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.

Minor shuffles in the UK Vita chart, Swapper tops PSN

Betting bored of this stagnant mire of, admittedly very decent, games? New releases are nearly here as we hit Autumn. But will they cause much of a shake-up among that heavily entrenched top 5? Hyperdimension Neptunia and Disgaea 4 are out this week, Danganronpa 2 the next. Hope you like Japanese releases, but still no word on Minecraft, which still tops Amazon's pre-order list.

In the PSN chart, recent indies The Swapper (264 ratings) and Rogue Legacy (1,106 ratings) sit atop a pile of older AAA games, once again proving their popularity. Even though the prices of these games are creeping up as the quality and scale increases to fill the gaps left by the major players. Looks like PSN is still being hampered after the weekend's DDOS attack, so I wouldn't be trying to buy anything right now.
