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 .

New Vita releases pop up in Japan's top 10 led by Idolish 7 Twelve Fantasia

Out this week is Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story from Nippon Ichi, which looks lively enough to generate some interest and is a three-way battle between Vita, Switch and PS4.
