Evercade Alpha Street Fighter Bartop Arcade Review

Very cool!

Awesome
👍👍™️

That machine is a awesome idea love it, Can be connected to a tv??

That's a "slick" bartop machine.
I might pick one up. Great review! 👍

I want this just for ease of use. My VS isn't always connected. Hooking it up to play isn't hard, but can be annoying. This would solve that issue.

I'd totally buy this, if not for the outrageous import taxes we have here in Brazil 🥲😪

I'm very impressed how this arcade looks from evercade here! I love Street Fighter series and been a fan of it for so many years.

I might get one later down the line to see if there is a price drop. I'll probs get the Mega Man one if so.

We have the arcade version of Sky Shark, Flying Shark on Toaplan 1. They included the NES port for the original soundtrack by famed British composer Tim Follin and because there were no other Toaplan arcade games to include. I really wish they had included more home ports to fill out collection 4. Oh well.

Having been a home arcade channel, and doing my best to transition out of it, I think the Evercade Alpha is a good option opposed to the Arcade1Up countercades which are low tier product. Confident Evercade has a much higher quality product, as well as the idea of playing carts is really cool.

I'd love a Namco Splatterhouse edition. I know about the Namco collection carts. Im on the fence on these 2 units.

Are you still going to do the special edition with the block'em sock'em socks?

As you know, I'm a huge Evercade fan, but this is a pass for me. Great review! 🎉

One one hand, this seems to be wildly overpriced. But on the other hand, it’s 2024, and Trump has made everything wildly MORE EXPENSIVE, so maybe it’s a nice value.

Ultimately it’s not something I’d buy since we’re struggling right now, but I might look into it down the road once Kamala ends the price gouging in the market.

Thanks John! 🙏

has.. no one covered the Deluxe versions??

Would have been awesome if you could system link 2 alpha's . They would have sold twice as many.

Great video! 👍 Thanks for doing a good unboxing as well, showing all the angles. Also showing the boot up is something most people would skip, but is cool/interesting to see 👍 Cheers 🙂

Nice brings me back growing up in the 80's and 90's playing on the arcade

This was very tempting for me. But I already had the VS and several of their handhelds. And I'm hoping the Capcom games might get cartridge releases later. (I hope) Otherwise, its a great device! And I'm very tempted for sure!

Seems like a decent quality cabinet, the price is defitely too high for what you get imo. The screen could be slightly larger on it, and maybe an HDMI port, which is not a huge deal to me personally, but I keep seeing so many people say that is a major reason for them not wanting it.

Nice mini arcade machine. I'd prefer something a bit bigger, with at least a 12" screen, or maybe 15". A great feature would be if you could pivot the screen for vertical arcades.

Preordered on funstock some time ago, shipping date is end of November. I had forgotten about it but now I'm excited, thanks for the review!

Excellent launch, looks like a quality product, I really want both models.

If I manage to move to a place with more space I will try to import them.

Thanks as always John.

Great review, I can’t wait for mine to arrive! Looking forward to playing SF2 with the stick proper button layout, as well as arcade shooters and beat ‘em ups on this thing.

Is there any perceived lag when playing?

Thanks for the review. I love the look of the Street Fighter version, not the Mega Man one. However, I prefer the games mix within the Mega Man version. I don't believe you can buy the Capcom cartridges, so leaves me pondering which version to get, neither quite work for me. Love what Blaze are doing with their Evercade range though, retro goodness.

Most excellent review, John. Do you think it's modable for a little crt in there?

Happy for you to get this when I got laid off August 1 I had to cancel my pre-order 💫🦉

The first video where we finally try out the new games on this machine. Thank you very much for showing us this wonder. I'm looking forward to receiving the deluxe version at the end of the month.

Evercade and John Hancock can’t go wrong

I preordered mine on amazon for £200. Then the price went up to £230.00

Best vid I’ve seen of it yet. Oh man I can’t wait to get mine.

Greeting and Happy Saturday to you Mr. Hancock. Hey! I randomly stumbled onto and Rdi Halcyon on ebay just now for 5gs. I know that’s alot but knowing how rare the system is and your passion for all things gaming, I wanted to let you know in case you weren’t notified already. San Diego Air and Space Museum is the seller I believe.

No HDMI output is kinda of a deal breaker for me, so far in my opinion Taito Egret 2 got it right.

Another thing to add to my wish list!

I love the evercade as much as the next and i love the idea of this its awesome my youngest son would go nuts over this but for over 200 bucks.. its a pass unless i find a super good deal . But thanks for showing us john!

How much? For six games?! I can’t get behind that is it hackable

Thats really cool that you can use Evercade carts on this machine. Very cool!

Elvis beat em’ up? I think I finally found a game my Dad will enjoy!

This looks great. Can't wait to get mine. Thanks for the video, John!
