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 ...

Donut Dodo leads Evercade Indie Heroes 3 Collection

Donut Dodo from Pixel Games is one of my favourite retro games of the year, bringing the best of 8-bit arcade action with a few modern tweaks. Check out my review of the Switch version from which the below image comes.

The manic dodo, who is actually the villain of the piece, features front-and-centre on the artwork for Indie Heroes 3. The (February) 2024 collection of games that got a free digital release on the Evercade VS and EXP over 2023.


Ideal for those with the original Evercade model, other games featured in the collection include:

Platformers: Doodle World Redrawn, Magic and Legend: Time Knights, Thunderpaw, Bubble Seahorse Adventures, Orebody: Binder's Tale, and Skate Kat

Puzzlers: Alien Cat 2: Enhanced Edition, Big2Small, Chew Chew Mimic, Bone Marrow, 

Adventure: The Little Tales of Alexandria

Action: Chibi Monster Br4wl

Not only is a great collection (loved the original Alien Cat!), it gives smaller indie developers the chance of a physical release for their games and a broader audience.  


Bubble Seahorse Adventures is the latest digital release that has just become available for those with the newer Evercade hardware. 


And here's the trailer for a quick look at each game to get a feel for them. Check out the previous editions, Indie Heroes 1 and Indie Heroes 2, both packed with fun and surprises.
