Evercade Nexus Launches with Banjo-Kazooie Bundle

Blaze has released the Evercade Nexus, a premium handheld console featuring a nearly six-inch display and expanded control options. Priced at $199.99, the device is bundled with cartridges for Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, offering native ports that support analog sticks for improved gameplay. The system maintains compatibility with all existing Evercade game carts, ensuring access to the broader library despite its higher cost. A notable new feature is EverSync, which allows multiplayer sessions between two Nexus owners, though this functionality requires owning multiple units to utilize effectively. While the hardware mirrors the interface of previous models, the larger screen aims to enhance the experience for players seeking nostalgia without sacrificing portability. Additionally, The Doom Collection is available as a separate release, featuring local split-screen support and challenge modes including campaigns by John Romero. The Nexus represents Blaze's latest step in diversifying its ecosystem beyond standard handhelds and home systems.
