Evercade Partners With Xbox For Two Major Releases & DOOM Nexus Handheld

We've spoken before about how much we love Evercade here at Pure Xbox, and they've clearly been working very closely with Microsoft and Team Xbox in recent months to launch a series of Xbox-owned titles on their platform.

The latest two have just been properly unveiled after teases earlier in the year, and they're the DOOM Collection and the Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie Collection, both of which are launching on October 30th for £24.99 / $29.99.

As you may recall, Banjo-Kazooie was already released with unique features as part of the Rare Super Pocket recently:

The idea here is that you buy the cartridge you want (all of which feature a colour manual), and then you can play the game on any of the Evercade-branded devices, including the home console, multiple handhelds and the bar-top arcade machine known as the Evercade Alpha. Your progress then carries with the cartridge as well.

We're going to share the trailers and some extra details for these releases down below, but we also wanted to mention the DOOM Edition Evercade Nexus - a branded handheld that's limited to 3000 units and going on sale on Friday, August 7th at 10am ET / 3pm BST. The Nexus is an upcoming handheld device from Evercade that was already available for pre-order prior to today, but the DOOM Edition looks particularly amazing and we're certainly tempted to grab one!
