LETCHWORTH, UK: Blaze Entertainment is excited to announce Visco Arcade 1 and Visco Arcade 2, two brand-new additions to the Evercade arcade cartridge line. These collections bring together sixteen arcade titles from the catalogue of renowned Japanese developer and publisher Visco Corporation, now published by the French independent retro games publisher, Pixelheart.
Spanning shoot 'em ups, racing games, fighting games, sports titles, and arcade curiosities, these two collections celebrate the variety and creativity that made Visco a distinctive presence in arcades throughout the 1990s. Across both cartridges, players can experience games originally released on arcade hardware and the NEOGEO platform. Like all Evecade arcade collections, fans will have access to full dipswitch controls as well as the option to use arcade or console versions of the NEOGEO-based titles.
Each cartridge includes a full-colour manual featuring game information, controls, and historical details, helping players discover the stories behind these arcade classics. They are compatible with the full Evercade ecosystem, meaning you can play these on Super Pocket consoles, Evercade Alphas and everything in between with the same cartridge and access to your saved games.
Both cartridges will be part of the purple-coloured arcade game line. Visco Arcade 1 and Visco Arcade 2 will each be available for £19.99, $29.99, and €24.99, releasing on August 28th, 2026.
These cartridges are compatible with all Evercade hardware, including Evercade Alpha, and are also fully playable on HyperMegaTech! Super Pocket consoles, bringing arcade gaming to players at home and on the go.
“Visco's catalogue is packed with hidden gems and arcade favourites that deserve to be experienced by a new generation of players,” said Blaze Entertainment CEO Andrew Byatt. “These two collections showcase the incredible variety of games the company produced, and we're excited to bring them together on Evercade for the first time.”

Notes
Evercade was first released in 2020 as a handheld device with ten gaming cartridges of classic console licenses. Since then, it has grown to several other hardware devices (listed below) and now has over 70 physical cartridge collections and more than 600 games across the entire ecosystem.
The Evercade EXP-R handheld gaming system is available globally and is available indivudially, bundled with a cartridge.
The Evercade VS-R home console system is currently available worldwide from Amazon and other local retailers. It is available bundled with a cartridge, or on its own with a controller included in each option.
The Evercade Alpha bartop arcade systems are available globally, and each come with 6 built-in CAPCOM games and competition-grade arcade controls, plus full compatibility with all Evercade cartridges. A new version with built-in TAITO games will be released in 2025.
Evercade devices play games via emulation on bespoke cartridges. These physical releases come in a classic clamshell case with a full-colour manual, custom written by Blaze with controls, hints and tips, and interesting facts about the titles and developers.
Evercade emulates a wide range of systems (including 8, 16, 32 and 64-bit console, handhelds, THEC64 and Amiga home computers, plus arcade games), as well as natively run games. It also highlights modern retro games created by indie developers, with support for five decades of gaming.
Evercade cartridges have three distinct colour schemes to highlight their content. Red-coloured boxes feature home console collections from multiple systems across five decades of gaming. Purple indicates Arcade game collections, and Blue is for home computer collections.
In 2023, Blaze Entertainment launched its new brand HyperMegaTech! to provide more retro gaming products aimed at a more casual market. Its first four products, the Super Pocket handheld gaming devices, also come with Evercade cartridge compatibility.
