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.

God Eater 2 Rage Bursts through the Japanese chart

No surprise but Bandai Namco's God Eater 2: Rage Burst is No.1 in Japan for the Vita, selling 234,180 copies beating out the PS4 version which sold a lowly 38,000. That's only down by around 25K on GE2's original launch week figure.

The Vita version is also No. 1 on the Japanese PSN, so combine Media Create's physical sales, those of the natty limited edition and digital sales, total numbers should be somewhere in the region of awesome. All things being equal, that should ensure we get Rage Burst in the west too!


Elsewhere in the chart, a few niche games tacked themselves on to the tail of the chart while Sengoku Musou 4-II is losing steam fast (last week's details here.) On the hardware side, Vita sales tripled on last week to 35,200 while Vita TV sales remained sadly flat around 750 units. So, just shy of 36,000 units for a nice spike in the graph.
