PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Evercade Nexus revealed, a modern retro twist

 After the tease a week ago, Blaze is pretty quick out of the blocks with its latest Evercade reveal. And the new device is an ultra-modern looking new unit with a near-6-inch brighter screen, dual-sticks and wireless headphone support.

Pre-orders on Amazon up here.

Share and play gaming is offered by EverSync. This feature enables local multiplayer game support wirelessly between two Nexus handhelds with only one cart (didn't the Atari Lynx do something similar?).

One neat trick is you can change the light-up LED logo to any colour you like, or off hopefully. 

The new device will hit stores in October (that's my birthday sorted) for £169 or equivalent (assuming memory prices don't soar further). With a LE N64 limited edition (2,000 units) for collectors at £189, shipping with the Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack cart and other goodies. 


Pre-orders go live on April the 1st, no joke.
