At launch on 20 May 2020, the Evercade handheld console had 10 game cartridges available, providing a total of 122 games.[1] Physical cartridges and cases feature color-coded artwork and numbering correlating to which collection the cartridge is part of: console, arcade, or home computer.[2] Cartridges that are no longer in production, mainly due to limits on licensing agreements, are referred to as "Legacy" cartridges. As of July 2024, eleven cartridges had entered Legacy status (Console #1, #2, #5 #6, #9, #10, #12, #13, #14 and #19 Arcade #4).[3] In addition to those available on cartridge, hidden games are unlockable through several methods. One such method is to insert certain combinations of cartridges into the Evercade VS at the same time.[4]
In April 2024, Blaze unveiled their new Giga Carts. The cartridges are identical in appearance to regular cartridges, other than the addition of a small Giga Cart logo on the label, but have a larger storage capacity. The larger capacity would allow for larger game files to be stored on the cartridge, particularly games originally released on CD. The larger capacity also necessitated a price increase for cartridges in the new format. The first Giga Cart was announced as Tomb Raider Collection 1 which would be sold individually and bundled with the Evercade EXP-R and VS-R which were announced at the same time. Tomb Raider Collection 1 was announced as a summer 2024 release.[5] [6] [7]
