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 ...

One Piece Burning Blood dies on its arse at retail

Ouch, the only sign of Bandai's latest is sneaking into the laughably weak UK retail Vita chart. One Piece Burning Blood can't quite topple Minecraft off the top, but at least it made an appearance, as neither the Xbox One or PS4 versions show up on any chart - weird! And overall, it only crept into the top 40 at No. 37.



Hopefully it will show up better on digital sales, will update with the PSN Vita Top Sellers when that show's this week's data. Then again, it only has three ratings, which doesn't sound like massive sales compared to Downwell's 140!

Otherwise Amazon's Amazon Best Sellers list for Vita is a whole bunch of jumbled with Persona 4 DAN the only recent game in the top 10, and God Eater 2 pre-orders ticking over nicely. One Piece is down at 18 for Vita and only no. 89 on PS4, which suggests Bandai screwed up its marketing or nobody likes One Piece brawlers that much.

  1. I was interested only in One Piece Pirate Warriors, but only because it was developed by Omega Force..
