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 .

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.

Lego Ninjago sticking around the UK chart

The sad affair that is the UK Vita chart, shows the power of brand this week, with Lego Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin sticking in the top three, while the much-hyped Toukiden Kiwami is already out of the top 10.

With four LEGO games in the chart, the Vita looks condemned to be a kid's toy as far as the retail market is concerned, with the likes of Looney Tunes on the way and most bundles being family focused.

1 = MINECRAFT: PLAYSTATION EDITION SONY 1 22
2 = FIFA 15 EA SPORTS 2 29
3 = LEGO NINJAGO: SHADOW OF RONIN WARNER 3 3
4 + LITTLEBIGPLANET MARVEL SUPERHERO EDITION SONY 5 20
5 + KILLZONE: MERCENARY SONY 6 84
...
13 - TOUKIDEN: KIWAMI KOEI 13 3
