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. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Mortal Kombat 11 does a fatality on the Switch

No one really cares about the grown-up games argument anymore right? That doesn't stop some folk making this a big deal, and ignoring the fact the original Mortal Kombat got a SNES release. But the latest adventure from Netherealm and Warner Bros in pummeling tale will land its punches, kicks and killer moves on the Switch in April 2019.

The news was announced at The Game Awards, via a meaty render showing off the same old foes in the same old battles with a rap-battle soundtrack. Since the most recent Mortal Kombat I tried (on the Vita) is just as fun today as it was six years ago, expect eminent playability and new twists in the ongoing saga of their endless skirmishes.

Hopefully the grand unveil in January, won't be dragged out by pointless slow-drip character reveals. And Netherrealm will keep up with the ridiculous fatalities, but basically, just give us the game we love with some new stuff.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
