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 .

Terraria sets up camp as new Vita games rush the Japanese charts

Continuing on from last week's Disgaea 4 arrival, more new Vita titles land in the chart this week, but again, nothing to help Vita sales tick up. Even with five Vita titles in Media Create's chart, sales are dropping steadily. Still, its good to see Terraria get a decent reception in Japan while Puyo Puyo Tetris gets barely a fifth the sales of the 3DS version.

Sony will hope that the release in Japan on 22 February of the PlayStation 4 will give a boost to the Vita's numbers with the lure of Remote Play and PlayStation Plus deals, plus CrossPlay and CrossBuy all creating a tempting link between the two devices.
