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?

Get ready for Sony's Paris Games Week shindig

Having blown out Gamescom, Sony's two big presentations in the run up to the festive selling season (what we used to called Christmas) will be Tokyo Games Show in September and Paris Games Week.

The Paris Games Week event has just been inked in with Sony's show taking place at 5PM UK time on Tuesday 27th October. Mark your calendar for that one, and expect plenty of short-term news focused on the big games landing this year.



While the company has already announced a host of PS4 bundles, including the top notch Star Wars Battlefront version, the show will be the perfect time to show off a new Vita bundle. Also, if Sony manages to unveil Gravity Rush 2 at TGS, then a first western showing should follow.

Failure to show anything new will pretty much be the final, final, final nail in the Vita's coffin from a big league perspective. But that is the most likely outcome, so will come as no surprise.
