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 .

Cross Anjou battles into Japanese Media Create chart

Hardware sales nudge up by 1,300 with the Vita outselling the PS4 and New 3DS LL by a hundred or so. But the Wii U takes the win thanks to the arrival of Splatoon.
