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!

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends exclusive to Switch

Taito's Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands remain among my favourite games from any generation, with perfectly formed arcade gameplay and characters of immense cuteness. With HD graphics and bags of effects, plus plenty of nods to the 8-bit era, there's still the classic gameplay, but with up to four-player local mode thanks to ININ, a little more on their page, here.

Also, it had better not anything like the monstrous screw up, Bubble Bobble Evolution from Opus on the PSP! Also, begs the question why the Taito Legends collections from the PS2 era haven't been updated for new consoles.
