The UK company Blaze Entertainment released the Evercade handheld video game console in 2020, using small ROM cartridges similar in size to those for the Nintendo Game Boy , for access to retro video games. Each cartridge offers anything up to 20 games originally designed for 8-bit or 16-bit consoles that the Evercade emulates, namely the Atari 2600 , Atari 7800 , Atari Lynx , Mattel Intellivision , Nintendo Entertainment System , Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive . The Evercade is rechargeable and offers television output, but like the consoles it emulates it does not have WiFi or touchscreen capability. At launch, 10 ROM cartridges were available, and as well as offering number of games including some very popular classic titles, they also offer the ability to save game progress. The Evercade received favourable reviews for its emulation abilities, but there was some criticism of the button mapping.
