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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool.

Super Robot Wars V coming to Japan in 2017

Bandai clearly has high hopes for the Vita beyond this year, with our first entry in the Japanese 2017 release list. The cuter of its mech franchises will hit the handheld and PS4 after Christmas, with a new tale, but likely the same endless robot battling with tactics style RPG options, that I've never really been able to fall in love with.

Still, it looks like we have the Yamato making an appearance, and a range of special characters to jolly the series along. Since this is pretty niche, not sure it will come west, but as long as Vita games are sold in Japan, we should be getting some of them! However, if you do want this, there will be an Asian English version to import come the new year.
