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...

WaterMelon will bring 16-bit MegaDrive RPG Pier Solar to Vita

The curious journey of an RPG built and released for the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive is a great read. The fact someone can still make MegaDrive carts is pretty amazing Marginally better news is that the sizeable adventure, full title Pier Solar and the Great Architects, arrives on PS3 and PS4 this week (on the US PSN at least).

Even better news is that the developers should soon be announcing a Vita version, where it should look and play the best, with those 16-bit graphics really popping on an OLED. The big console versions are Cross Buy, so hopefully you can play it now and enjoy it later on the Vita, or just wait for more formal news.

 UPDATE: 16/3/16 - The port has been cancelled, apparently due to lack of support from Sony.

Pier Solar tells the story of Hoston, a young botanist who must save his father from a mystery illness. Along with his two best friends Alina and Edessot, the three friends embark on a quest seeking a rare herb.
