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? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Float along with new Spike RPG Zanki Zero

Look to the horizon, possibly into 2018 when this new Spike RPG could hit Japan. Zanki Zero is a story set on a flooded Earth, developed by the Danganronpa 2 team. Among the ruins, young and old must survive and expand their world, with a large party of eight characters playing important individual roles across the chapters.

Gameplay takes place on a seamless world map, with battles taking place in the same area. On the plus side, for once this game can get away with putting characters in swimwear, without batting an eyelid. They could also put in a fishing mini-game and it would make actual sense! Although I hope there's some aquatic armour for dealing with the creatures that now thrive in the floods.

Famitsu has some artwork, in its brief reveal, but with the game only 10% complete, don't go expecting soggy gameplay clips any time soon.
