    Yes, I know. It's blasphemous. I had one many years ago but it just didn't have enough games I liked to justify keeping it around. Neat little system and it should have been a bigger deal than it was back in the day for sure. 

    Throw it in the trash-bin and 

    reload its software on emu...

     

    Since emu is making it ‘everlasting’...

    Ever... c...???

    Do I see a grin back there...?

    I don't see anything as saving face or the like. Some people have zero interest in things where others are all in. I think this is one of the cases. Does it suck for all those that are excited? Sure does but that's not gonna change anything in the meantime.

    do I see a (greenish)grin... ?

     

    ... somewhere far back there,

    or just... a smile of catching the fish, not knowing if its ever eatable?

    I'd word it moreso that the game was able to attract players

    to the hardware

    who previously

    wouldn't have been interested in it - (...)

    That’s what I’ll define as a retro-smash-hit...

We didn't really get either, so it was more a firm press of the index finger against the snout.

     

    It's a bit cyclic at this point, but I feel the repetition is warranted - when you're doing development full time the requirements both for schedule and sales are extremely strict. We did not need crazy numbers to do another project right off the bat (and not even necessarily on the same hardware), but we needed far more than we got.

    You’re so   sober...

     

    ... You’re aware your company has released a title for a home-console 

    ... 30 years (!!!)  after its official discontinuation...?

     

    Its a smash-hit.

    I actually got the steam version of Rikki & Vikki and feel in love with it, but didn't love the input lag (it wasn't too bad, I'm just sensitive to that kind of stuff and wanted a reason to get a 7800) so I bought one, then got that one custom controller that looked like an nes controller, then got a 2nd one, plus the 7800 itself, and the game. I ended up spending 300+ just for me to be able to play 1 game in the definitive way.. Worth it!

    Rikki and Vikki is 5/5 and there’re tons of cool 7800-stuff to get your hands on!

    The Evercade is the only system (right now, in any case) that has the Lynx collections. Since this appears to be marketed as a niche retro gaming system, I'd rather see them focus on collections like that which aren't widely available on other platforms. That would certainly attract greater interest from this specific market segment, if not the industry as a whole.

    Ok, fair ‘nough

     

    Which other niche labels, games should be released for the Evercade?

    Why shouldn’t Namco just release the remainder of titles for the Evercade; it would give them more money in the purse...
