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.

PSP2 Launch Event Rumoured in Japan

January 27 is the day to book off school or work if multiple rumours [VG24/7 among others] are to be believed. So, just two weeks to see exactly how many horses this beast has under its sleek shell and what kind of storage, shop and other essentials it packs.

[UPDATE] - The event is confirmed and is to be called "PlayStation Meeting."

Basically, this device needs to be a:

  • PS3-class gaming machine
  • Playable on big and small screen
  • Vast catalogue of emulators and games
  • High quality store with good price range
  • New IP games to encourage western multiplayer gaming (get the HMP effect going)


That also leaves two weeks for some more leakage to occur, but Sony are doing a better job than Sony Ericsson of keeping this thing largely under wraps.

So, expect a very late night on the 27th if this turns out to be true and a lot of hectic translation. Any one know how much a ticket to Tokyo is these days?

What else do you think Sony should have in the bag to make this a success?
