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!

Vita sales drop below 10K in Japan

Atelier Firis Alchemist of the Mysterious Journey from Gust and Demon Gaze 2 from Kadokawa are out in Japan later this week, which might help provide the first signs of some much needed spikiness!

Last week's data here.
