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.

Xeno Crisis will invade the Switch in 2019

Crowd-funded 16-bit retro classic Xeno Crisis is hitting the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive and Dreamcast first in tribute to the legendary Sega platforms. But it will also come to the Switch in early 2019, giving non-Segaites a chance to enjoy the top-down shooter with multiplayer features.
