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.

Something else for me to learn, Osomatsu-san!

Who the, what the, why the? I'm guessing this is the Japanese Family Guy or something. Never having heard of it before, but apparently its the Vita's next big thing. Very big! Very, very, big. if you believe the gibbering rattling around the forums.

A big hit last year in Japan, my research so far suggests it involves a family identical sextuplets, shouting, cats, screeching and big teeth. All these is the one piece of art for now, even on Amazon Japan, but I'd imagine the game will follow the manga and anime lines.

Idea Factory is releasing an Otome title based on the series, as a Vita exclusive. So, I guess its time for me to binge watch that, having just finished finding out what the hell Attack on Titan was all about.

Depending on where you read, it'll be crap but huge, great but niche, and already western anime fans all calling for a translation. To boost sales in Japan, there are six special editions, one for each main character, which seems a big stretch. Release date is 2017.
