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!

Disney Infinity 2 comes to the Vita

Of course, you'll have to pay for each extra character, but that's the way this cash cow plays. At least the Vita should have little trouble handling the cheesy graphics, release date is down as September.
