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? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Lady pirates in bikinis brighten up Sega's Shining Ark

Yep, this is what you need to jolly up a a wet day. Bikini-clad pirate ladies are just one of the new features unveiled by Sega for its upcoming PSP Shining Ark title. There's also the inevitable special limited edition and lots of pics of pirate ships, giant piscine monsters and more. Which represents just one section of this epic-looking 3D adventure RPG that will be shown off at Jump Festa.

But I'll lead with this young lady, she's described as the Velvet leopard woman of distant seas (CV: Chikazu Saito). The game is due out next February, suggesting anyone thinking the PSP was on its way out in Japan, really needs to think again, with this, Marvelous' Sherlock Holmes and plenty of other games due in 2013.



The first footage Shining Ark looked pretty awesome, if rather clichéd  but that was before this nautical information drop. Hopefully it'll be on PSN so Japanese Vita owners can give it a spin. I'd happily try an import, but will politely ask Sega if there's any chance of a western PSN release.
