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!

Acquire's Metropolis Defenders breaks cover in Famitsu

Acquire has been good bringing Vita games west with Akiba's Trip, Mind Zero and others making the trek here. Wonder if this new game, Metropolis Defenders will also make it over.

Is it a counterpoint to Freedom Wars with a mix of big battles and RTS construction? Could be interesting if they get the balance right, and it isn't just another monster slaying game, which I think we could all do with a bit of break from (you know, expect for God Eater Rage Burst and probably some more Toukiden).
