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 .

On the plus side, there is some trouble with getting the game via Cross Buy according to Sony U.S., hopefully that'll be fixed in the EU version. Although, since the PS3 version is more expensive I'd be tempted to go Vita only if you run both ways. Here's a comparison video between the two if you're not sure
