Evercade In For Higher Prices
By all signs Blaze has done a good job cementing a new console in the videogames market with the Evercade. Since releasing back in 2020, Evercade might have started as a single handheld with a handful of carts, but since then it’s developed into a whole platform with multiple varients of both handheld and home consoles, and a slew of increasingly impressive cart collections. But even the seeming success of the Evercade platform isn’t enough to cease the slow march of price rises.
On the official Evercade website we can read that, due to rising costs, Blaze will be increasing prices on their carts:
‘The standard cart price will now be £19.99/$24.99/€24.99.
The Giga Cart price will change to £24.99/$29.99/€29.99.’
Blaze has said that these price increases will help them ensure higher levels of stock through 2025. These changes will come into effect on the 30th of January; and, given the fact that Blaze has kept prices the same since 2021, it’s perhaps understandable that a price rise is in the future.
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Playing through Neo Dimension Fantasian.
