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...

Dengeki Fighting Climax title pulls some punches

With all the great fighting games on the Vita, is there room for something as dull looking as Dengeki Fighting Climax from Sega? The backgrounds look bland, the special moves look so old, and the motley collection of characters from various Dengeki products, mean it'll just be a bunch of girls and guys scrapping, with the barest minimum of a plot of story.

Heading to PS3 and Vita, I think we can pretty much live without this, even the Vita's very first fighting games - SFvT and BlazBlue do the job way better. And later efforts like InJustice and the still-in-development Tekken X Street Fighter make this redundant. Any objections?

  1. Objections? For sure.
    It's done by French Bread & Ecole, meaning the gameplay should, in fact, be pretty good. Plus it features lots of Dengeki Bunko franchises, a perfect fit for anime fans who are quite numerous in the Vita fanbase due to its quantity of "typically" japanese games. Which also means even if it's low on story contents, it shouldn't matter: it's a smash bros for moe fans (shonen enthusiasts can go toward J-Stars).

    I sincerely think it's not to be labeled as a cheap fighter, and I'm pretty sure it'll be technical enough to be entertaining in the long-run. Of course it'll be a niche game, but probably not a bad one.
