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.

Digimon sells 76K on launch

The latest Media Create chart is out in Japan and in a busy week, Bandai's Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth slots in at No. 3 selling 76,760 copies (over 90% of shipped copies), making it the most popular Digimon launch yet. It arrives behind Yakuza 0 on PS3 and PS4, and hopefully this success will help push it to a western release.

In at No. 4 is a PSP otome game (of all things) Song of Prince Sana "Utapri" from Brocolli. Down the list God Eater 2 Rage Burst is just a smidge off (and now probably past) 300,000 sales!

Vita sales nudged up a few hundred to just below 21,000 on the week (still ahead of the new 3DS LL) with Winning Post (selling just 6,000) and a couple of other games out. This week sees Pirate Warriors 3 and a bunch of others out so expect a bigger rise next week.
