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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Factorio and Endless Dungeon star in the latest Nintendo Direct

 Among the inevitable batch of sequels, the endless cute RPGs, the daring dive in Resident Evil with "cloud" versions and a few non-surprises, the latest Nintendo Direct was overloaded with games without any of them really sparking the "way-hey" fervour in me. 

Fortunately, among the usual suspects a couple of games grabbed my attention! New to me, this is why these events (including the upcoming PlayStation State of Play) are important, to highlight the games that not everyone has heard of. 

PC resource building game Factorio is coming to the Switch. After a rocket crash, you need to collect the resources and build the factories to create a new starship. It features cross-platform play but no mods from the PC version, and looks like a finely-crafted bag of tense fun.  

Endless Dungeon from Amplitude Studios is part of their Endless Universe series and provide some sci-fi rogue-lite tactical action. Set on an abandoned space station, you need to arm heroes and position them to defeat never-ending waves of monsters...
