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...

Retro shooters raid Kickstarter for funds

With the news that Super Icon's Best Buds vs Bad Guys has an official Vita stretch goal, things are on a tear for retro arcade game and shooters on Kickstarter at the moment.



Hewson Consultants (yep, them from the 8-bit days) are back with a homage to Uridium called Hyper Sentinel which launches on Kickstarter this Friday, nothing apart from a PC edition is listed yet but it looks like a Vita version would be a great fit.

UPDATE: The Kickstarter is live with a 60K console stretch, will ask exactly what that means, there are mobile versions planned, so a Vita version should be doable.



Slightly more modern is Japanese R-Type inspired game Xydonia has a long list of stretch goals down to the 3DS, which suggests a Vita version might be next. It is half way to its base goal after just one day, so there's high hopes that this might raise a ton of money. UPDATE: The Breaking Bytes development team have confirmed they are interested in more stretch goals, so watch this space!




As ever, politely nudge the developers to express your interest in a Vita version, and after the miracle of Adventures of Mana, we'll see what happens.
