Blaze Entertainment has just unveiled two fantastic new cartridge collections for the Evercade ecosystem, bringing a massive wave of classic home computer action and platforming nostalgia to the ever-growing multi-form factor platform. They’re both available for pre-order now, with a planned December 2026 release.

The Last Ninja & IK Collection – Packed with 14 fighting and action classics from System 3, this collection is a love letter to 8-bit and 16-bit home computer gaming. It features multiple versions of martial arts legends, giving players the chance to experience the nuances of different hardware ports. The cartridge includes:
