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!

Vesta goes adventuring on the Switch this week

Vesta is just your typical girl who wants a lie-in, but her robot buddy has a busy day ahead for her. The pair need to maintain and fix their underground lair, under the ruins of a once-proud city, and reveal the truth about what happened to the robot-dominated world.

A first game developed by Spanish developer Finalboss Games and published by EastAsiaSoft (in Asia), the game sees Droid doing all the heavy lifting and Vesta squeezing into all the places a robot can't fit, in a fine-looking 3D buddy-puzzle-solving adventure. Perhaps somewhere between Jak and Daxter titles, with a dash of Bastion?

The game is out in a couple of days, should have a review up soon.
