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?

Snow Bros Wonderland throws us 3D festive snowball fights

 The Snow Bros might not have built up the love and legacy of the Bubble Bobble crew back in the arcades of the day, but some folks still love them and their snowball fight antics, with a fresh generation discovering them thanks to Tatsujin Games, current owners of the Toaplan archive. 

The original Snow Bros arcade games were stars of Evercade's recent Toaplan collections, while a modern pixel-update landed on Switch a couple of years ago. 

Now, a fresh chill blows in an all-3D edition of Snow Bros, arriving late November, hopefully along with some real snow (we haven't had any in years).

Snow Bros Wonderland

Snow Bros. Wonderland goes isometric across large scrolling levels, and players using a range of new moves, power-ups and gameplay mechanics to defeat the nasties infesting Snow Land driven on by the the King of Evil. The latest trailer shows off some multiplayer action, up to four-player co-op, and the beasts that you can pummel.  


Developed by Clear River Games, Snow Bros. Wonderland arrives on PS4, PS5, Steam and Nintendo Switch on November 28, with Limited Run providing a physical version for the US market, pre-orders go live on the 5th November.
