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...

Trifox sniffing out the Switch in 2022

Publisher Big Sugar and Belgium-based developer Glowfish Interactive are bringing Trifox to the Nintendo Switch and other platforms in early 2022. At first glance I had some strange vibes about a modern take on the PC classic Total Annihilation by Cavedog, which is no bad thing. 

An action-adventure with a variety of ways to play, it features a multi-talented mammal, the Trifox who can use the skills of a trio of different character types – Warrior, Mage, and Engineer to succeed. Each has its own unique set of class-based abilities and these can be mixed-and-matched, allowing players to create a wily protagonist with a tailor-made moveset.


Features include: 

Three different classes: Wield a giant hammer as a Warrior! Master magic and mystery as a Mage! Use a backpack full of gadgets as an Engineer! 

Mix-and-match styles: Customise your Trifox by combining different class-based abilities! Want to cast spells and fire a Gatling Gun? No problem!

30 abilities to unlock: Collect and spend coins to gain new skills, such as Spike Slam, Shield Bubble, Guided Missile, and many more!

Four worlds to beat: Fight hordes of enemies, traverse platforming pitfalls, overcome environmental puzzles, and battle big angry bosses!

A modern retro adventure: A new and fresh experience designed to evoke the spirit of classic 3D platformers! 

Trifox was nominated as 'Most Anticipated Game' at the Belgian Game Awards, received honorable mentions at the Unfold Games Awards for 'Best Level Design' and 'Best Character Design', and was awarded a 'Seal of Approval' after being selected to participate in Yogscast's Tiny Teams event. Sounds interesting and can't wait to see more on the Switch or Switch Pro when it comes out.
