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. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Dragon's Crown, not that valuable in Japan?

Combined, Dragon's Crown on the PS3 and Vita sold 175,000 but that lagged behind the latest Pheonix Wright adventure for the 3DS. To me those sales numbers don't look that high, especially after reports of the game selling out. Either Atlus low-balled on the release numbers, which seems strange for such an expensive game.\

Toukiden finally dropped out of the top 10, but has now crossed the 200,000 mark which puts it into serious Vita hit territory. While on the hardware front, it looks like DC help shift another 5,000 odd Vita consoles as the format hit 19,866 sales for the week. More than it does across most of Europe in a month!, if some national figures are to be believed.

02./00. [PS3] Dragon's Crown (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 104.359 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Dragon's Crown (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 71.083 / NEW
17./07. [PSV] Toukiden # (Koei Tecmo) {2013.06.27} (¥6.090) - 8.253 / 208.170 (-36%)

 To celebrate the game's imminent U.S. release, there's a new trailer, Europe stand by to import like the good old days.
