Original 2021 post: Now the Evercade news is coming thick and fast, I'll make this the featured post with the release schedule and links to all the collections, firmware versions and other useful information. Down the page are the rumours and suggestions from the community (and me) that would make great future releases.   

RUMOURS/SUGGESTIONS:

Blaze asked for feedback about a Homebrew Heroes pack, 89% of voters said yes, with plenty of suggestions for NES and PC homebrews. That resulted in the Indie Heroes Collection 1, a great collection including Alien Cat 2, Doodle World and Deadeus, so make sure Evercade hears your opinions when asked! 

The following suggestions came during an Evercade Twitter Q&A 

UDPATED: And ahead of the second anniversary video event. Who knows what from the following is possible as Evercade engages with fans and publishers? Or what's just a fun pipe dream:

Taito Collection (New Zealand Story, Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble etc)
Psygnosis Collection (Barbarian, Shadow of the Beast, Obliterator)
Irem Collection (R-Type series) CONFIRMED!
Taoplan Collection (Slap Fight, Flying Shark, Raiden etc) CONFIRMED
Ultracore (the long-lost Mega Drive game)
Bitmap Brothers Collection (such as Speedball, Xenon, Xenon II, GODS) CONFIRMED!
Atari vector Star Wars games (ohh, please!) 
Majesco (the two companies are actually talking).
Metal Slug Collection (available on other consoles) 
Commander Keen Collection 
Wolfenstein/Doom Collection with mods

Some suggestions from the Evercade Discord channel:

Cinemaware Collection (Defender of the Crown etc)
Cave Shooter Collection (Ikaruga please!)
