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?

Earth Defense Force 2017 comes with a price shock

Yep, the Vita is short of big-name games, so us beggars can't really be choosers. But most of the comments I'm seeing are rather surprised about the £32 being asked for the new D3's EDF game out tomorrow. That's compared to Orgarhythm which should about £10-12 and Sumioni which is going for £8.

FYI, the U.S. version went on-sale last week for $39.99 which is around £25, anyone thinking this isn't a bit of a rip off is probably not alone.


Blame Namco for the pricing, but since there's no sign of a store release, looks like you'll have to either wait until the price comes down or bite the bullet on this one. Also, bet we don't even get the handy Japanese combo bundle to encourage multiplayer gaming.
