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! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version?

Diablo III will remote play on the Vita

Perhaps Blizzard devs have never seen a Vita, as focused as they are on the big-screen games, but the Remote Play feature will be enabled.


To prove it, here's Blizzard showing off the game on the small screen. Of course, the game is half the price on PC (and not even out until next year on PS4) if you want to play it properly. But the new console version will at least be able to be played off the big-screen, so perhaps will be a bigger deal to those who need to do a Pindleskin (or whatever the D3 equivalent is) run morning, noon or night.
