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.

Luminous Arc Infinity lights up the Japanese Chart

While nothing is going to stop that Animal Crossing, Yokai Watch combo at the top on 3DS, the Vita does manage the highest new entry in the Japanese Media Create chart at No. 5 with Marvelous' Luminous Arc Infinity.

Further down Gal Gun on Vita outsells the PS4 version by 700 copies but Ray Gigant has vanished instantly after a poor start on last week's chart.

01./01. [3DS] Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer # (Nintendo)  181.377 / 703.933 (-65%)
02./02. [3DS] Yo-Kai Watch Busters: Red Cat Team / White Dog Squad (Level 5)  84.939 / 1.202.789 (-21%)
03./04. [WIU] Splatoon (Nintendo)  35.620 / 519.034 (+26%)
04./05. [3DS] Rhythm Heaven: The Best+ (Nintendo)  18.852 / 392.837 (+31%)
05./00. [PSV] Luminous Arc: Infinity (Marvelous) 16.217 / NEW
06./10. [PSV] Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition (Sony) - 8.100 / 280.140 (-5%)...
10./03. [PSV] IA/VT: Colorful # (Marvelous)  - 5.902 / 44.783 (-85%)...
12./00. [PSV] Gal Gun: Double Peace # (Alchemist) - 5.792 / NEW...
15./11. [PSV] Taiko no Tatsujin: V Version (Bandai Namco)  - 4.879 / 79.302 (-35%)

 No time for the little sales chart right now, but Vita hardware sales are down a few hundred, seemingly to live forever behind the PS4 now and being menaced by the Wii U.
