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.

198X does full retro on the Switch

Ahh, combo games. Back in the 80s multi-sport Summer Games or multi-shooter games like Raid over Moscow were a great way to add value to a game by offering different "events" or level types. Enter 198X on the Switch, a game that throws in a whole bunch of genres including road racing, beat 'em up, arcade shooters and more as the backdrop to a personal story and adventure. All for just £8.99 and out now.

As a kid in the 90s, the local arcade was a part of growing up, but in 198X, it is key to the protagonists growth. Each game has its own graphic style and suitable music with the over-arching story tying everything together.
