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.

World of Final Fantasy tops UK Vita chart in new release rampage

Proving that retail sales do still happen and matter for the Vita, new releases kick out the usual suspects in the latest chart. WoFF hits No. 1 with word of sell outs among many stores, which is impressive, or Square only produced a few thousand units.

There are three new entries and Valkyrie Drive goes up the chart - something that rarely happens in Vita land.

1. World of Final Fantasy (Square) NEW
2. Root Letter (PQube) NEW
3. Minecraft (Mojang) Non-mover
4. Yomawari (NIS) NEW
5. Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhumi (PQube) Up from No. 6 

None of them have the chops to break into the individual format chart, but WoFF hits the all-formats chart at No. 11 counting both Vita and PS4 sales.

Will update the PSN chart when Sony bothers to crunch the numbers for that. Here we go (as of Friday):

1. Dragon Quest Builders
2. Darkest Dungeon
3. Odin Sphere
4. Oddword New n Tasty
5. Need for Speed Most Wanted
6. LoH: Trails of Cold Steel

Over on Amazon UK, WoFF tops the chart with Valkyrie Drive at No. 3 and Root Letter in at No. 6.
