Evercade's New Cartridge-Based Arcade Machine Is Up For Preorder At Amazon

Here is a 192-word summary of the news article: Evercade's new Taito Bartop Arcade is now available for preorder on Amazon for $260. The miniature countertop arcade machine is the third in the Evercade Alpha lineup, following Mega Man and Street Fighter editions that have been sold out since early 2025. The Taito version comes preloaded with 10 classic Taito games, including Bubble Bobble, Space Invaders, and Rastan. The Evercade Alpha offers a cartridge-based retro gaming platform with support for over 150 arcade games and 400+ console games across its various cartridge collections. While the Taito theme may not appeal to everyone, the Alpha's versatility and build quality make it an appealing option for arcade enthusiasts. It features an 8-inch IPS screen, customizable controls, and the ability to connect a variety of wired or wireless controllers. For those looking to access the Evercade library at a lower price point, Blaze Entertainment also offers Evercade handheld and home console models for $130. Additionally, the company has several new cartridge collections scheduled for release in the coming months, covering franchises like Taito, NeoGeo, Rare, Activision, and more.
