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...

Darius Burst heads west, single player only on Vita


Taito's Darius Burst series was relaunched in Japan recently and the new Chronicle Saviours title has been confirmed as heading west. There's a new story that borrows hundreds of stages covering the series' history, with nine playable ships to choose from including classic Silver Hawk variants, a new CS-exclusive ship, and game play-changing Burst modes.



To keep things interesting for those stuck on one of the super-widescreen levels, there's branching stages where you choose your own path and challenge level. At the end of the key levels are 40-odd enormous, robotic sea-monster battleships with new CS-exclusive bosses.

Add in a Zuntata soundtrack, plus Cross Save with the PS4 version and it should be a welcome addition to the Vita's decent shooter roster. There's no Cross Play as the Vita version is single player only, check out the western site for more info.
