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 .

Latest Vita Media Create data and Famitsu scores

Things went full-on summer holiday mode in Japan last week with no new entries and sales figures heading for the hills. The Vita managed to sell 3,083 units according to Media Create, so even in the quiet times, people are still picking up Sony's ageing hardware in decent numbers.

World End Syndrome 8/8/8/8
Piofiore no Banshou 8/8/7/8
