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...

GameMaker 2 devs can port to Switch

Yes, yesterday's Nintendo Direct event was cool, but the most interesting news came as an aside to the news that Undertale is coming to Switch. That was built using dev toolkit GameMaker 2 from YoYo Games who announced an official export to Switch option. This means plenty of smaller indie coders can bring their great games to the hybrid.


That could mean the likes of Rivals of Aether, Indie Pogo, Hush Blossom,  Hotline Miami, Spelunky, Luftrausers or Nuclear Throne and many more could be coming sooner rather than later. Lots of developers were flooded with questions about ports soon after the announce, so it'll take a while to see what gets officially announced, put on a wish list and so on.

Older games on GM1 might struggle to come across, but it creates an excellent new source of future games and means smaller devs can support the Switch and carry the load in between the mega-Nintendo releases.
