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.

Of all the Nintendo E3 news, Advance Wars wins!

Nintendo had a lot of good stuff to show during its E3 Direct and Clubhouse show. Sure, everyone is drooling over Metroid and Hyrule, but that's to be expected. The one that tickled my gaming sensibilities most was the Reboot for Advance Wars. 

That and Battle Isle were the staple multi-player war games back in the day, and this looks like a love letter than a cold-hard cash in. With WayForward on development duties, I think we can be sure of a high-quality effort all round, and it looks pretty good with what was shown in the brief trailer. 


There's plenty of content with the original Advance Wars and Black Hole Rising, and it looks like none of the over-complications of games that try to do modernise on the genre. The December release seems a bit sketchy, putting it up with all the other seasonal big hitters. Not that it really matters, sign me up!
