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?

New Digimon trailer packs in the monsters

Yep, all the news has a Japanese flavour today, as I guess the west is officially on holiday, or giving up on the Vita. Digimon Cybersleuth on Sony's portable is looking increasingly like a great game. There's a polished art style, attractive characters, great-looking battles and an interesting setting, outside of the endless country walks.

All that and a jazz fusion soundtrack, how can it go wrong? The western petition is just 3,000 signatures short of 50,000 at which point Bandai Namco will apparently consider bringing it to the west. It doesn't look that hard a port, and Digimon has sold over here on the PSP. So, there's some hope there! I think it still has a 2015 release date, so there's not much point in getting excited yet.
