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.

Minecraft Vita has sold a million in Japan

With boxed sales at over 750,000 according to Media Create, some basic maths says that 250,000 copies (at least) have been downloaded, as Japan celebrates the portable version of Mojang's block building fun-fest hitting the million mark.

The game got a physical release months after the digital launch, so the red bars will be boxed sales, which have kept the game in the Japanese top 10 pretty much since launch. Congrats to Mojang, although Sony must be furious that someone is showing positive Vita sales figures!


Note, these are Famitsu numbers, which put sales at 1,001,468 by the end of April. The PS3 and PS4 versions have sold around 644,000 between them. Apparently this if the first Vita game to hit a million in Japan, so it probably gets a nice Sony award at the end of year - not bad for a Microsoft game :)
