Nifty, Blaze Entertainment’s Evercade platform (a retro-oriented physical game ecosystem) just announced what is, presumably, the first in several collections featuring Rare (Donkey Kong Country, Battletoads, Killer Instinct, etc). First collection is due in November, heavily biased towards the company’s Spectrum ZX offerings, but still giving fans a pair of Battletoads titles (NES and Arcade), RC Pro-AM, Cobra Triangle, and Conker’s Pocket Tales.
Rare is one of the best-known names in British game development, and in this collection for Evercade you'll explore 12 all-time favourites.

I will be curious to see how future collections shape up. I’ve been following the platform for years, and I’ve yet to see the games exceed the PlayStation or Game Boy Advance in technical ability. Even though Evercade hyped the Piko Collection 4 release of Glover as the “first 64-bit game” on the platform…it’s pretty obvious to me that it’s the Playstation version, not the N64 version.
If nothing else, hopefully the appearance of Rare opens up other Microsoft Studios options, like Activision and id Software appearing on this system.
