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 .

Japanese Developers Wants/Likes/Needs for NGP

Famitsu has an article running in its latest issue polling all the big (and some smaller) Japanese developers about what they think of the NGP.

Price point should be around 30,000 yen ($360, £225)
NGP will be developed for alongside PS3 and Xbox, so expect all the big games
