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!

Sir Eatsalot Heads to the Switch

The game is moving from Vita to Switch early next year and should be a standout attraction alongside the likes of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, Shantae and other greats for platform fans.

The chubby, snack-obsessed hero must make friends, out-duel enemies and keep his tummy full while trying to outwit a wicked witch. With a great sense of fun and superbly crafted visuals, do give Sir Eatsalot a spin while you're on your January New Year's resolution diet!
