Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

Pixel platformer Tower of Samsara hits Kickstarter

Things have been a bit quiet on the Kickstarter Vita front this year, is the old console just slowly drifting out of developers' plans? Whatever, here's one to back with Tower of Samsara, which my auto-correct is already calling Tower of Satsuma!
It features intense platforming and battling, environment manipulation and puzzles, choices, unique art style and online collaborative components. The game also presents a mix of lores from various philosophies - such as Buddhism, stoicism, Greek and Roman Mythology - which will resignify objects, actions, reality, life and death.
Another dinky pixel platformer, it has a €60K Vita and PS4 stretch goal, and looks like it would fit perfectly alongside Risk of Rain, it even has a soundtrack by the same muso. It could also be the first ever third-party game announced for Nintendo's NX if it gets enough backing! Get funding and check out what other Vita games you can back.

Delivery is listed as December 2018, which would make it the first Vita game listed for release that year, or even 2019 if there's porting delays.

UPDATE: Due to interest from Vita fans, the Vita version is now part of the main €42K main goal, with a €15 tier to get the portable version! 
PSVITA UPDATE: You asked, we listened! Because of all the overwhelming PlayStation fan support, the team at Martelo Nero have decided to merge the PS Vita stretch goal into our main goal! Additionally, you can now add €5 to any tier containing a digital game key to upgrade it to a PS Vita game key! We are so thankful to all of our fans, and will continue to listen to you all for feedback so we can make the best product possible.
