PSP2, Switch 2 and Xbox... a brighter portable future? (Updated)

Evercade and Amiga tie-up confirmed

Mentioned earlier in the week at the German Amiga convention #Amiga37, Evercade has confirmed it is working with the platform holder of the legendary 16-bit system. Specifically "Evercade Cartridge Collections will highlight publishers and franchises who made games for Amiga systems."

Rolling out in 2023 and beyond this is another great source of games for the Evercade, with so many legendary titles, and hopefully some of the new indies that still arrive on the Commodore system. It will fit neatly in the new blue scheme of the C64 collection, and I wonder if there will be any room on them for some of the great demo scene creations? 

No games are mentioned, but it is great thinking of all the Psygnosis, Thalamus, Team 17 and many others. Sure, lots of Amiga original games are already available on Evercade via other systems' emulation notably via the Bitmap Brothers and Gremlin Graphics collections, but there are hundreds of gems that could make it over. 

Given the long-running legal issues over Amiga ownership and rights, I hope this means they have been resolved.
