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...

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.
