Evercade VS revealed in all its NES glory
Evercade's big event has come and gone (and I was tied up in a job interview, curses!) The result is a shiny new retro set-top box that provides four ports for some serious multiplayer mayhem. We can also use the existing Evercade as an extra controller and the Evercade VS is compatible with all current game carts. (UPDATE: Except Namco Museum 1 and 2 which are now badged as handheld exclusives)
No word if there's extra power for more recent retro systems, but there's a big hint in the "01" purple box on the end there. And, four trigger buttons on the back suggest more PlayStation, N64 and perhaps other system support.
The new console is pretty damn gorgeous, with a NES flap on the front and room for two carts installed. The front row light borrows from the Wii, and output is boosted from the original Evercade's 720p up to 1080p and a smart new interface.
My wish list for that includes on-screen manuals and control guides for some of the more complex games. My first stray thought, is this the first console ever announced with no "new" games for it?
