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...

Foxxio planned for Vita with a 2021 release date

Not sure how many ifs, coulds or maybes this story requires, but German solo-developer Foxxio, has confirmed a Vita version of the platformer, if a planned multi-format Kickstarter succeeds. With a scheduled release of Q2 2021, that would make it the first game beyond the Vita's 10th EU birthday, ignoring delayed titles. Which is cool, assuming Sony keep the pipes running until then and the game gets finished, and approved by Sony.

UPDATE (for additional clarity) The devs state: "Engine Switch is nearly complete so we can confirm PC, PS4, PSVITA, SWITCH. However the reason we stayed so carefully about a PSVITA Port was that we were unsure about the Game Conversation from EngineA to EngineB, that worked now - so we can progress further in development."


There are some early demos of the prototype in action on their YouTube channel, the team have been working for two years on their foxy-platformer. But much work has been done since then, and you can see plenty more recent images on their Twitter.

With a cute fox navigating a dark world populated by monsters and mechs, guided by a spiritual vulpine friend, it looks good and the developers have finished off the first level recently, so progress is being made.

Hope it all works out, and look forward to playing Foxxio on my 10-year old Vita!

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
