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.

Go Swimming in Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy

Koei and Gust will ship another Atelier adventure in the form of Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy, this winter on Switch. Among the updates for anyone getting bored of the long-running medicinal concoction series, the updated engine, in a story set three years after her heroic efforts in Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout allows Ryza to swim. 

Going splashing about will help her discover aquatic materials for potions and recipes, and also the entrance to an underwater dungeon as she explores ancient ruins while seeking the truth behind the mystery of the lost legends. 



Throughout her journey, Ryza will once again be joined by her fun-loving group of mischievous friends. The first of these old companions confirmed for Ryza 2 is Klaudia. The only daughter of a merchant family, Klaudia has been working in the Royal Capital, but all the while, thinking back to the adventure she had with Ryza three years prior. 

Klaudia still has the desire to live a more exciting life, and now finds her fate once again intertwined with Ryza as they regroup inside the Royal Capital. Also joining Ryza this time around is a mysterious creature known as Fi. The creature doesn’t speak, but is very expressive and full of emotion, bonding quickly with Ryza while helping her seek answers to the true meaning of the lost legends.
