Renovation that everyone loves - new Evercade cartridge announced

The Evercade pocket console keeps getting more and more cartridges. Meet the 23rd one (wow!) - entitled Renovation Collection 1.

It includes exactly 12 games from Japanese publisher Telenet and their American division Renovation. All of these games haven't been released in Europe and are considered to be quite rare. According to Pricecharting.com, the boxed versions of the games cost over $1,400, and if you take the cartridges alone, they cost $450. Considering that all cartridges for Evercade cost £15, $18 or £20, depending on the region, this is a very good deal. True, the price for Renovation Collection 1 has not yet been announced, but let's hope it won't be higher.

Genre diversity is also in place - games include scrolling shooters, RPGs, and just action platformers. In fact, here's the full list:

  • Arcus Odyssey
  • Beast Wrestler
  • Dino Land
  • El Viento
  • Exile
  • Final Zone
  • Gaiares
  • Granada
  • Sol-Deace
  • Traysia
  • Valis: The Fantasm Soldier
  • Valis 3

The cartridge itself will be available sometime in 2022, but in the meantime you can watch its trailer:
