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.

Media Create chart welcomes Digimon

The new Media Create chart is out in Japan, and the new Digimon does well for the Vita, not far behind the mighty Pokken Tournament. Elsewhere Gundam drops fast but still moves over the 100K barrier on the Vita.

1. Pokken Tournament (Nintendo) 69,575
2. Digimon World: Next Order (Bandai) - 64.218 / NEW
6. Minecraft (Sony) 9,136
8. Gundam Breaker 3 (Bandai) 8,741
10 Summon Night 6 (Bandai) 7,144

The Vita sold a stable 19,028 units on the week, not bad as Japan motors through another quiet couple of weeks in gaming.


Also of interest, in this week's Famitsu are a bunch of almost random sounding Vita games getting decent scores along with the ubiquitous Winning Post 8.

Winning Post 8 2016 (PS4/PSV) – 8/8/8/8 (bare bones update)
Kono Oozora Ni Tsubasa Wo Hirogete Cruise Sign (PSV) – 8/8/8/8 (port of a PS3 otome)
Silverio Vendetta: Verse of Orpeus (PSV) – 8/7/7/8 (Windows adventure port)
Ore ni Hatarakette Iwaretemo Tori (PSV) – 7/7/7/7 (RPG)
