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 ...

New Evercade hardware coming, arcade ports later

Evercade is teasing some news for the 23rd of April with the below image, which kind of suggests that multiplayer might be a feature across Evercade games. That'd be great for all the two player titles available across the many collections. 

UPDATE: Interestingly, the press release just popped up saying:"23.04.21 - Watch this space for more information and future announcements of new Evercade Hardware!" So, if it is a new iteration of hardware, stand by for lots of excitement! 

Original story continues: Whether this is in the form of a software update and USB link, or perhaps a new-generation console that builds multiplayer plus more power for newer games and features, we wait to find out. 

You can sign up at this link for more information come the time. 


In related news, Evercade is also promising that arcade originals will start launching for the handheld later this year. All of which adds up to an exciting rest of the year for owners after a relatively quiet start to 2021, not helped by a few small delays. 

The last news was the first few games for the upcoming Intellivision cart. But in Evercade-land that doesn't really matter, we have over 200 games to play, no downloads, loading times or panicking a digital store will vanish!
