The Evercade EXP puts 300 classic arcade games in your pocket – and it looks great

techradar.com:

Hardware manufacturer Blaze Entertainment has announced the Evercade EXP handheld console, the latest in its line-up of Evercade products that offer an affordable solution to playing arcade games both legally and on the go.

Pre-orders for the Evercade EXP Limited Edition – a sleek black variant of the handheld – are now live, giving you access to some of the best Arcade games (thanks, Gamespot(opens in new tab) ). Currently, it looks like the only retailer accepting pre-orders for the limited edition console is the UK-based Funstock(opens in new tab), and is charging £180 (around $227 / AU$315).

Fear not if you're outside of the UK, though, as Funstock ships worldwide. The Evercade EXP's standard edition will be up for pre-order this coming September, and will cost $150 / £130 (around AU$228). The standard edition trades the black finish for white, and doesn't come with the extra goodies bundled with the limited edition.

We're already pretty impressed by the Evercade EXP's specs, too. It features a 4.3-inch 800 x 480 IPS display, packs in 4GB of RAM, and even has a micro-HDMI port which lets you hook the handheld up to your TV or monitor if you want to play your games at a boosted 720p resolution.

Glancing at the handheld, you might notice a couple of additional A and B buttons sitting underneath the large d-pad. These are for the console's TATE mode, which allows you to flip it 90-degrees to play with a vertical display. That's extra handy if you're looking to play vertical shooters, for example, at the correct orientation and resolution.

Like the Evercade and Evercade VS before it, the Evercade EXP supports bespoke cartridges, each of which is packed with arcade games from various publishers and developers.
