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...

Demon Gaze is a global hit, Demon Gaze 2 on the way

While 200,000 sales is a drop in the ocean for the major console games, for a little JRPG practically unknown outside of its home country, that sounds like a decent achievement. Experience/Kadokawa's Demon Gaze has passed that mark according to a tweet from Experience's Game Director.
Oh yeah it seems to have exceeded 200,000 ... Demongeizu! (° Д °) soooo!
It sold around 50,000 before vanishing from the Japanese chart, but the recent Global Edition with all content and extras has probably sparked more interest. Certainly the maps pages I posted, are very popular search hits, and its very easy to recommend a game that's a simple joy to play with a fun story and characters, and some proper RPGing to dive into.

That also suggests that the other games from the same teams, Tokyo New World Record: Operation Abyss and Labyrinth Cross Blood Infinity Ultimate, despite the stretchy names, will stand a good chance of getting a release over here.

Update: Perhaps not surprisingly, this success has seen Experience scuttling back to their dungeon design boards, with a sequel arriving in 2015 all but confirmed. Get ready for more demonic squinting and old school dungeoning.
