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...

Romancing Saga 2 is its own saga, coming to Vita after all?

Square Enix really are as mad as box of frogs, on acid! Their minimal support approach to Vita in the west is understandable, if you imagine the company as a bunch of gray suits in a boardroom.


However, Square's creatives are starting to push this "make some noise and we'll see" approach. And, it might just be that by making some racket, things are actually happening.

So now, after the Adventures of Mana and Setsuna farce (boo!), the Dragon Quest Builders digital only news (yay!), we now turn to the madness of Romancing Saga 2. It already exists in English is coming to iOS and Android, but was flatly ignored on Vita, until now, when we get this message:
So, progress, of a sort. Which still leaves this lot and more up in the air:

  • Dragon Quest Heroes II
  • SaGa Scarlet Grace
  • Final Fantasy Adventures
  • The missing Final Fantasy Crisis Core on PSN  
That's where we go back to the men in suits. One joined up bit of policy for the Vita, saying "yes, let's do this properly" and there's no need for the endless noise making and online petitions. So, sort out it Square Enix, accept there's a small but vibrant user base, and a valuable source of revenue here and make your own noise!
