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.  Update: the Vectrex Kickstarter is live and blew past its first funding goal in ab out 15 minutes, and approaching £450K and 2,500 backers in its first day.   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?

Gore, Guns and Cannoli 2 takes aim at the Switch

Launching on PC in March but in development for Switch and other consoles,is a frenetic mafioso shooter with a great sense of humour and hand-drawn visuals.

Maybe see it on the Switch later in the year!

Using a ridiculous arsenal of weapons, players can blast their way through across the levels with a new weapon wheel and full 360° aiming. That combined with improved mobility of good old Vinnie lets players easily shoot everything that moves.

Note, while there isn't a Switch logo on the game's site it is mentioned in the press release, so rest assured Switch owners will be able to fight Nazis, zombies and aliens all in the one game!
