PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games. Everyone else is still barely cutting the skin of the PS5's power, and most western smal...

Evercade VS console and arcade game pre-orders live

After an impressive effort last Thursday, there is less than 20% 15% 10% no stock of the Founder Edition stock left. Can't say I'm surprised given the £169 price point for the black unit and all those goodies. Great to see the Evercade moving units so well, I'm amazed at how popular it is, given the modest bubble of fans on Twitter, and I can't wait to see the fan base grow with the new models. 


On the plus side, if black is not really your thing, then the more budget-conscious white models are now live for pre-order, along with the first four arcade collections, depending on what bundle you choose. Popping up on Amazon and other outlets, expect brisk trade based on the original Evercade launch. 

Tip: Buy the red cable and you can use your Evercade handheld as a controller for the Vs! 


Argos already has the Vs consoles Premium (£109) and Starter (£89) packs up for pre-order. If you're new to Evercade, you an also save a few £££ on some of the earlier cartridges. Game also has pre-orders up. If you are outside the UK, Evercade has a handy list of stockists.

Please note, if you do buy from Amazon UK, I get a tiny commission that goes toward buying carts for reviews and content. 

Note that the cool black controller is only available separately on Funstock if you want to mix things up a bit. The new Vs console and arcade games will ship on November the 3rd, but the original handheld is in stock in most places if you want to splash into #EvercadeCove right now. 

Be aware that the Namco 1 and 2 carts can't play on the new Vs console due to a licensing issue, but hopefully that will get sorted. Otherwise, all carts play on both the handheld original Evercade and the Vs console. 

While all the fuss might be about the new Arcade carts, remember the upcoming Bitmap Brothers and Intellivision carts, highlighting the Evercade's wide-ranging love of retro across all formats. Long may that continue, however we get to play them! 


Wake me up when October ends!
