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!

Nico Nico hits PS Vita in America

On the plus side, it will allow Vita owners to stream Sony's E3 presentation live, so has to be worth a go.




I guess it'll appear in Europe today, if not, Sony really needs to sort out its timing as Europeans won't have a compelling reason to install the app until next year. Probably a good time to ask Sony about a proper YouTube app too.

Any American's having a go with it? Let us know what you think.
