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 .

The fact Vita games are now out-stripping their PSP counterparts, as happened with Toukiden, is also a further indication that Japanese developers will move their focus to the Vita. The portable version of Dragon's Crown is only a few spots behind the PS3 version, so should do well on release this week.
