Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

What Vita games will play best on PlayStation TV?

That's a fun question to conjure with as I try and think how something will look blown up from a small OLED screen to a whacking great 32" or 40" plus screen thanks to PlayStation TV. The current leader of the pack has to be Killzone Mercenary with the improved scale making it easier to spot and aim at distant Helghast troopers.

A recent patch for the game adds improved DualShock controls and, as with most shooters, it really deserves the big-screen experience. In fact, I'm shocked Sony hasn't done a HD version as happened with a few Vita games (Assassin's Creed) to get it on PS4. Obviously, PS4 owners can scoff at my list and move on.

So, apart from the Vita's only major shooter, what else should look great moving on up from the small to the big screen? Interestingly almost every game I own on cart is currently incompatible, hmm! That minor detail aside, here's my little list, feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments:

  • Ridge Racer: Shallow, yes, but it does look gorgeous
  • Toukiden: Has the detail that most other monster hunters lack
  • Akiba's Trip: The world of Akiba deserves a peek on the big screen
  • Demon Gaze: Really want to see those dungeons on a big platform

And that's your lot really! Wonder if you really need to own a PS4 to get the most from the PlayStation TV, or have an immense interest in PSP and PSOne games.
