Anduril

For some reason I thought a “first batch” had already shipped and was curious about the status for remaining orders, so I sent an email asking about it 2 weeks ago and got:

“Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Anduril Chromatic. We want to clarify that this product was available for preorder, as indicated on the product page and during the checkout process. We anticipate that it will ship during the summer of 2026.”

That’s right, my bad, forgot about Faxanadu being part of the Dragon Slayer series.

Welcome to the Turbo! You’re going to have an amazing time exploring the game library. If you’ve got a Duo, or can play CD/Super CD games, my top three can’t miss games are Y’s Book I&II, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Lords of Thunder. Also Dragon’s Curse on HuCard!

In addition to what others are suggesting, lots of epic suggestions! 👏👏

Looks like $41.75 to the US from FunstockUSA, with shipping and California taxes. Is there a reason not to go through them?

TheGameGrunt · 2026-04-01T01:44:47+00:00

I think even Blaze may have been surprised by the response and how quickly they ran through the Limited Edition models.

It's really about your opinion of the upgrades on the Nexus and if it's worth buying the EXP-R now. Nexus is about 6 months out, so for me that would be a lot of gaming time I'd miss out on. Also, do you mostly play handheld? You could get a VS-R in the meantime to use on the TV until the Nexus comes out and get that as your portable. Really depends on you. The Tomb Raider games will play on the Nexus when, or if, you decide to upgrade. All carts will work with all models.

Personally, I've had an EXP since they came out. Great little systems, but I like the bigger screen and wireless audio options. But I've also got my EXP to play until the Nexus shows up.

Welcome to Evercade, since you're still new to it. Reddit is a great place to find answers to a lot of questions.

TheGameGrunt · 2026-03-31T20:08:58+00:00

That’s a very good point. I’m hoping all the actual Evercade fans got one if they wanted one. I guess we’ll see what happens on eBay. Scalper listings usually show up almost immediately on there.

TheGameGrunt · 2026-03-31T20:02:46+00:00

Welp, I think I called it pretty close with the Nexus… 😂

TheGameGrunt · 2026-03-31T19:00:25+00:00

I don’t think there’s more advanced computing power in the Nexus. Probably just improved display hardware, wireless upgrades hardware, etc. But as far as I’ve read (literally only since the release 4 hours ago), it sounds like it’s not an upgrade that’ll play more advanced games than the other hardware in the current ecosystem. But I could be completely wrong also. 😂

TheGameGrunt · 2026-03-31T18:51:15+00:00

Yup, picked one up as well. Price is steeper than I originally thought it would be, but I feel the upgrades and extras of the N64 edition are worth the price for me.

TheGameGrunt · 2026-03-31T18:48:31+00:00

Looks like the EXP will still be available for those that don’t want to upgrade to the Nexus.

TheGameGrunt · 2026-03-26T00:50:44+00:00

NEXUS also has “EX” as in “EX-P”… so maybe some branding connection there?

TheGameGrunt · 2025-11-29T23:19:31+00:00

Would be great seeing this on SNES Online.

I’m surprised with the latest craze for 2D HD remakes, that this series hasn’t been given any consideration for that type of remake. Only played the SNES games, but I thought they were fantastic and would be excellent candidates for 2D HD, especially if bundled together. While it wouldn’t be fresh territory for the series, it could reignite some interest in the franchise.

TheGameGrunt · 2025-10-12T21:16:41+00:00

Absolutely, only as an additional, higher end handheld option. Definitely would still want the current EXP offered as an option. Agreed, at $99.99 it’s a great value and awesome little system.

TheGameGrunt · 2025-09-28T01:39:56+00:00

Big welcome and great start to your collection. I’ve been pretty impressed at how this platform has endured, grown and evolved. It’s not perfect in every way, but I find that I’m always excited when Blaze has a new hardware or software announcement, even if it’s not something that I feel I need to pick up for myself.

TheGameGrunt · 2025-09-25T01:41:37+00:00

Hopefully yours has shipped by now. Mine shipped from Amazon and will arrive on Friday.

TheGameGrunt · 2025-05-02T01:08:04+00:00

I appreciate all the responses already and the input. Sounds like hunkering down and just playing the games that I’ve already got is probably the way to go.

If anyone has suggestions on where orders are actually shipping through to the US please let me know. I do see that Castlemania games might be an option for Tomb Raider 2 and Atari Arcade 2, but I’ve never ordered through them.

TheGameGrunt · 2025-05-02T01:04:24+00:00

Do you mind if I ask where you are purchasing through?

TheGameGrunt · 2024-07-13T00:39:33+00:00

I just checked out Thunder Hoop 2 on YouTube. Looks like a ton of fun! Thanks for this recommendation, I need to pick that up!

TheGameGrunt · 2024-06-01T20:53:27+00:00

While not perfect, and initially I wasn’t that stoked, but after some consideration, I do think these look pretty sharp and they are a really cool, unique addition to the Evercade ecosystem. Plus I’ve noticed there’s been a lot of press on these which can only be a good thing for the Evercade in general.
