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.

Super Pocket Atari edition goes woody

Titles include Miner 2049'er, Yars Revenge, Crystal Castles, Tempest, Food Fight and many more. Although, every time one of these collections pops up, I'm sobbing inside at the lack of Activision games, someone really needs to sort this out! 

 There's also a regular Atari model, in black and red, plus a Technos collection going heavy on the beat 'em ups featuring the Double Dragon games,  River City Ransom, Renegade, Crash 'N the Boys among other brawlers

Super Pocket retro

These arrivals will soon make it four Super Pockets, all eminently collectable, alongside the original Taito and Capcom models still available and providing entry to the full Evercade cart range through the cart slot on the rear. 

Pre-orders start at the end of July for the regular models, with the Limited Atari Edition up for grabs now. Everything ships in October.
