Evercade - Review - Game Sack

UPDATE: There is a firmware update coming at launch that will fix the more egregious button mapping issues I described in this video, especially the likes of Double Dragon 2 and Renegade. I have tested this update and it's easy to install and works great. The SNES button mapping is also now 1:1 to a real SNES pad... the names of the buttons may be different but they are in the correct locations. I have also not encountered any sound issues over HDMI since installing the update. It's a start and it shows that they are listening!

Being an editor as well I am humbled by and so grateful for your consistency Joe, it does not go unnoticed. Another great episode.

The official Evercade Facebook page and is followers are sure attacking Joe for giving his honest opinion. If that's the way they handle skepticism, then my intrest in the Evercade is gone. Joe and Game Sack all the way!

The "Cade" part of the name makes me think ARCADE. No such luck in practice.

[DougGarrett]

This is why I love Gamesack, best reviews on YouTube.

[ElroyKnight]

Not being able to customize your controls is a HUGE oversight.

[jacobprayer]

Not being able to customize the button layout and the shimmering makes this unapealing to me.

We need the exaspirated gamer to sum things up: "It's

[Mystemo]

Oh no! I was actually interested in the Evercade but that button mapping thing is an absolute dealbreaker.

I like so many things of this episode:
1) You wired home setup and "In the wild" footage captures your games de-casing and jumping into there appropriate systems. Probably thinking "stay a while, it'll be fun"

2) The candid prompt at the beginning about missing emails and such was perfect. Very cavalier.

3) Always keeping it fair. Considering prices, etc.

Another solid episode.
And to answer your question: I am putting Tanzer on my Gensis Mini

Ahhhh you wake up in Norway and Mr. Redifer has a feshly prepared review for breakfast... and it's not even my birthday!

Cheers Joe!

Finnally a youtube channel that tells the TRUTH

GAMESACK can always be trusted

[thomasberry]

Review fail! Joe forgot to cross his arms, turn the console upside down and turn his head upside down before critiquing the controls. What a noob.

[Sofubi]

Thank you for the honest review, Joe.
I'm glad someone actually did one.

This was a more thorough review than I've seen elsewhere. No one else I've seen had mentioned the screen shimmer or audio problems at all, and the button mapping issue was consistently glossed over to the point where I had never guessed it was that extensive. I've been excited for this system, though, and I don't know if these issues are complete deal breakers for me- but suddenly it seems a lot more overpriced then it did before. I guess I believe in the potential for this system- as a way of accessing physical, collectible versions of homebrews, indie games and hidden gems in a legal, relatively affordable way. But that potential may never be realized if the system has too many downsides. Future firmware updates, if they happen at all, may be what saves this whole idea.

[Gojiro]

what on earth possessed them to include any of the swordquest games?!?! without the comic book manual, you cant find the clues you cant do anything with it since the contest the clues go tword are completely useless, so why include it at all!?!?!

[Daily_Gaming]

Oooo boy I bet they're regretting sending him this after the review! Gotta appreciate the honesty though.

[thatryeguy]

I find it amazing that they put so much time into emulating these games and mess up the control schemes so badly.

[Seantendo]

There's something special about the way the cartridges go in, combined with the switch. It's so much more satisfying than the spring-action business we've had for the last few generations.

Gotta love the crunchy surprise noise. Thanks for the great review. Sack better than ever.
