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...

Checking in on the last Vita PSN games out this week

Just a day to go until the final Vita releases hit the PSN store. Here's the latest on what's happening with the last batch as the developers rush toward the finish line. 

UPDATE: And that's it, they are live on PSN nice and early, so go get them, binge on trophies and then we sit back to wait and see what PlayAsia can throw our way as later-day physical exclusives or kindly devs decide to release as homebrew. 


Pigeon Dev's Witchcrafty is only £3.99 has a release trailer and here's some gameplay footage. Early reviews suggest a few bugs in the game thanks to Sony forcing developers to push games out the door, but it still looks great. 

Note that Indigo7 is likely getting a PlayAsia physical-only release later in the year, based on developer Delores' teasing. 

In better news, Spooky Squid's Russian Subway Dogs (£11.99, 84MB) is getting some special guest stars with Kepler and Doppler from Lover's in a Dangerous Space Time by Asteroid Base and Uay Chivo from Guacamelee! by DrinkBox Studios.


Gumbo Machine kindly sent over some footage of Ultra Mission in action for those love their classic shooters. 


And here's Killer Dolls in action from Domaginarium. This is live on the EU PSN, but is having trouble with the US store, hopefully it'll go live soon. 


Brotherhood United has sneaked in as a list-minute surprise.


Hopefully some more bits and pieces before these games hit PSN and we're all too busy playing them. Sadly, Sony's hard cut-off has trashed hopes for Seraphim, which did not make the deadline due to late-breaking development bugs. After years of developed effort, it makes Sony's "we love indies" message seem so much more hollow, would another week really have killed? 

That said, thanks to the PSN staff who helped deliver these games and have kept PSN updated, including a final refresh of the Latest games tab.
