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?

PSN Store Update: BlazBlue vs Tekken

After the hetic U.S. update yesterday, things are a bit more refined on the EU store with a couple of releases hitting. First up is the gorgeous looking BlazBlue Continuum Shift II for £23.99 while for retro fans, Namco has put together PS One classics Tekken and Ridge Racer Type 4 (worth it for that classic trailer) for just £5.49.




Already got RRT4 and Tekken Dark Resurrection on UMD, so won't bother with that combo, especially as I felt rather downbeat about playing the original Soul Calibur on Xbox - it just didn't feel right. But its a nice idea, if Square would do some Final Fantasy or Tomb Raider combos, that'd be ace.
