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 ...

Oddworld Stranger's Wrath hits the Switch

The Oddworld series has had a long and noble ride through the console generations with the gorgeous-looking 2D Abe platformers in the PlayStation days and 3D adventures in the Xbox era. Stranger's Wrath also hit the Vita many years back, and now comes to Switch.

Its a rather pricey £26.99 on the Switch, presumably based on the cancelled Wii U version, but that's Switch tax I guess. It was released in 2012 for just £9.99 on the Vita and is still on PSN, if you have both.

Stranger's Wrath follows a fearsome bounty hunter who captures outlaws in order to collect bounties to pay for surgery to keep him alive. It uses living ammo made out of the creatures in the world in one of many clever twists among its future-retro-western setting.
