum or Amstrad games become available in the next 18 months then they're not likely to do them at all.
I think is perhaps the better of the Two NEW carts released. But I don’t think it’s Blaze’s best foot forward for 2024?! 🤔. Even beyond those standards that you mentioned Crazy Burger. I still don’t think it’s worth it. I think it’s a compromise at best to except those games. On a collection that is overall MEDIOCRE. At least that’s my opinion. I want to be like. Here Blaze take my money, and this is what they put out?!…
The best stuff seems to always arrive around Christmas.. im sure this year will be similar. New EXP 2, with analogue controls.. 7" screen. 2 cart slots lol.
Nah, not impressed with this cart. Tbh I've had enough Piko now. This will be the 6th collection if you include the two Gaelco ones as well, which also fall under the Piko brand. Blaze need to move on and give us something else, instead of games that were picked up by Piko once their licenses lapsed.
Interesting licensing from the Evercade team. It’s good to see they are not scraping the barrel. It’d be all too easy to fall into that trap. Kudos to them for their efforts.
Review of Bad Street Brawler really made me laugh xD That looks like a fun game to try with a friend after a few beers....
Lol its such a shocker. It could be a laugh I guess if you don't take it to serious. To be fair, I've played worse.

Trouble is no analog stick.
@@CA_I As VS supports 3d party controllers that have them I'm sure they could tap in to it/them seeing as it's emulation. It's on them to allow it.
I think another duke cart could be great, Duke64, and the 3D official expansions, Zero Hour, and Manhattan Project!
I'd love to see some old WWF and WCW games on the evercade!
Gutted it doesn't have the Spectrum version of Target Renegade, the music was so good.
The Fidgetts....my old trauma inducing enemy. Never did I think it would crawl back to see the light of day.

The C64 version is one of my favorite games ever, Bop N Rumble!
Mermaids is actually a censored version of the early unlicensed game Bubble Bath Babes. Piko sure loves its censored nudity! :)
So does Blaze!
I would have said the spectrum version of target renegade, it was a mint game.
