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?

Vita indie update, Valfaris, Shakedown Hawaii and more

After the excitement of an awesome April with Rogue Aces, Va-11 Hall-a, Sir Eatsalot and more, time to see what's still coming from the army of indie developers who still see value in the Vita.

Some devs are being very quiet, others are happy to splash out the content. Here's a couple of the latest clips and images. Will add more as I dig them up.
