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? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Deadman's Cross info unveiled

Sony keep pretty quiet about this Square game hitting western PSN, but just ahead of release we have a little detail about the very Japanese zombie shooter/card/RPG game. Still no western video, but you can scope out the Japanese trailer here.


Key features of the game include:
  • Over 400 kinds of zombies to catch, enhance and battle. New cards will be continuously introduced through updates
  • Battle engine designed by Hiroyuki Ito, creator of FINAL FANTASY’s famed Active Time Battle System
  • A First Person Shooter (FPS) element perfectly suited for the Vita's system controls, giving players an opportunity to defeat dead men in the field and obtain cards for your arsenal.
  • Co-op and PVP play enabled with players across all platforms of the game
  • Multi-screen experience that allows players to carry both the story and content between the mobile and PlayStation Vita system version.
Not sure how this will work since the game isn't even announced yet, but there will be a collaboration event with Capcom's Resident Evil 2: Revelations game, scheduled on February 25th.
