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.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted reviews out, any for the Vita version?

The big sites are going live right now with their reviews of Criterion's big NFS title. With the Vita version claimed to be almost the same as the big boys, we should be able to take cues from these reviews as to how good it is.

NowGamer 9.5/10
CVG 7.5/10
IGN 9/10
EuroGamer 8/10

No sign of a Vita dedicated review yet, but will update as scores come in. Ahh, here they come:

PocketGamer Silver Award - "An extremely impressive handheld version of a console hit, but one not without some serious compromises. Still, it's one of the best racers of the year and it's in your pocket. Can't complain"

Weseeinpixels 8/10 - "This is by far the best looking title on the little console, the best racer and a no doubt must buy for anybody looking reignite their love of the Vita."

GamerSciz 8.9/10 - Good graphics, fun addictive gameplay and having different race types keeps things fresh not to mention it's a living breathing true open world.

TheVitaLounge 5/5 It’s a near perfect amalgamation of both the Burnout and Need for Speed series, Criterion have simply outdone themselves and set a massive bar from which not only racers, but all Vita games will now have to compare to. This is what the Vita can do. 5/5
