Initially announced back in May, Blaze Entertainment’s Evercade NXT looks like a natural progression of its original Evercade handheld, showcasing a streamlined design with a solid glass-covered 800×480 pixel 4.3-inch IPS screen and built-in Wi-Fi for firmware updates, along with a USB-C port and improved 1.5Ghz chipset.

Our friends over at Time Extension have managed to go hands-on with the new Evercade NXT and came away feeling immensely positive about the upcoming launch later this year. During the session, it was also confirmed by Blaze that the handheld will come bundled with 18 classic Capcom games – a handful of which have appeared on the likes of the NES and SNES – making a prospective purchase all the more tempting for Evercade fans and newcomers.
