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...

New Vita games splurge from Japan

Is two a splurge? While not exactly a torrent, a couple of news pieces from Japan from this morning and over the weekend signal more Vita gaming goodness on the way.

Who knows! Anyway, A Certain Magical Virtual On is due in 2018 on Vita and PS4!

The Certain Magical Index crew were last seen in Dengeki's Fighting Climax compendium brawler.


And, just when you think there will never be any all-new, all-Vita games, Compile Heart reaffirms its love for the handheld with a tweet. Hopefully leaving the endless string of Neptunia titles behind, a new RPG will be revealed soon,

Having focused, naturally enough, on the PS4 in recent months, good to see Compile Heart still loves its Vita audience.
