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.

Final Fantasy III on PSP tops the chart in Japan, LBP makes a modest entry

I always wondered how LittleBigPlanet would do in Japan, the answer not as bad as I feared, but still pretty weak. According to Famitsu's figures, it sold over 4,500, the Media Create figures (due soon) will probably see it doing around 6,000.



On the plus side Final Fantasy III stormed to the top of the charts, selling over 45,000 and we get to play it too as its in this week's PSN update. That leads some five PSP (including Hunter x Hunter) and two PSV games in the charts. Vita hardware sales are in the checking-for-a-pulse 8,000s, Sony must be rethinking its need for a price cut, right about.....now. (But still won't do it, as it can't afford to.)

  2. Vita doesn't need a price cut, its needs to advertise. It has so much to offer against the likes of the 3ds.
