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 .

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.

Hatsune Miku not top billing on the Media Create chart

Japan's chart is alive with the sound of new entries, but Hatsune Miku is squashed into third by the latest Dark Souls release and a spin-off Dragon Quest game. Despite that and the arrival of DoA Venus, which was outsold 2-1 by the PS4 version, Vita hardware sales were only up 1,000 on last week to a smidge over 20,000.

01./00. [3DS] Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 (Square Enix) - 368.665 / NEW
02./00. [PS4] Dark Souls III (From Software)  - 210.141 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X (Sega)  - 69.438 / NEW
04./00. [PS4] Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune  (Koei Tecmo) - 44.723 / NEW

...
20./08. [PSV] Gundam Breaker 3 (Bandai ) - 4.908 / 105.708 (-44%)

 I'm sure Sony will still be pretty happy with 20,000 Vita sales a week, plus the odd big kicker when the next God Eater arrives, but for the next couple of weeks, the release list looks pretty bare in Japan.
