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

Sony ups the pace of PSP to PS Vita conversion

There are still loads of games, both full downloads and minis that run on the PSP but somehow don't quite work on the Vita. Sony is trying to address this with a bundle of older games making the jump now, or in the near future. They include some WWE titles for the wrestling deprived, a host of JRPGs and a few big hitters like Gods Eater Burst and Split Second. See Sony's blog post for the full list, including many minis.

Keep an eye out on the Vita store for them, they'll be free downloads if you previously brought them for your PSP. It might be best to check your download history (accessible from the "..." button) to see what you own. Still no word on PS One games, will give Sony a nudge and see what's happening.
