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 .

Metal Gear dominates Japanese Charts, Vita runs and hides

Metal Gear is top of the Media Create chart in Japan, in a tactical move that will surprise no one. Infinite Stratos 2 is the only Vita new entry in a quiet week overall. Vita sales were down a around 1,000 in light traffic.

1. Metal Gear Solid V, Konami, 293,652 PS4
2. Metal Gear Solid V, Konami, 117,547 PS3
...
8. Minecraft, Sony 8,355 PS Vita
9. Infinite Stratos 2, Mages 7,643 PS Vita


The Vita probably won't do much next week, but the week after that Resident Evil Revelations 2 should give things a bit of a bump. That along with the new Samurai Warriors and a host of Otome games including Spring and Edition should make for decent numbers.
