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?

Japanese weekly sales show Toukiden hanging tough

Running along after Famitsu's mid-year sales comes this week's chart from Media Create. With Dragon's Crown out today, there won't be any fireworks until next week, but we still see Toukiden selling well enough to hang about the top 10, something rare in the world of Vita and now approaching the 200,000 sales mark which should make it the best-selling Vita game this year.

07./06. [PSV] Toukiden # (Koei Tecmo) {2013.06.27} (¥6.090) - 12.953 / 199.916 (-38%)

Vita hardware sales are down around 1,000 to 14,400, but Dragon's Crown should give things a sizeable boost. The PSP is just about 20 weeks of sales away from crossing 20 million units in Japan.
