The Evercade Nexus is here, and Evercade just cranked the handheld game up to 11! In this review, I’m taking a close look at the new flagship handheld, including its gorgeous 5.89-inch IPS display, dual analog sticks, upgraded performance, TATE mode, Wi-Fi 6, wireless audio, EverSync multiplayer, 5,000mAh battery, and support for the entire Evercade cartridge library. Plus, we’ve got the included Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack featuring two N64 classics! But is the Nexus the ultimate way to play Evercade games, or has Evercade finally gone too far into premium handheld territory? Let’s fire it up, take it for a spin, and find out if this new handheld deserves a spot in your collection!
The Sony PSP was one of the coolest handhelds ever made, and in this video I’m taking a look at my Sony PSP game collection and celebrating what made this system so special! With its gorgeous widescreen display, impressive graphics, killer sound, and a library packed with everything from major PlayStation franchises to seriously overlooked hidden gems, the PSP felt like carrying a tiny PS2 in your pocket. From God of War and Metal Gear Solid to Lumines, Patapon, RPGs, racing games, and all kinds of unexpected goodness, there’s a LOT to love here. So let’s dig through the collection and remember why the PSP absolutely rocked!
Get a hands-on look at the upcoming Evercade Nexus Prototype, Blaze’s biggest handheld yet. Launching this October for $200 USD, the Nexus features a bright 5.89″ IPS display, dual analog sticks, front-facing stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth audio, TATE mode, and full compatibility with all 80+ Evercade cartridges featuring over 700 games. I also check out the included Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack, and compare it to previous Evercade handhelds to see if this is their best system yet.

Sony’s handheld lineup feels like a family reunion where everyone showed up with wildly different personalities and one guy brought a Tamagotchi from 1999 just to keep things spicy.
PSP (The Cool Older Sibling)
The PlayStation Portable walked into 2005 like it owned the place. Sleek, shiny, and blasting full-on console vibes from a device that fit in your hoodie pocket. It played movies, music, and games like it was auditioning to replace your entire entertainment center. Also introduced the world to the UMD disc, aka “tiny frisbee of destiny.” Loading times? Yes. Style? Immaculate.
PS Vita (The Underrated Genius)
Then came the PlayStation Vita, the kid who brought a supercomputer to a group project and still got ignored. Gorgeous OLED screen, dual analog sticks (finally!), and enough power to make you say, “Wait, this is handheld?!” Sony supported it like a New Year’s resolution… briefly and with fading enthusiasm. Meanwhile, indie devs adopted it like a cozy art house café, and it quietly became a cult legend.
PlayStation Portal (The Remote-Control Cousin)
The PlayStation Portal is that cousin who doesn’t bring their own snacks but eats yours while streaming Netflix from your account. It’s not a standalone handheld, it’s basically your PS5 on a very long invisible leash. When your Wi-Fi is strong, it feels like magic. When it’s not… it feels like interpretive dance made of lag.
PocketStation (The Weird Little Goblin)
And finally, the PocketStation. This thing looks like a calculator that wandered into a JRPG and never left. It was a memory card… that also played games… that also had a tiny screen… because why not? Peak “let’s experiment and see what happens” energy. Honestly, it walked so modern companion apps could run.
The Vibe Check
Together, they form a chaotic saga:
PSP: “I am the future.”
Vita: “I was the future.”
Portal: “I borrow the future.”
PocketStation: “I am… confusion, but adorable.”
Sony didn’t just make handhelds. They made a whole cinematic universe of ambition, innovation, and the occasional “wait, what exactly is this?” energy.

Experience 3D gaming like it’s supposed to be—no goofy glasses, no headaches, just pure depth-popping goodness. In this video, I dive into the Abxylute 3D One, the world’s first glasses-free 3D PC handheld. We’re talking crisp stereoscopic visuals, PC game compatibility and whether this thing is the next big leap in handheld gaming or just a wild science-fair flex.
I’ll show you how the 3D effect looks, how games run, what works, what… doesn’t, and whether this futuristic little gadget is worth your cash. If you’re into retro, PC gaming, weird tech, or just love a good gimmick that actually works, this one’s for you.
The Xbox is the gigantic, neon-lit refrigerator of the gaming world—massive, powerful, and somehow always humming in the living room like it’s plotting to overtake your entertainment center. Microsoft built it with one philosophy in mind: “More power. Also… would you like Game Pass with that?”
Owning an Xbox means having access to more games than you could play in three lifetimes, but still scrolling for 45 minutes before saying, “Eh… I’ll just replay Halo again.” And if you do play Halo, you instinctively slam your fists on the controller like it’s 2007 and Master Chief personally requires your emotional support.
Sure, the naming conventions are a fever dream (Xbox One, One X, Series X, Series S, X-but-not-that-X), but that’s part of the charm. Xbox is the platform that says, “We know you’re confused, but here—play everything ever made, in 4K, at 120fps. And seriously… just get Game Pass.”
Atari is basically the cool grandparent of video games — the one who still insists “back in my day, this was cutting-edge” while showing you a square that’s supposed to be a spaceship.
In the ‘70s and ‘80s, Atari was the name. They invented fun you could plug into your TV, brought arcade hits home, and gave us joysticks that doubled as medieval torture devices. Games were simple back then — you weren’t rescuing princesses or exploring open worlds, you were just a dot trying not to die from slightly faster dots.
Atari’s graphics looked like modern art drawn by a calculator, but somehow it worked. Pong? Two rectangles and a pixel. And yet, entire family feuds were born from that thing.
Then came the crash of 1983, when Atari released E.T., a game so bad it practically buried the entire industry — literally, in a desert. But hey, legends never die. Today, Atari lives on as that retro logo you see on t-shirts, reminding everyone of a time when your imagination had better graphics than your console.
Evercade’s out here doing the Lord’s work—making retro gaming affordable enough that you can still pay rent and relive your pixelated glory days. Honestly, they might just be the best bargain in retro gaming—like a time machine on a budget! INFO: https://evercade.co.uk
