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?

Fortnite passes 200 million total users, on half of all Switch consoles

Epic's Fortnite continues to churn out the impressive figures, today announcing it has passed the 200 million user mark, across PC, console and mobile. On the Switch the free game is installed on over 50% of the 22 million Nintendo hybrids. That momentum resulted in a record of over 8.4 million people playing the game simultaneously, and while some will move on to other shooters, plenty more are still signing up.

Its also great to listen in on Squad Mode and hear players of all ages discussing the latest tactics and discoveries within the game.
