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 .

Japan's Marvelous Planning Full NGP Slate

Marvelous, the team behind Harvest Moon, No More Heroes, Fate/Extra and a bunch of other stuff that I don't think the west gets is promising full support for the NGP. In its financial report, it reckons the new handheld console will be out by the end of the year.


Marvelous made/published 24 games for the PSP over the years, which is a pretty decent effort with Fate/Extra breaking the 100,000 sales barrier this year and Half Minute Hero 2 still to hit these shores. So, expect some great, quirky stuff, to come on your NGP in 2012.
