I don't know. It's already a mirecle™️ pdubs only created one... Regarding the lack of connection with the original game, it's not that surprising to me and I think we will see more of this from Atari in the future. As we discussed before many times, Atari franchises didn't evolve regularly like Nintendo ones did. So it's very difficult to envision what would a Yars' Revenge game look like in 2024 if other games in the series had regularly been released for the past 40 years... It would have probably evolved quite a lot from the OG, great but basic formula, even though I agree it wouldn't be a Metroid-like. That's why I'm not entirely positive about the game; WayForward just picked the genre they master the most (or Atari asked them to), which is a bit lazy imho. And it was done to death, so I'm personally not excited at all, especially since I don't like the anime style either. WayForward is a talented developer but I don't like everything they've done. But using Advance Wars as an example is dumb since it's a remaster; the content is basically unchanged from the original Intelligent Systems games, and only the art style is new. It's OK to dislike it, but it really corresponds to WayForward's style so there's no reason they might have "improved" since, on the contrary.

They've been making games for 30 years, you know? 🙄 Also, I hope you're aware there are already 3 topics about that game. 😑

It's a Metroid-like game so I kinda doubt it, but who knows.

Especially the "designed by Steve Wozniak", which is wrong according to Wozniak himself (and I guess he would know).

Also it's important to remember that the EXP, like the OG Evercade and the NeoGeo Mini, uses mini-HDMI which makes it difficult to connect to a TV unless you happen to own such an uncommon cable these days. I personally prefer handhelds so like I said, I never cared for it, and I assume that most of the gamers that enjoy playing on the TV bought a VS anyway. Moreover, the (arcade) Capcom games are also included in the Capcom Arcade Stadium compilations available almost everywhere. I like the idea of playing Mercs in TATE mode, though, but I wish the EXP had better battery. I don't think I'll get the EXP-R however, since I tend to play Evercade games on the Super Pocket anyway.

I think the main reason behind the EXP-R is that the deal with Capcom expired, simple as that. But instead of keeping on releasing the exact same system minus the games, they thought it would be less confusing to make it more "different" - hence the new color and the removal of the HDMI port that was not used very much (I myself only used it once for my review). Absolutely. I don't know if it had been said here already, but Evercade carts are just SD cards in a fancy shell. That's why the Giga Carts don't cost that much more.

To be fair, you're probably the one that posted it in the most relevant section.

There were already two topics about it:

I wasn't sure I understood Karri properly but indeed, the Analogue Pocket doesn't dump carts, it's not like the 2600+ or the RetroN systems. That's the whole point of the FPGA, behaving the closest to the original hardware, even though there are necessarily differences (for starters because the RAM can't be recreated in the FPGA).

For the EXP, sure. I don't see how the VS is cheaper though. It's now €109 while the OG similar SKU (one cart and one controller) was €99.

I blame COVID.

Do you think these games would play well with Evercade controllers though? Or maybe it means one of the new hardware will be a traditional controllers with two analog sticks.

The Brainies was developed in France but Power Piggs, for instance, was published by Titus but wasn't developed in France.

Wow, they dare using a screenshot from the TMNT beat 'em up to tout multiplayer... 😰 I've seen their Pitfall wannabe and it's hilariously ugly. The Amico games look incredibly polished in comparison.

Licensing has no relation to your Switch's firmware, though. If you buy a game, it should still be accessible the way it was, especially if it's in physical form. Don't forget to read the terms of use (if there are some) though, because it's technically possible but it never happens except for games as a service and online heavy games.
