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?

Rayman leading the PS Vita score fest

After I noticed that Rayman had almost sold out at Amazon (UK), a quick look at Metacritic shows that the cartoon platformer is also top of the score averages. Ubisoft is doing pretty well in that respect, with Lumines also rating highly.


As for the, rest, its almost a very PSP situation, with lots of highly-rated games but nothing standing out, although since we're in the first week, no one can hold that against it. Also, the first batch of reviews of games for a portable always seem to have the same type of comments "its good... but not as good as a real console" or "this updated version of old game here isn't quite right" which I think skews the results down a bit.

Let us know what your favourites are so far. I'm getting my Vita tomorrow and will probably settle for MotorStorm RC and Everybodys (Hot Shots) Golf for now as I really want to test out the multiplayer side of the console.
