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.

Samurai Warriors 4 II Survival Mode in action

Here's a peek at one of the new modes in Tecmo's Samurai Warriors 4 II, coming to PS4, PS4 and Vita soon.

In the new Survival Mode, players pick a favourite character and enter a daunting castle with endless levels and countless rewards! Defeating thousands of enemies and completing objectives results in collecting weapons and mounts to be used in the story mode of the game, but only if the player escapes the castles before the health or time bars deplete.


The higher the climb, the more difficult and numerous the enemies are, and the more lucrative the rewards. In addition, the Survival Mode offers a Challenge Mode option, which allows players to set high scores in various Chambers:


  • The Chamber of Trials is all about defeating as many enemies as possible within a given time frame. 
  • The Chamber of Riches focuses on collecting as much gold as possible before time runs out. 
  • The Chamber of Agility tests the player’s skill as it requires them to defeat enemy standard bearers and reach a target destination in time. 
  • The Chamber of Death poses an extreme challenge as enemies deal overpowering blows that could kill low level playable characters instantly!!
