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.  Update: the Vectrex Kickstarter is live and blew past its first funding goal in ab out 15 minutes, and approaching £450K and 2,500 backers in its first day.   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.

Black Butterfly flutters into the Japanese chart as sales drift down

Hot on the heels of Sony's results, the Japanese chart is nearly ready to wake up with the first big games of 2015, but not quite. There's a smattering of new entries in Media Create's chart, but not even new No. 1 Devil Survivor 2 on 3DS can muster much in the way of sales.

The Vita manages another 12,400 sales, losing a 3,000 on last week, but with Persona 4 Golden getting a "Best of" budget release this week and Ukiyo Bruno Warriors and Sengoku Musuo 4 II arriving the week after, things should start stirring.

There's one new game charting this week, squeaking in at No. 18. Kurochou no Psychedelica (Psychedelia of the Black Butterfly) from Idea Factory managed to shift 5,318 copies. Dururara Relay failed to chart in the top 20, which is grim for Kadokawa who seemed to be hyping it a lot. 

To show how many smaller games there are on the Vita, Famitsu's chart which goes down to No. 30 has six Vita titles in it, most of them lower-order new entries.
