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!

If they can sell 100K each, then why can't a modestly ambitious western title?


The good news is that NIS America plans to concentrate on bringing more visual novels our way, probably not all for the Vita, but at least we should get some out of their efforts. We've also got the likes of Steins;Gate and Code: Realize coming west, making the Vita the top machine for visual  novel fans.
