Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Latest Media Create sales and Famitsu review scores

Vita sales storm back over the 4K barrier to 4,200 in Japan last week according to Media Create.

Let’s Manga  34/40 (art and creation app)
Iconoclasts  33/40
Cyber Troopers: Virtual On  33/40
Secret of Mana – 30/40
Idolish7 Twelve Fantasia! (PSV) – 29/30
