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...

EastAsiaSoft lines up more Vita physicals

This week is another expensive one for Vita collectors with the sequel to the rather fun Devious Dungeon heading our way. There was lots of scope for adding to the original's chirpy experience, so I hope this is a slightly deeper game.

The company will announce the last Vita physicals at E3, but that won't be the end of the story, as Asian publishers are still producing physicals, some of which may head west as developers look for new avenues.

Rearing its polygonal head is the decidedly retro blockfest Back in 1995, up for limited release in the spirit of early PlayStation horror adventures. While I like the idea, the gameplay has to be really strong for this to work, and I'm not sure I'd splash out on a physical based on the middling reviews of the PC original.

Both games are ported by Ratalaika. There's only a 1,000 copies of each, with a CD thrown in, which seems rather light. Also, EastAsiaSoft is pumping up the price by $5 and buyers around the world will likely get stung for more import taxes. On the other hand, digital copies should be about €7.99 if you want to grab them on PSN without the wait for a courier.
