I’ve ignored Evercade for years… but I finally gave it a proper go.
In this video, I unbox and test the Evercade VS-R for the very first time — a modern retro gaming console built around physical cartridges. As someone who loves hunting games in places like CEX and building a real collection, I wanted to see if this system actually makes sense… or if it’s just another gimmick.
Is Evercade a genuine alternative to retro collecting?
Or is it something completely different?
This is my honest first impressions after getting hands-on with the system.
🎮 What I cover:
Evercade VS-R unboxing
Setup and first impressions
Gameplay testing
Controller feel and performance
What surprised me (good and bad)
🕹️ About Evercade
The Evercade VS-R is a modern retro console that uses officially licensed cartridges featuring classic arcade, console, and home computer games. It’s designed for plug-and-play simplicity — but does it deliver the real retro experience?

One word of advice, make sure you use the 'eject cartridge ' function when removing games. There has been reports of games being corrupted from hot swaps.
