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.

Vita holds steady in Japan as zombies invade Neptunia

The Vita continues its run of tracking above previous years' sales suggesting that things are looking slightly (really, very slightly) up. That can only be thanks to the new Neptunia game crashing into the top 5, while Minecraft and Tokyo Xanadu continue to sell reasonably.

01./00. [3DS] 7th Dragon III Code: VFD (Sega)  - 72.477 / NEW
02./01. [3DS] Yo-Kai Watch Busters:  (Level 5)- 26.512 / 1.654.171 (-6%)
03./04. [WIU] Super Mario Maker # (Nintendo)  - 21.357 / 321.222 (-13%)
04./00. [PSV] Blanc + Hyperdimension Neptunia Vs. Zombie (Compile Heart) - 19.990 / NEW
...
09./16. [PSV] Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition (Sony)  - 8.544 / 367.716 (+13%)
...
12./07. [PSV] Tokyo Xanadu # (Nihon Falcom) {2015.09.30} (¥6.998) - 7.627 / 112.041 (-51%)


 Hardware-wise, the Vita now has five weeks in a row tracking above last year, selling another 15,000+ units this week. It isn't huge, but it will keep the portable going into 2016. Week 44 should be the big one with God Eater Ressurection and Yomawari selling well. 
See last week's numbers.
