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.

Sturmfront The Mutant War rages on the Vita

"It ain't over 'til its over" burbled Lenny Kravitz many years ago. And the Vita still keeps ticking over with later-day support from number of publishers who had seemingly gone quiet. Good of them to come and say goodbye properly. 

Adding to the growing 2021 release list is RedArt with Andrade Games' Sturmfront The Mutant War getting a digital release, announced on the bank holiday. 

Update: EU PSN release date is now confirmed as 18th June, US PSN to be announced. 

Another update: Trophy listing now live. 

Yet another update: June 22nd US PSN dated, EU moved to the 23rd


As this is RedArt's last game for the Vita, it gets a Farewell Edition badge. Sturmfront brings some of my favourite childhood arcade games back to life, riffing off classics like Commando, Ikari Warriors and Shock Troopers, updated with bullet hell wizardry. 

You play as Siefried, an experimental cyborg battle unit fighting against the mutant hordes to a metal soundtrack laced with psychedelic electronica. Here's the PS4 trailer, bringing a rare 18-rated game to the Vita. Funnily enough, I was playing the PSP Alien Syndrome, and this has a strong vibe of the original.
