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 ...

Looks like Vita owners not getting LEGO Batman 3 DLC

File under "eventually, this was inevitable", but it looks like the minor versions of LEGO Batman 3 including the Vita and 3DS editions won't get access to the Season Pass or the cool DLC coming for these games. Amazon has the Vita version as £5 less than the main versions, which is little consolation.




The DLC will be available individually, but there's no sign of that being available to portable owners, although the 11/14 EU release date is still some way off. Warner Bros is adding the Season Pass to flog extra content after first sale, which is fair enough, from a money-grabbing perspective. But, it could at least offer it across all the games.

Only the major consoles and PC are getting the pass. The DLC will add an extra 40 new playable characters, vehicles, missions and achievements to the roster including Bane, classic Batman and more. Why they couldn't be in the core game (which I think has some 150 odd folk anyway) will be a business decision as Warner tries to milk these games for all they are worth.

The first three packs; Dark Knight, Batman 75th Anniversary and Man of Steel Pack, cost £2.55 while a season pass gets you all six for £12.79, a saving of £2.50.
