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? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Aokana gets an exclusive physical Switch release

Switch owners are in luck with an exclusive physical release for Aokana from PQube and NekoNyan. The game, subtitled Four Rhythms Across the Blue is an award-winning visual novel, focusing on dreams, sports and love releasing digitally and physically for Nintendo Switch on 21st August. Pre-orders live here for £44.99

The story of Aokana is set in a world where science finally invented anti-gravity shoes! With the dreamlike ability to freely fly through the skies, a form of sport called Flying Circus became popular, where athletes soar through the air to score points.



Players take the role of Masaya, a former competitor, that encounters a new (and yet another damn) transfer student Asuka (will Japanese game developers stop using them as such an obvious prop). Anyway, the kid wants to learn how to fly, join the Flying Circus sports club, etc etc. Check out the trailer for the usual schoolgirl character poses...
