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?

PS Vita sales rise in Japan on new colours and Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation

The new colour editions of the PS Vita have given it a useful boost in Japan with the sales of 13,091, beating out the PSP's 12,217 according to Media Create figures. Even combined that's less than a quarter of this week's 3DS sales, just for perspective.



The new Sapphire Blue model and a red unit were helped by the arrival of Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation which sold almost 25,000 copies, not bad for a western game in Japan. The Vita was down to under 5,000 last week, and will probably by back in four-digit figures next week, but every little helps!
