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. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Sony's Paris Games Week event, boobs or bust?

With even major game sites like VG24/7 calling it "a PS4 press conference" it looks like everyone outside of our jolly little band has now forgotten the PS Vita exists.


So, without getting expectations up, will Sony try and generate interest with a boob-fest? Imagine throwing the collective cleavage of Senran Kagura, Uppers, Criminal Girls and so on at a stunned audience!


Realistically, with just five days to go, there's no reason at all to get excited, but you can still watch the show here or on Twitch. Since Sony doesn't even bother touting Vita as a Remote Play device these days, seriously, don't expect a bean - especially as the PS4 just got an EU price cut with not even a slight trim in memory card prices for those of suffering with huge digital collections.

Even the 2DS has enjoyed a nice trim to tempt seasonal shoppers, but Sony's focus seems purely on PS4. Even if it had designed and built a PS Vita HD upgrade in the labs, I doubt it would get a western release now. But, hey, is it too much to ask for a quick sizzle reel and a few euros off memory cards?
