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. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Why can't the Vita share screenshots automatically?

Sony has had a bit of a hit with the PS4's Share button, which makes me wonder why, if the Vita can take screenshots of games in action, why there isn't an auto-share option to post them to Twitter or other social media.

After all, if the Vita needs promoting, then what better way to do it then sending cool shots of games in action to millions of people, for free. It can't be too hard to add an option in Settings to autoshare screenshots, and the Vita has a Twitter app anyway, so getting the details, or adding them to the account can't be too hard.



You have to wonder, since Sony was clearly working on the PS4 during the Vita's inception, why they didn't think about screenshot sharing as a key feature, rather than the crappy Near and goods trading experiences that few have ever used.

Is it too late in the Vita's life to add this feature? It probably won't make any difference, but I know I see lots of PS4 shots and go "cool", so why not do the same for the Vita? I'm guessing video sharing is a bit beyond the hardware, but I'd be delighted to use a screen sharing feature.
