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!

One Piece Unlimited World Red out today, new trailer

Bandai Namco continues its piquing curiousity around the Vita with the arrival of One Piece World Red on the Vita. If it sells well enough, we can only hope that the original One Piece Vita title, Pirate Warriors 2 gets a western outing (Red was a 3DS exclusive in Japan originally). An action role-playing game with a combat coliseum for more two-on-two battles makes this a pretty compelling package.



For all the fans eager to have exclusive items, the Straw Hat Edition offers 10 outfits (Luffy Strong World Adventure outfit and the Anniversary Pack with 9 outfits commemorating Japan’s 15th Anniversary of the One Piece Animated series – this item won’t be sold later!) and a unique quest where the two brothers are re-united: “Flame Fist & Straw Hat”.
