Evercade’s Nexus DOOM Edition sold out in a day
All 3,000 units of the DOOM Edition Evercade Nexus sold out within a day of pre-orders opening. The DOOM Collection cartridge itself is not limited and remains available.
Three thousand DOOM-themed Evercade Nexus consoles went on sale Thursday morning, and by the end of the day they were gone. The Limited Edition Nexus DOOM Edition, which I covered at announcement, was exclusive to Funstock at $249.99: a DOOM-shelled Nexus with a numbered certificate, a big-box version of The DOOM Collection cartridge, a hard shell case, a comic, a keyring and a double-sided poster. The listing now reads sold out, well ahead of the October 30 ship date.
A 3,000-unit run vanishing in hours tells you where Evercade sits with collectors now. These consoles started as a budget curiosity; today a themed shell with a certificate moves like a Limited Run drop, and anyone who hesitated on Thursday is off to the aftermarket. Worth being clear about what was actually limited, though: the shell and the box. The DOOM Collection cartridge, all nine campaigns of it, is a standard $29.99 release that anyone can still pre-order, and the regular Nexus is not going anywhere. Nobody who missed the drop loses access to a single game.
I got an order in before the listing flipped, so POCG will have one on the bench when they ship. The review will treat it as what it is: a standard Nexus in a very good outfit, judged on the hardware every buyer can still get, with the collector extras noted for the 3,000 people who got one.
