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 .

$220,000 for a Taxi Journey? Another Kickstarter could make a cool Vita game

Note, an English version of this video is on the Kickstarter page.
