June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed 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 .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

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 Nexus device is an ultra-modern looking new unit with a near-6-inch brighter screen, dual-sticks and wireless headphone support.

Update: Enjoy a new video, as Evercade shows off more of the Nexus and its luscious big screen... 


Pre-orders on Amazon up here.

The stylish design is way more modern than the retro-vibe the Evercade brand has stuck with, so is it trying to compete more with the Android crowd or attract younger gamers? Guess we'll find out if there are any UI/library changes and other features en route. 

No words on the innards (apart from WiFi 6 support), but the cooling vents on the back suggest something more sturdy. Also, no news on future releases that will benefit from the dual sticks, but that made sense given the reveal of the wireless pad a few weeks back. 

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.
