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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement.

Irem arcade collection coming to Evercade

Along with 1982's Moon Patrol with the genius vertical and horizontal weapons, there's classy-looking submarine shooter In the Hunt and Battle Chopper with its in-level upgrade shop gimmick. Add to that the swish of Lightning Swords and early American Football game 10 Yard Fight - an epic collection. 



All the games are 1 or 2 players, so good for the Evercade VS, and this epic cart will be available for pre-order in September, arriving Winter (hoping for no more chip-shortage enforced delays!).
