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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point. Certainly, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than a distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 ...

Evercade handheld launching soon, picks up 17 Lynx games

UPDATE: Like the Evercade idea so much, I popped up a portal site for all the news and info.

If you love your handheld retro fun, Evercade is looking like the portable to go to, with a new cart release packing in 17 Atari Lynx games on the way. The £60-£80 unit lands in April (update, moved to May likely due to Coronavirus, may move further). It brings all sorts of classic fun to a new generation of gamers and connects to TVs via HDMI, just like the Vita should have done.

The Lynx games include Scrapyard Dog, Basketbrawl, Super Asteroids/Missile Command®, Awesome Golf, Crystal Mines II: Buried Treasure, Dracula the Undead, Malibu Bikini Volleyball and some later indie releases. But no RoadBlasters, which was probably Atari's finest game on the Lynx.



Other cards will include collections from DataEast, Namco, Technos and many more, and at a decent price compared to some of the arcade collections available on PS1, PSP and Vita, it looks like a solid investment.
