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. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

There May, One Day, Be a 3D PS Vita

Talking at Develop, Sony's Mick Hocking mentioned that the company may be up for a 3D version of its handheld console at some point. With Nintendo's 3DS a proof-of-concept (I like it, but not sure how long I'd play it in 3D mode for) Sony has time to improve and refine the technology for its own handheld. Its a good in-depth read on the whole 3D market, so please take a look, but here's the Vita-sentials


Is the PS Vita a good candidate for 3D?
As you know our purpose at Sony is to build the world’s most awesome handheld games machine, and I think the focus – right now at least – is to build the most capable handheld games machine on the market.
Of course in the future we may look to build the 3D experience on a handheld. The tech is rapidly evolving, so we may well in the future include a high-quality 3D experience on the small screens. Whether this comes to Vita will have to be seen.


The big question would have to be would it come as a second generation Vita in a couple of years or would Sony wait the full lifetime of the Vita before adding this to a proper sequel... interesting idea to kick around but definitely one for the future. Would you be interested in a 3D Sony handheld? Have you tried the 3DS and what do you think.
