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 ...

Minecraft still dominates the UK Vita chart

Apart from the odd week where a big new entry arrives (Persona 4 DAN, Danganronpa Ultimate Despair Girls, Lego Jurassic World [three weeks] and Stein's Gate) Minecraft has been the Vita No. 1 for the vast majority of the year.

That and its huge sales in Japan (probably well over 500,000 by now) should make it the biggest selling Vita game ever, although no one seems keen to trumpet the fact. Anyway, in UK land it continues to sit proud at the top of the retail chart. Last week's chart here.

1. Minecraft
2. LittleBigPlanet
3. Fifa 15
4. Lego Jurassic World
5. Lego Ninjago

Over on the EU PSN, its the usual mix of sales and new entry Bastion managing to depose Helldivers for once:

1. Metal Slug 3
2. Bastion
3. CoD Declassified
4. Ratchet & Clank Trilogy
5. Helldivers

On Amazon UK, we have the same old situation:

1. Minecraft
2. Fifa 15
3. Lego Jurassic World
4. CoD Declassified
5. Lego Ninjago

Don't expect much to change until Lego Marvel Avengers arrives in January, which should manage decent sales as the Vita version goes open world for the first time.
