What is the Evercade Alpha?

May 14, 2024

In late April, it was revealed that the Evercade VS-R Controller packaging indicated compatibility with an undisclosed device named Alpha, alongside existing consoles VS and VS-R. While the nature of Alpha remains speculative, suggestions lean towards an arcade-style device resembling the TAITO Egret II. This hypothetical unit would feature a rotatable built-in display and digital-only arcade controls, aiming for practicality and affordability with a potential price range of $129 - $149 USD. This aligns with Evercade's strategy of streamlined, cost-effective gaming products.
