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 .

They appear to be part of some campaign to get the Vita version selling, something it wouldn't need if Capcom could be bothered to put the real deal Monster Hunter on the Vita, since its selling very well now in Japan.
