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...

Tokyo Xanadu and a host of visual novels come west thanks to Aksys

Having long been obsessed with Monster Hunter clones, it now seems the Vita is the go to platform for Persona clones. Just as well, given we aren't getting Persona 5. I do wonder how long it will be until Persona 2 and 3 get a re-remastering, but until then, its up to the likes of Caligula and the newly-confirmed for western release Tokyo Xanadu to keep things rolling.

The game sold around 125K physical copies in Japan, and looks a lot more stylish than the newer Caligula title. Here's hoping it does good business on its western release.



As well as Tokyo Xanadu in 2017, Aksys is bringing visual novel Otome titles; Collar X Malice, Period Cube and Bad Apple Wars. Again, these are seeing more interest in the west with huge Twitter storms for what you'd think are pretty niche games!
