The Evercade is a lovely retro handheld that plays games sold in delightful cartridge-based collections. The Evercade VS is a new $US100 ($129) retro console from the makers of the original Evercade with dual cartridge ports and support for four-player local multiplayer. The original Evercade retro console was one of the highlights of 2020 for me. There’s something pleasantly nostalgic about collecting cartridges in the modern era. Opening those clamshell cases, smelling the fresh plastic. It’s good stuff.
