The box mockup has their name in the bottom left corner (where the Nintendo seal of quality style Starburst is)
So I think they are in fact the folks releasing Aero 2.

I bought 'Glover' for N64 for $10 out of the clearance bin of a KB Toys. I played it quite a bit, because I had few games then, but it's not great. It's a very poorly designed game. I AM excited to see 64-bit game on the Evercade though.

It's a great idea for a game and Glover makes for a cute mascot, but I agree that my memories of the game are that it's pretty rubbish. Maybe I will like it better with digital controls instead of analog, like with Mario 64 DS.

Indeed. And the circus-like levels were new for platformers. Maybe you're right. I'm definitely going to try it!
It's also worth noting that 'Glover' was announced a couple of years ago for most platforms, but once again we get it on a compilation for much less (physically). Nice.

Sunsoft Collection 2 and Piko Collection 4 are now available for preorder at VGP.
I know Blaze confirmed 'Glover' was the "64-bit" version, but it still doesn't look like it the N64 version. It looks like the PlayStation version. Unless "64-bit" version meant Windows 64-bit?

Maybe their n64 emulator doesn't do anti-aliasing (or doesn't scale it up?)

Possibly. But if it is the N64 version, and this is how their emulator works, that doesn't make me very excited for other N64 games. I still think they're being coil saying "64-bit" instead of N64.

I doubt they're allowed to use the original console name in their marketing without permission e.g., the Lynx collection.

They say 16 and 32 bit instead of Snes/Genesis/PS1.

Then they really need to work on their 64-bit emulator, because it definitely looks "32-bit."

Blaze released a tentative roadmap for 2024. 10 new unannounced games, but also four "new hardware" options. Their quotes, not mine. I'm guessing bundles, maybe special editions? This will be interesting.

Also may be more super pockets.
Possibly new controller options with analog now that they are touching 64

Yeah I think both are really likely. Though the Super Pockets are under a different branding, aren't they? If they do another major console and/or handheld redesign already, I think a lot of people will be upset and bail on them.

Well we got our answers for the new hardware this morning: https://www.youtube....
Sub-dubbed the "R" units, basically they're new color schemes of the VS and EXP models at lower prices. However, there are removed features, like the EXP losing the Capcom games and its mini-HDMI port and the VS only coming with one controller instead of two (but still a pack-in cart to be named later).
So, essentially, this is for new people to Evercade versus those that are already in. Not a bad idea overall, in my opinion. I don't know if everyone will like the new color scheme though.

I've never once used the hdmi-mini out on it or the original evercade. I don't think I even have a hdmi-mini cable. Maybe the Capcom license also came to an end, or maybe they are expanding into carts. Either way, I already had all the Capcom games on the EXP elsewhere so it was a little pricier than I wanted it to be. We'll see whether I pick this one up.
For the VS, the Technos Arcade Collection 1 was a pack-in with the premium pack. With that game being discontinued in June, the VS would need a re-sku anyway.

I'm more concerned about the quality of recent software than cheaper hardware, though I agree with ben that I have very little use for EXP HDMI out or Capcom games. The Tomb Raider Giga Cart is exactly the opposite of what I want from them.

It may not be what you want, but it is a pretty big license that will probably draw in a significant number of new buyers.
Personally I really enjoyed the variety of what we got last year, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ready for some more Arcade carts

More hands and more games are good for the platform. It's just disappointing that they feel the need to adapt more recent, larger games when there are still so many great untapped 2D titles.

Obviously a big chunk of what they put out depends on the licenses they are able to get. Unfortunately, a lot of great games are locked in the vaults of companies who don't want to get out of bed without a guarantee of millions of dollars.
I agree that there are still hundreds of great 2D games out there, but I disagree with your premise that adapting more early 3D era titles is somehow less important. If anything I think the early 3D games have been far more overlooked in terms of modern accessibility.
For 2D, we have dozens of mini-consoles and handhelds covering all kinds of systems from the 70's to the 90's, including home consoles, computers, handhelds, and even arcade. There are services like Antstream that have hundreds of these games available. Companies like Atari, Capcom, Namco, Konami, Sega, SNK and others have released countless compilations of their games on current systems. The Arcade Archives series is still going strong.
For early 3D though?
We got PS1 downloads on PS3, which dried up to all but a trickle on PS4/5. We got the glorious failure that was the PlayStation Classic. We got a handful of N64 games on Wii and Wii U virtual console and now on Switch Online. There are almost no Saturn games converted to modern consoles or PC apart from a few Saturn Tribute releases and the Panzer Dragoon port included as an unlockable bonus in Orta (still available to buy on Xbox online store).
I would say early 3D games is a far more under-served market than 2D. Granted that could also be because even the best early 3D is a bit rough to look at compared to good 2D sprites, so maybe the actual demand for it is smaller, but is just as important an era in gaming and deserves better representation than it currently gets.
