Evercade EXP bonus Capcom content revealed

There's already plenty of buzz around the new and improved Evercade EXP handheld model (latest boxart added below), but we can always do with a little extra, right? So, to keep interest ticking over, the company just dropped a list of bonus content that's coming out exclusively for the EXP model to get us all upgrading this winter, as if the improved hardware isn't enough.

Update, preorders are now up, various countries and stores listed. In the UK, Funstock and Game are taking orders, finally up on Amazon UK

Update to the update: The delivery date has moved from November 24th to 15th December, making a great Christmas present! 


The great news is, The Evercade EXP comes with The Capcom Collection built in with 18 arcade games including Street Fighter 2, the 194x series, Mega Man (console games), Commando, Final Fight and many more, all built-in. Hopefully there will be a cart release for other Evercade system owners, and its not hard to imagine Capcom Collection 2 turning up in 2023.
