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.

Vita sales approach 5K in Japan as Dragon Quest XI dominates

A month ago it looked like the Vita would drop below 4,000 sales. Now it is pushing closer to 5,000. Which is just my trying to generate some excitement as the Vita remains flatlined in between those boundaries.

A trio of games pepper the 3,000 sales mark at the bottom of the chart in the guise of: Wagamama High Spec from iMel, Grisaia no Kajitsu: Side Episode from Prototype and Idea Factory's Hiiro no Kakera.

I'll tastefully ignore Dragon Quest XI selling around 2.2 million across 3DS and PS4, even if Square did show off a Remote Play video to remind folk of the Vita. That launch managed to boost hardware sales by 4X to 5X on those platforms.
