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 said all along that Capcom's love in with Nintendo was a time-limited deal, but was worried it was a rather longer than usual one - to the extent that I wonder how much of Nintendo's recent losses came from paying Capcom for their loyalty.



Anyhow, the boss of Sony France has let the Feylene out of the bag with a hint that Monster Hunter Vita will be appearing on the console this year. That just leaves the question which version? Assuming its a 4G or 4V, I guess that help Sony happily shift 4 to 5 million Vitas and we'll be wondering what all the fuss was about. That's assuming the Monster Hunter armies aren't all happy playing on their 3DS or using the PSP version on their Vita (above) - but I figure Capcom will have something special to help move Japan's gamers on to the next version.

Capcom said it has no official comment to make, which means its still furiously typing up a press release.
