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 .

One Piece Burning Blood sails west from Bandai

Announced at TGS for Japan, Bandai has just confirmed that the latest installment for of the One Piece series is coming west. Burning Blood will arrive on the Vita and other consoles in 2016. Developed by the Spike Chunsoft, Bandai claims it offers a new experience for the series, based on fan feedback.

Luffy, Ace, Sabo, Law, Crocodile, Enel, Bartolomeo and Doflamingo are confirmed as playable, with plenty more news to come.
