Evercade Nexus hands-on report — this new handheld might be the perfect retro gaming device

Two simple words sold me on the new Evercade Nexus: Banjo-Kazooie. The new retro handheld from Blaze Entertainment comes with a host of improvements over previous Evercade devices, such as the Evercade EXP-R or the first-generation Evercade, but for me, it’s all about the bear and bird.

Banjo-Kazooie on the Nintendo 64 was the first video game I ever played as a youngster, kickstarting an obsession with gaming that shows no signs of dissipating even as I enter my 30s. The Evercade Nexus, releasing October 30 for $199 / £169, comes bundled with a copy of the Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack (containing the 1998 original and its sequel, Banjo-Tooie). Consider me sold.

I’ve now got my hands on the Evercade Nexus, and have started my umpteenth playthrough of Banjo’s legendary first adventure — I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve 100% completed this classic 64-bit platformer. I still need to put the portable through its paces a little more before I can deliver my full review, but I’m already eager to gush about the Nexus. So, these are my first impressions of the latest Evercade after spending two days with it.

Nexus (w/ Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack): $199 The Evercade Nexus is a handheld device designed to take retro gaming on the go. 89-inch IPS display, dual analogue sticks, and wireless headphone support. It's compatible with more than 80 Evercade cartridges (that's 700+ games), and the Nexus comes bundled with the Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack. Which packs-in a pair of classic 3D platformers on a single cartridge.
