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!

Madden calls foul on the PS Vita

EA is proudly touting its 25th anniversary Madden game today, for the PS3 and Xbox. No word of a Vita or any other version,  not even the Wii U. Is this the usual EA tactic of pretending other versions don't exist and then just shoving cut and shut versions out of the door at the last minute? Or is EA doing a Tiger Woods and dropping the game from anything less than the mainstay platforms?

Either way, don't expect anything from EA Sports until just before the game's release date at the end of August. Perhaps some hope rests in a true Madden 14 game that might arrive, but that could easily be PS4 and XboxNext only. Grim times multiformat fans!
