You're on fire @Joe!

I placed them via the AtariXP site too. They use Shopify for their processing platform so I got my notices automatically through that. YMMV.

FYI - Notices came via the Shopify app and not via email.

A clarification from Blaze via Discord:

I got my shipping notices! I placed two separate orders. The one shipping via UPS is scheduled to arrive 9/8. For the other, I have a tracking number but it says USPS is awaiting the package.

This is cool news for folks intending to order Evercade EXP. However, as someone who has the VS and original handheld already, I don't intend to get an EXP. I'd much rather see these as a cart collection available to all Evercade users. Pack-in cart for the EXP? Great. Built-in games that are only on EXP? Not so much. What do you think?!

The full games list is: 1942 (Arcade version) 1943 (Arcade version) 1944 : The Loop Master (Arcade version) Bionic Commando™ (Arcade version) Captain Commando™ (Arcade version) Commando™ (Arcade version) Final Fight™ (Arcade version) Forgotten Worlds™ (Arcade version) Ghouls ‘n Ghosts™ (Arcade version) Legendary Wings™ (Arcade version) MERCS (Arcade version) Street Fighter II’: Hyper Fighting (Arcade version) Strider (Arcade version) Vulgus™ (Arcade version) Mega Man (8-bit) Mega Man 2 (8-bit) Mega Man X (16-bit) Breath of Fire (16-bit)

Huge announcement for the upcoming Evercade EXP. Full announcement here: https://evercade.co.uk/capcom-is-coming-built-in-to-evercade-exp

Here's a trailer for Warlords. The acrylic top looks kinda neat! In other XP news, someone may have received a shipping notification for the first three carts...

My only question is this: Why aren't we playing the 7800 port?

Congratulations @Marco1019 ! Well done!

Crushing start @Joe! #ReturnoftheKing

From Patrick Schroeder - a contract employee with Atari working on all things VCS - this isn't a confirmed game. He notes that it uses the Unreal Engine which doesn't currently play well with the VCS. Strange that the dev is representing it coming. We'll mark this as "rumor mill" and keep an eye on it!

Thanks also to @Marco1019 for getting the word out about this challenge! Congratulations to tripled on his big win! And a big congratulations to the rest of the Squad!

For this challenge we're taking on the newest entry in Atari's Recharged Series: Yars: Recharged! Yars: Recharged is a modern take on Yars' Revenge, the 1982 smash hit for the Atari 2600. Programmed by the incomparable Howard Scott Warshaw, Yars’ Revenge went on to become the best-selling original title for the platform. This is quite a legacy to live up to. At its core, Yars: Recharged is a twin-stick shooter. It borrows elements of Yars’ Revenge and combines it with a dash of “bullet hell” and a slick future retro aesthetic to deliver a fresh take on HSW’s classic. Can you defeat the Qotile for the highest score!?
