Two collector limited editions are sitting in front of you, and they couldn't be more different. One is a single handheld adventure with a Limited Run Games x Crunchyroll badge. The other is an Evercade cartridge that bundles multiple Doom games and map packs into one box. The decision comes down to whether you want a focused collectible or a bigger stack of playable games.
Quick Verdict
Choose Hime's Quest if you want a distinct limited-run action-adventure for a classic handheld library. Choose the Evercade 11 The Doom Collection if you already own an Evercade system and want the most game content packed into a single cartridge. Both are brand-new, but they serve different play styles and collections. If you're choosing between the two, think about whether you want a single centerpiece or a cartridge that expands a playable library.

Where Each Product Wins
- Hime's Quest wins for handheld collectors: it's a sealed action-adventure from the Limited Run Games x Crunchyroll pairing, with a US/Canada region code.

Product Notes
Hime's Quest Limited Run Games x Crunchyroll, Sealed Edition
If you're building a Nintendo Game Boy Color library, this is the more distinctive shelf piece. It's a single action-adventure game from the Limited Run Games x Crunchyroll collaboration, with a US/Canada region code. The crossover branding and the factory-sealed condition make it a stronger conversation starter. The trade-off is that this is one game rather than a multi-title compilation, so it's aimed at collectors who want a focused addition rather than a big playable library on one card. If you want something that stands out on a shelf and you aren't worried about having dozens of games on one card, this is the one.
Evercade 11 The Doom Collection - 9 Games Limited Collectors Edition Sealed
This is the pick if you want more playable content in a single cartridge. The cartridge includes DOOM, DOOM II, seven bonus map packs, and a full-color manual, all in a retro-style case. It's region-free and works with Evercade handhelds, Arcade, and home console systems, so it's a flexible addition to an existing Evercade setup. The limitation is exactly that: you need an Evercade system to use it, and this is a compilation rather than a single-title release. If you're not already in the Evercade ecosystem, Hime's Quest might appeal more as a standalone collectible. If you already have an Evercade system, this cartridge gives you an immediate library expansion without needing to track down separate releases.
Final Choice by Use Case
Pick Hime's Quest when you want a crossover title that stands apart from your Evercade library. Pick the Evercade 11 The Doom Collection when you have an Evercade handheld, Arcade, or home console and want the most games in one cartridge. Both are valid collector limited editions; the right choice depends on which side of your collection needs attention.
