Evercade’s new handheld has a larger screen and dual thumbsticks for 3D games
After releasing smaller versions of its handhelds, Evercade has announced a new portable console called the Nexus featuring a large 5.89-inch screen. That’s larger than the 4.3-inch screen on Evercade’s previous handheld, the EXP-R. The Nexus’ display also delivers a small bump in resolution from 800×480 pixels to 840×512, and a switch from a 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9. The handheld will be available for preorder starting on April 1st for $199.99, and is expected to ship in October 2026.
As with previous versions of Evercade’s handhelds, including its Super Pocket lineup, the Nexus doesn’t have an app store, won’t play ROMs, and isn’t compatible with original game carts or media from companies like Nintendo and Sega. It instead works with a collection of proprietary cartridges from Evercade that each feature multiple titles. The company says over 700 officially-licensed retro games are now available through a library of over 80 cartridges. The Nexus will come with a cartridge featuring enhanced versions of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie that will take advantage of the new 16:9 display.
Other upgrades on the Nexus include dual analog thumb sticks, support for wireless headphones, a quad-core 1.5Ghz processor, and a larger 5,000mAh battery good for over five hours of gameplay. Evercade is also introducing a new wireless multiplayer feature called EverSync that lets players temporarily share games with other Nexus handhelds so only one cartridge is needed.
