Legacy of Kain Collection bleeds on the Evercade

Hot on the heels of a second Bitmap Brothers Amiga collection, Evercade is ramping up the release news after the summer snooze.

Pretty sure I played the Dreamcast version of Soul Reaver, but am happy to step down a notch. 

That's a bit of good news after the delay to November of the revised EXP-R handheld model. Evercade Collection 41 arrives in September for £22.99, I guess they were fairly compact releases as this isn't badged with the GigaCart tag for larger-storage carts (like Tomb Raider). 

Both Tomb Raider and Kain are from the Crystal Dynamics stable, so it would be logical to assume that a few more games are on the way, with the Gex and Pandemonium games having plenty of cachet and potential.
