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. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Sony puts out a belated E3 Vita video

I guess this will roll out around the regions, but it looks like while all eyes were on Los Angeles, you had to check in with New Zealand to find out what was going on with the Vita. If this is the clip they showed at E3 when the cameras were panning around, it offers a reasonable mix of third parties and indies.

Reports say there are no Vita units on Sony's E3 stand, compounding the company's mishandling of the console. But on a brighter note, there's a few games here that are new to me:

  • Kitten Squad, 
  • Death Tales (ah, this used to be called Reaper), 
  • One Way Trip (mentioned last E3, but nothing since)
  • Starlit Adventures (mobile port). 

There's also confirmation that Minecraft Story Mode and Tales of the Borderlands are still on the way.
