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.

Japanese video Friday, novels and music

Starting off today with a new Our World is Ended character trailer. There's a bunch of these now on the Red YouTube channel and they either look so boring or repulsive that I'm pretty glad their world is ending! The visual novel is out next week in Japan.



Idolish7's new Vita project is Twelve Fantasia, published by Bandai and looking very perky in a battle of the boy-bands style. The game is out next February, and while the interactive sections look like a bunch of mini-games, it could still be fun.



As a footnote, quite a few western fans on Twitter lining up to buy a Vita just for this game.

Finally, for now, a new Broccoli VN, Killer and Strawberry, gets its intro video airing... all breathy singing but against a dark almost cyberpunk city background and an armed spy/assassin - interesting and with a July 2018 release date!
