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. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Vita games aplenty from Kadokawa's Japan event

Aside from the two new games announced by Kadokawa games overnight with launch trailers, God Wars and Root Letter, there's plenty more good stuff from the publisher.

That should definitely come our way based on the original's success. That's moved on from its end-of-2015 release, and slightly more worrying, they are asking fans for ideas in the game, which isn't going to end well.

In a related note, the Bandai-published Experience RPG Ray Gigant, that kind of bombed in Japan, has just picked up a European trademark, suggesting they hope that the game (with great big monsters to bash) will find a more appreciative audience here.


In partnership with Falcom, Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd Evolution was also announced, which should bring a trilogy of massive RPGs to the Vita, although release formats haven't been confirmed.

Not bad for first thing on a cold Tuesday morning! Time to update the release list. Spike Chunsoft has a similar Danganronpa event in early December which should keep the news rolling in.
