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!

Sega's Shining World page updates, new Vita game due?

Still, perhaps worth keeping an eye on if you're into your Japanese role players, or perhaps if you fancy a Shining Hearts themed multi-raid game the Vita? Anything to sell a few more of these cool Shining World figurines?
