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 ...

Danganronpa 2 murders the UK Vita chart

Charts all over the place as the PSN, boxed copy and Amazon charts roll across my screens. Disgaea 4 managed just a week at the top, as Monakuma jumps to the top of the UK retail chart and asserts his manic dominance.

I'll have a review up soon, but it really is worth investing your money and time in. It doesn't manage to dent the all formats which suggests Vita sales really are still minuscule.

UPDATE: Hang on a sec, now the longer full all-formats chart listing is out, I see Danganronpa 2 made it in at No. 29! Heroic stuff, little bear, and it actually reached 21 in the full-price chart.

1 new DANGANRONPA 2: GOODBYE DESPAIR NIS AMERICA - 1
2 KILLZONE: MERCENARY SONY. 4 53
3 FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD REMASTER SQUARE ENIX 2 25
4 BORDERLANDS 2 2K GAMES 3 15
5 DISGAEA 4: A PROMISE REVISITED NIS AMERICA 1 2

Over on Amazon, the live chart sees Minecraft still at No. 1 awaiting a release date while Freedom Wars is jockeying around with Danganronpa for the 2/3 spot. The next major releases are Natural Doctrine and another crappy FIFA update.

Guess Tales of Hearts is probably the biggest release by fan base) for the Vita this year. That's due in November, but with all the mega releases happening around then, I guess it could easily be overlooked.



UPDATED: Sony has just put up the PSN charts for August, with the Vita's big sellers. In Europe, we picked up...

1 Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment (New)
2 Assassin’s Creed III Liberation (5)
3 Rogue Legacy (New)
4 Soul Sacrifice Delta (19)
5 The Walking Dead: Season Two (2)

While the US gorged on...

1 Sword Art Online -Hollow Fragment-
2 God of War: Collection PS Vita
3 Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z
4 Rogue Legacy
5 FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster
