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.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the 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 the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

Intellivision collections coming to Evercade

Blaze can fix that with a 12-game Evercade cartridge landing in the autumn and more carts promised to follow. 


The Intellivision numeric function pads and disc controls won't be an issue as games will be individually adapted for modern controls. The first three games announced for Collection 1 are early-80s efforts, Frog Bog, AstroSmash and Night Stalker for some shooting, maze running, fly munching action. 

Update: The rest of the titles for the first collection have been revealed. 

There's a decade of titles to choose from so hopefully a few more recent ones will make the list. Hopefully they won't drag out announcing the other nine over too long. 

Whatever your feelings for Intellivision, this is another great sources of games for the Evercade and helps round out its position as the ultimate retro handheld. If you fancy the modern version of the Intellivision, the Amico is up for pre-order now.
