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!

Towerfall Ascension rises to the Vita this week

Just a whole year after its PS4 release (trailered), and longer since the PC original, here comes Towerfall Ascension to the Vita. A battling retro arcade game, that sees brave knights, wizards and thieves try to rescue a kingdom from evil.

However, given I'm having to squint a bit playing Bastion on the Vita's small screen, I can only hope there is a decent smart zoom function to keep things in perspective. Also hope it maintains the local player fun feel that the original aimed to capture.
