Evercade's New Cart Teased and Lynx Update

If you follow Evercade on Twitter, you'll know all this - move on.

If not, Evercade is hitting the retailers (in Canada, anyway) now, and the UK release is getting closer, with the cargo container on these shores and past customs. Which leaves buyers wondering what will be next on the roster after they've snapped up all the launch offerings?



The developers have a little tease with two snippets of useful information:

• It is from a new publisher
• There's 11 games in it
• And we already know it launches in June

So "new publisher" rules out Atari, Namco, Data East, Mega Cat, Technos and Piko, but leaves a rather long list of other possibilities. A list of 11 games makes it sound like something from the more recent age of the retro catalogue, rather than the chunky Atari VCS collections.

Other than that, guess we have to wait and see, but I'm hoping for something from Hamster or Taito.

After launch we have a confirmed pair of Atari Lynx carts to look forward to, and another tweet shows testing is going well on these, with the flip mode incorporated!

Experimenting with this, for our upcoming Atari Lynx games. The original Lynx console had a 'flip' switch, for left or right handed play.

Also note, that loverly screen ratio, utilising much more of our screen (and much more than a 4:3 would have supported!) pic.twitter.com/QRx65FehaY
