Well, they revealed it:

https://evercade.co.uk/vs/

Overall, I am very interested in this and will be picking it up. Not too keen on the Wi-Fi aspects, or the addition of additional shoulder buttons (which alludes to Evercade VS-only games, as the Evercade portable only has two shoulder buttons), but being 100% compatible with the Evercade games is a major plus to me, with the multiplayer aspect as a nice bonus for me.

Oh, and being able to plug in two carts at once is a perk for me. ;-)

I love this - it looks so old-school. They should have released the system in this format in the first place!

Too bad about the Namco carts. I already have MANY copies of Pac-Man/Galaga/etc, but maybe some younger gamers do not.

Love the design! Two carts at once! Is that a red light?

Excited about the controllers too. I always thought the Evercade was very comfortable.

Firmware and licensing could fix the Namco bit at a later date...

Love the aesthetics, and if the controllers are anything like the system, I am all for it!

Somewhere Tiger Electronics is saying "hey we already tried that with the Game.com!"

Amusingly, one of the concepts of the Nintendo DSi design had dual card slots...

Recently read an interview on the Evercade VS, where the developers mentioned that among the systems that both the handheld and console versions can support is the N64. This made me think, what N64 games DIDN'T absolutely require the analog stick? Other than Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Killer Instinct Gold, I can't think of any...
