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.

Actual new entries in the UK Vita chart

Aquaplus' RPG Dungeon Travelers 2 breaks up the slumber of the Vita UK retail chart with a No. 3 entry that probably means it sold about 202 copies. To be fair, it only sold around 20,000 in Japan - so 1%, yay! Try the free demo on PSN if you want to give this a spin.

In at No. 5 is WRC 5 from Big Ben, which might just have managed 146 sales (guessing wildly here). A shame the series has moved developers from Milestone, and that they stopped working on MotoGP on Vita, which could have sold decent numbers given the cracking season coming to a nail-biting climax.

1. MINECRAFT: PLAYSTATION EDITION (4J STUDIOS)
2. FIFA 15 EA CANADA EA SPORTS (EA)
3. DUNGEON TRAVELERS 2: THE ROYAL LIBRARY (STING)
4. LEGO JURASSIC WORLD TRAVELLER'S TALES (WARNER)
5. WRC 5 KYLOTONN (BIG BEN, UBISOFT)

Who really knows, since the numbers never get published due to the feeble pressure of publishers, and with digital sales these could all be in the gazillions! Minecraft continues its dogged possession of No. 1, perhaps Persona 4 Dancing All Night can nobble it in a few weeks.
