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 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.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point.

Evercade tricks out the Turrican collection

Just as the news calendar winds down for the year, along comes Evercade to put a big fat grin on retro gamers' faces. 

The Turrican Collection is open for pre-orders now, releasing at the end of February. It brings the 16-bit iconic action game series to Evercade in one definitive package of Factor 5 action and classic tunes from Chris Huelsbeck.

I loved the original on my ST and have a recent version on Switch, but this is the mother lode.

I hope there's time to stick a media player in there that can pull the music tracks out the code, that'd be a cool extra.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
