Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Black Rock Shooter Not Heading West

According to a tweet I just came across, NIS America has confirmed it won't be releasing Black Rock Shooter, or any other PSP titles in America. The awesome looking game is due to hit Japan on 25 August and comes with a great figurine bundle which it looks like I'll have to order now.

We do not have a project up and running together, so our contacts with them are limited." so hopes were pretty stretched back then, but it looks like any lingering ones have now gone.

Wonder if Ghostlight (who bring Japanese titles like Aedis Eclipse over) or someone else is likely to pick it up, as BRS looks like a game that doesn't need a great effort in the way of translation.
