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?

Japanese Charts, Yu-gi-oh and Battle Masters Hit for PSP (with video)

The Japanese charts are an odd mix this week with Dark Souls way out in front, Gears of War 3 doing well on Xbox and several classics charting high. On the PSP front, two new Konami games waded into the top 10. A new Yu-Gi-Oh game made the top three, Yu-gi-oh 5D's Tag Force 6 sold 65,000 copies while Busou Shinki Battle Masters Mk.2 sold 32,000.





Elsewhere in the charts, the budget edition of Monster Hunter Portable 3 is also new, but only sold around 15,000 copies, presumably as the whole of Japan already owns it. The PSP itself managed to shift another 28,000 units, not bad for a machine that will be phased out in less than three months.
