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.

ScourgeBringer goes limited physical on Switch

Flying Oak Games get all my love for NeuroVoider, and I'll happily snap up a copy of ScourgeBringer which gets a physical Nintendo Switch release thanks to Eastasiasoft. Blending roguelite progression and platforming with hyper-fast combat, ScourgeBringer is a modern pixel-art masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of multiple genres with the developer's signature vicious elegance.


Described as “Dead Cells meets Celeste” due to its tough but fair roguelite structure and free-moving action across hazardous hand-crafted environments, Scourge offers adaptive audio by Joonas Turner (Nuclear Throne, Downwell, Broforce) that underscores the brutal ballet, giving the action a rhythmic quality when skillfully executed. 


ScourgeBringer is a complete experience of audio-visual cohesion, boasting 60fps performance in both docked and handheld modes on Nintendo Switch. Preorders open on the 5th November at Playasia, 10:00am ET / 3:00pm UK, with the game, manual, soundtrack CD and numbered certificate in a collector’s box for US$34.99 + shipping (only 2,000 units). Standard copies will also be available at US$29.99.
