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.  Update: the Vectrex Kickstarter is live and blew past its first funding goal in ab out 15 minutes, and approaching £450K and 2,500 backers in its first day.   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.

Fate Extella tops UK Vita retail chart

The UK chart finally sees some action after the seasonal sales start to drift. Marvelous manage to grab the top spot in a battle with Koei as Fate/Extella (review) outsells the latest Atelier offering. Neither game manages to dent the all-formats charts, but presumably the publishers are still making enough money to make retail versions worthwhile.


Note that these figure won't include any limited editions from the publisher's own online stores, which is where the majority of sales could come from, given the niche nature of the Vita market.

1. Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star (Marvelous)
2. Atelier Shallie Plus (Gust)
3. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens (TT)
4. Lego Marvel Avengers (TT)
5. Mincraft PlayStation Edition (4J Studios)

Over on Amazon UK's chart, we have the usual mix of new titles and sales madness. What's kind of odd, is that Amazon's sales are incorporated in the official Chart Track data above, and you'd imagine would dominate over regular retailers like GAME, Argos and the few larger online retailers that still stock Vita titles.

1. Need for Speed Most Wanted (Criterion)
2. Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified (Activision)
3. LittleBigPlanet (Sony)
4. Valkyrie Drive (PQube)
5. Corpse Party Blood Drive (Marvelous)
6. Steins Gate 0 (PQube)
7. Atelier Shallie Plus (Gust)
8. Assassin's Creed III Liberation (Ubisoft)
9. Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star (Marvelous)
10. Persona 4 Golden (Atlus)
