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!

Dragon Quest Builders video is very, very Minecraft

Square just showed off a few minutes video of Dragon Quest Builders on its live event video (hopefully a replay will appear soon). In the clips we have some mining, some home building and a little bit of combat.

Catch the replay now, DQ Builders starts around the 28 minute mark! (update, video long since removed!)
