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?

New FFIV pics, Monster Hunter sales and 20 PSP games for 2011

So, yesterday we got our first half-decent look at the PSP Phone (Sorry, Xperia Play) but still no gaming shots - I guess if someone activates the phone, Sony Ericsson police swoop in and bust you.

Today, there are some more shots of Final Fantasy IV in action for the original PSP - and very pretty it looks.


with lots more official pics over on Siliconera. I played the first Final Fantasy on PSP, just so that I had played a part of history really, hopefully this sequel is a little more evolved. Also, does anyone know if the Japanese version has English text, like that original did?

And, Monster Hunter has now shipped four million copies in Japan, making it the fastest selling PSP game in history, according to Capcom. I bet SCEA and SCEE had a game that had done half as well to boost the PSP in the west.

Finally, Gamrfeed has a list of 20 games to look forward to in 2011, some of these are already out in Europe and some are just run of the mill sequels, so don't get too excited.
