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.

Minecraft and PSO 2 v3 splash into the Japanese chart

This week's Media Create chart sees a flurry of activity, but that's just the calm before next week's storm. Minecraft, already having sold over 200,000 on digital, makes its way into the retail market with another 36K sales, while the latest update to Phantasy Star Online also shifts a hefty 26K, with Digimon moving another 20K, after last week's low stock launch.

 On the hardware front, once again the Vita outsold the new LL 3DS, shifting 21.5K units while the PS4 is now picking up steam ahead of both of them on 46K. Even so, I have to wonder what Type-0 would have sold if it had arrived on the Vita? It would also have helped if Sony could tie the Vita launch of Resident Evil R2 to that of the main consoles!
