RecalCards are getting a brand-new collection... and it seriously packs a punch

RecalCards are back with a brand-new series of visuals, and once again, the bar is set high. Available now in the Recalbox shop, these collectible and functional cards—thanks to the Card Reader—are sure to bring back memories for more than a few of you!

What is a RecalCard?

For those discovering them: RecalCards are rigid PCB-format cards that faithfully recreate the look and feel of the game media that shaped our childhoods. NES, Super Nintendo, Mega Drive... each card is a carefully crafted tribute to an iconic format, designed by and for enthusiasts.

Simply insert a RecalCard into your Card Reader and Recalbox will ask which game you want to assign to it. Once done, every time you insert that same RecalCard, the assigned game will automatically launch—just like in the old days! Remove the RecalCard and the game will automatically close. We told you: just like back then.

What the new series brings

This new collection really delivers in terms of variety, diving straight into pop culture: Neo Geo cartridges, VHS tapes, CPC audio cassettes, floppy disks, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, PC Engine—with their iconic Japanese manuals on the back… If you're a fan of the latter, you'll be pleased to discover that the new Card Reader faceplate is dedicated to the PC Engine.

Where to get them?

The new collection is available on the Recalbox shop. As a reminder, these RecalCards are collectible and, above all, fully functional. If you'd like to equip your Recalbox with a Card Reader, you can find it right here.
