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!

Shining Ark out-ranks Soul Sacrifice in Famitsu's most wanted list

While the Shining... series is rather diffuse and sprawling, starting way back on the Megadrive, Ark is generating lots of interest with its female bikini-clad pirates and role-playing battles. Dominating the list of Monster Hunter and other 3DS titles, which points to another bumper year for Nintendo's baby.
