Evercade Announces Renovation Collection 1 – Coming Early 2022

Evercade is delighted to announce another new collection for the Evercade family of systems, and a new publisher!

Renovation Collection 1 will bring twelve incredible 16-bit games from Japanese publisher Telenet and its US subsidiary Renovation.

With the collection to be labeled number 23, this will be the first cartridge in our 2022 lineup with the release scheduled for early 2022. Pre-orders for this cartridge open in November 2021 following the launch of the Evercade VS.

These twelve titles were never released in Europe during their original run and so this is a first for the UK and EU to have non-imported physical versions of these 16-bit titles.

The games list is:

• Arcus Odyssey
• Beast Wrestler
• Dino Land
• El Viento
• Exile
• Final Zone
• Gaiares
• Granada
• Sol-Deace
• Traysia
• Valis: The Fantasm Soldier
• Valis 3

Telenet was originally founded in 1983 and went on to produce incredible titles for the 8 and 16-bit era with their internal development studios like Wolf Team. They were responsible for some of the most well-known and loved titles of that era of Japanese gaming including the Valis series and distributed many other games in the US under the Renovation name.

With these titles, you will get to experience and physically own some incredible rare games from the 16-bit era. If you were to purchase the original version of these titles, complete in the box, it would set you back over $1400!

We’ve really enjoyed and listened to the feedback from the Evercade community and following the success of other carts, some of our most requested games have been shoot ’em ups, JRPGs, and more rare titles. We believe this fits the bill nicely and will be a great start to the new year! We look forward to you getting your hands on these games and keep an eye out for more promotional material and box art for this cartridge later this year.
