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.

Media Create sales snooze on in Japan

The hardware sales continue to drift down as Japan waits to see what impact the Nintendo Switch will have. On the Media Create chart, Vita sales dive to below 10K at 9, 626. And there's no Vita action with only Danganronpa V3 sticking around the top 10 and has sold double the PS4's number.

Last week's high entry, Uta no Prince-sama Repeat Love, dives into the low-teens, but still sold another 4,000 - taking it to 33K, not bad for a VN. There's not much out this week to drive sales, but Diabolik Lovers: Lost Eden, Ys Origin and Super Robot Taisen V roll out over the coming fortnight.


Over in this week's Famitsu, the latest scores are out with:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII + Power-Up Kit  – 9/8/9/9 [35]
Diabolik Lovers: Lost Eden – 8/8/8/9 [33]
Nidhogg – 7/7/6/7 [27]
