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!

However, I think the edits (mind the soap!) needed for a western release are probably going to limit its value, given Xseed tried, to some success, with previous Senran Kagura games including the chef-fest that was Shinovi Versus! Guess we'll soon see.
