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...

Japan gets a free-to-play RPG from Tri-Ace, Judas Code

Tri-Ace, the folks behind the Star Ocean series and busy make Phantasy Star Nova with Sega, are bringing a new RPG card battler to the Vita, Judas Code, for Japan. A free-to-play effort, set during World War III which was triggered by a 2001: Space Odyssey-like Pillar, Longinus,  that has desolated our world.

That sounds pretty harsh, and survival is now the aim of the game, with Judas Code offering both single exploration and MP card-battle action.  Very light on details so far, and no stories off the Japanese sites, but a summer release is mentioned, making this pretty much a near-finished project, so expect lots of imagery and videos to follow.

Hopefully it'll stray outside the usual free-to-play fodder and offer something a little more in-depth and distinct.

UPDATE: Pics has turned up on the Japanese sites and it looks pretty damn hot... a cover based shooter action game that looks just a little bit Third Birthday (to me).
