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?

2012's Knytt Underground goes Physical via PlayAsia

Looks like the publishers are digging deeper in to the Vita archive for new fodder, with 2012's very pretty Knytt Underground from Niflass and Ripstone getting a fresh, if limited to 1,500 units, release. That's thanks to PlayAsia bundling the game with the usual CD, box, manual and certificate.



Having checked my PSN, I own the game but have no recall of playing it. Guess it'll be good to give it another go, with features including, over 1,800 rooms to explore and multiple story-driven quests to complete. Zen-like gameplay, vibrant environments and dynamic characters, compelling and thought provoking storyline where you switch between human and ball form for an unparalleled sense of freedom.

Pre-orders go live this week, with the boxes arriving in time for Christmas, if you want to treat your Vita to a present.
