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?

Slick new Japanese Vita Dragon Quest Builders bundle

Likely to be the best Vita seller in 2016, Dragon Quest Builders could get the handheld off to a rocket start for the year, hitting Japanese stores in January.

That'll be helped by this executive-grade new bundle offering a sublime Metal Slime grey Vita, on which the black standouts actually look pretty excellent. There's a neat metal slime decal, a slime headphone plug-in, all wrapped up in a superb box with a physical copy of the likely to be massive Dragon Quest Builders game.

It will be a limited edition, so move quick if you want an import, 25,980 yen is around £140, wow! The rest of us can just sigh at its magnificence, and pray someone at Sony or Square thinks - hey, this could sell in the west!
