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.

Akiba's Beat rolls out the character trailers

I'm starting to hate this with games, one trailer dripping out at a time for each character, for whom there's barely any tactical variation, expect a vaguely different weapon, suitable craziness of hair and slightly different annoying squeaky voice. Latest ones at the top!

On we go, with the translated English versions from Acquire... here's Saki (or Asahi as he was in the Japanese version at the bottom - is there some alcohol advertising deal going on here?)


UPDATED: At least Yamato gets to keep his name in the latest translated trailer.

Just one more (hopefully), Mizuki Aihara


And, this week's contestant is...

And one more...

Yet another one...

UPDATE: And another one...


I know this is how Japanese PR works, but is it not possible just to shove them all in one video? Anyway, here's Riyu Momose (now forever to be known as The Marmoset). She beats people up with a pole weapon and squeaks while her pink hair wafts around.


And here's Asahi who carries a sword and has really boring hair and clothes, its like he's not even trying! Still, his headphones are glued to his skull
