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!

NIS America to stream its 17 Feb press event

NIS America's press events have usually happened behind closed doors, but for the first time, they will be streaming the event over Twitch.

Promised for the upcoming event are five new games, plus appearances from SUDA51 and Kazutaka Kodaka. Hopefully we'll get some news on Exile Election (Tsuihou Senkyo) as that's the latest Nippon Ichi Vita game out in Japan.

While NISA may be looking at other formats, it has a huge legacy list of PSP titles and other games that are worth updating, with the Vita an easy platform to handle them.
