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...

Contraptions builds up a trophy listing

 Incredible Game-style effort Contraptions from Moragami is a 2019 Steam, PS4 and Switch game that might be heading to the Vita. There's a trophy listing up, and the publisher is down as Funbox, who gave us the party-fuelled Top Trumps Turbo and Vegas Party. 

Update: Release date confirmed for November (EU).

I loved the early levels of the original PC games way back when, hope this brings some more contemplative fun to the Vita. No more info than that at this point, other than Funbox recently signed a deal with Eastasiasoft to bring more games west, not sure if that's related, so who knows, this might even be for an Asia-only release. 



The game blurb offers us: How many steps does it take to change a light bulb? If your answer is 10 or more, then you are ready for "Contraptions" - a game where the goal is to fix whacky contraptions that perform simple tasks in indirect and convoluted ways, Rube Goldberg style.

Use camels as trampolines, champagne bottles as cannons, balloons to lift objects, fireworks wheels to drive conveyor belts, magnets to attract metal objects, and many more gadgets to solve the puzzles and clear the levels.

Features include:

  • Solve over 100 wacky puzzles across 5 different worlds.
  • Create an unlimited number of your own levels and challenge a friend to try to beat it.
  • Use a plethora of goofy gadgets from scissors to washing-line pegs.
  • Complete the levels in multiple ways...get as bonkers and creative as you like.
