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?

Oddworld Stranger's Wrath hits the Switch

The Oddworld series has had a long and noble ride through the console generations with the gorgeous-looking 2D Abe platformers in the PlayStation days and 3D adventures in the Xbox era. Stranger's Wrath also hit the Vita many years back, and now comes to Switch.

Its a rather pricey £26.99 on the Switch, presumably based on the cancelled Wii U version, but that's Switch tax I guess. It was released in 2012 for just £9.99 on the Vita and is still on PSN, if you have both.

Stranger's Wrath follows a fearsome bounty hunter who captures outlaws in order to collect bounties to pay for surgery to keep him alive. It uses living ammo made out of the creatures in the world in one of many clever twists among its future-retro-western setting.
