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!

Media Create chart dominated by Final Fantasy XV

Twitter today is full of pics from new buyers, showing off their red or silver models, no sign of the Minecraft LE though, although they could be in the post. Those sales will count for next week's chart, but in the Media Create chart up to 4th December, the Vita did okay as seasonal sales kick in, selling over 20,000 for the first time since the spring.


Final Fantasy XV romps away with the no. 1 spot this week, selling almost 700,000 copies and helping the PS4 sell over 118,000 units. No new entries for the Vita, but SD Gundam GG and Minecraft stick around the top 10. A couple of Vita games made it into the latest Famitsu reviews, with the so-so looking Square title getting a decent score.

  • Adventure Time: Nameless Oukoku no Sannin no Princess – 7/7/7/6 [27]
