Here is a pure hit of physical-media joy: eight slabs of Neo Geo arcade royalty on one boxed cartridge for twenty quid. Evercade's purple NEOGEO Arcade line has reached its fourth cart, and it is exactly the sort of thing that keeps me banging on about why cartridges still matter in 2026.
The line-up is a proper spread. You get 3 Count Bout, Baseball Stars 2, Blazing Star, Fatal Fury Special, King of the Monsters, Metal Slug 4, Robo Army and The King of Fighters 2002. Metal Slug 4 and KOF 2002 are the obvious headliners, but the one I would tip the wink to the connoisseurs about is Blazing Star, that gorgeous Aicom shmup that costs an absolute fortune to collect for real. Having it here, boxed, for pocket money, is the whole appeal of this format.
Why the cart still wins
This is Cartridge number 22 in the Evercade range, and like the rest it comes in a proper case with a full-colour printed manual full of descriptions, controls and tips. You own it, outright, and it slots into any Evercade machine, the Alpha, the EXP-R and the VS-R, as well as the HyperMegaTech Super Pocket handhelds I keep going on about. Nice touch for the fussier among us: each game has its own dip switches and AES home-console modes, so you can set them up arcade-style or console-style, whichever feels right.
It is a properly licensed SNK release under the Evercade banner, not an emulator you have cobbled together, and that matters. The whole point of the platform is that the games are legit, boxed and yours.
Price and where to get it
It is £19.99 in the UK, $29.99 in the States and €24.99 in Europe, and it came out on the 26th of June, so it is available now rather than something to wait for. Full line-up and stockists are on the official cartridge page, and there is more in the Evercade press release. UK readers, best to route through the "where to buy" links on the official page rather than guessing at retailer URLs.
Eight Neo Geo arcade games, boxed, manual and all, for less than the price of a round. This is exactly why I still buy carts.
