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.

Vita gets an RPG-inspired boost in Japan

Two new Vita games nestle neatly in the middle of the Japanese Media Create charts this week, bringing a neat little boost to the hardware sales figures, up to 11,000. The PSP continues its merry way, selling 15,000 with three news games in the chart led by the new Kamen Rider.

09./00. [PSV] Fate/Stay Night -Realta Nua- (Kadokawa Shoten) (¥6.300) - 30.583 / NEW 
10./00. [PSV] Atelier Totori Plus: The Alchemist of Arland 2 (Gust) (¥6.090) - 27.651 / NEW 
11./00. [PSP] Kamen Rider: Ultra Climax Heroes (Bandai Namco) (¥6.280) - 20.739 / NEW


Click the links for videos on these games, chances of a western release, probably slim. I guess that's it for big Vita games this year in Japan, aside from Call of Duty and the AKB1/149 love sim in a couple of weeks. The look ahead to 2013 starts here. Stein's Gate, Demon Gaze and PSO2 (which is also free) are the only ones that really grab.
