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...

NeoGeo blasts on to Evercade in 2025

Evercade has played a crafty hand with its announcements over the year, and leaves 2024 with a neat teaser for the coming year. 

The retro-brand's latest collaboration aims to bring some of the "most revered" arcade names to Evercade, with SNK Corporation,​ creators of the NeoGeo arcade and home system. There's still plenty of excitement around these titles, as when WindJammers dropped on PS4/Vita in 2017. 

And some NeoGeo games aren't that old, with the last release only 20 years ago with 2004's Samurai Shodown V Special ushering the platform off into the sunset.

At this point, all we have is the teaser image above, but its not hard to imagine the likes of the Metal Slug series, King of Fighters, Fatal Fury (still rolling along with City of the Wolves due out in 2025) and oddities like Cyber-Lip plus a host of sports games making their way to Evercade hardware.

I remember the unaffordability of the original hardware, and the huge size of the physical NeoGeo carts and their rampant capacity, so I hope the Giga carts are put to good use, and we're not fed one or two NeoGeo titles per cart. If you can't wait a NEOGEO Mini International Edition arcade unit is available with 40 titles built in for £80.
