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?

Monster Hunter X destroys Japanese Charts, Criminal Girls 2 can't compete

While Monster Hunter X sells 1.5 million on launch, Japanese Vita gamers will have to make do with Neptunia War vs Sega Hard girls, selling some 100 times less at 15K at No. 6. Criminal Girls 2 also sells 15,000 in at No. 8 on the Media Create chart, while Atelier Sophie and Omega Labyrinth are already vanishing out the chart with just over 30,000 each.

On the hardware side, Vita and Vita TV do get a rise up to 15,400, but the "New 3DS LL" sells over 100K, just like that. Can't see next week's Stein's Gate 0 release doing a huge amount to help. All hope lies on Dragon Quest Builder in January it seems.
