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!

New Natural Doctrine trailer shows your survival instincts

I guess this is being billed as a sort-of Demon Souls, with the kind of toughness, tactics and strategy, and grimy grinding, but NIS/Kadokawa's title does have a lot of cool features of its own. This latest trailer demonstrate how careful planning and use of the environment can affect your chances for survival.


Some maps include interactive elements that allow you to open new paths and find hidden surprises like treasure (good!) and trolls (bad!). Make the right choices and you just might survive.

At least we should get the easy mode from day one, as Japanese gamers found the game overly tough.
