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.

Toukiden 2 takes Tokyo, latest Media Create chart

Okay, this is officially a flat (red) line, Vita sales have remained pretty much the same for the past 10 weeks, hovering around 11,000 sales. Even the arrival of Toukiden 2 this week failed to help shift units, in fact they are down by a couple of hundred on last week.
Koei's latest monster hunter managed to hit No. 4, which suggests there won't be a Toukiden 3 any time soon. On the plus side, the Vita version of Toukiden 2 outsold the PS4 edition by 13,000, with both version selling over 100K combined. Unfortuntaely, The Longest Five Minutes looks like it will be luck to last two weeks in the chart!

04 Toukiden 2 (Koei Tecmo)  - 59.032 / NEW
06 Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana # (Nihon Falcom) - 13.860 / 57.613 (-68%)
19 The Longest 5 Minutes # (Nippon Ichi Software) - 2.767 / NEW

As for hardware sales, it will take a miracle apparent to budge the Vita from this line, surely some new models from Sony need to be forthcoming ahead of any NX news to build a growing trend.
