The best deals of the week in handheld and mobile - June 19

Welcome, everyone, to our weekly round-up of the best deals in pocket gaming. We've got some top bargains in store for you.

It works like this: each week we bring the best deals in handheld gaming, predominantly covering the latest discounts for iOS and Android gamers.

We also cover a few deals on smartphones themselves, as well as a selection of handheld offers. Basically if it's portable and cheap, we're looking out for it.

It's a good week for fans of strategy and narrative-driven games, but there's also a little something for those of you who like their Sega-style arcade games in Star Cat Adventure.

The Sony Xperia X launched last year as a curious 'tweener phone that was neither full-blown flagship nor mid-ranger. Nowadays it can be had for a lot less money making it infinitely more desirable - particularly with luxury features like Hi-Res Audio upscaling and an edge to edge display.

Super Mario Odyssey is looking rather exciting. Completely mad, but rather exciting. If you're looking for a decent pre-order price... well, here's the best we've found so far.

Elsewhere, we've got a PS Vita game. Yes, an actual PS Vita game! They do still exist, you know. This one's a spinoff from the Hyperdimension Neptunia JRPG series, wherein a bunch of games consoles manifest themselves as goddesses. No, really.

• Super Mario Odyssey on Nintendo Switch for £42.75 (£50 elsewhere) - pre-order from Base.com
• Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls on PS Vita for £19.99 (£30 elsewhere) - buy from Grainger Games
