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 ...

A little more Digimon Cyber Sleuth action?

After Bandai's Digmon World farce, the Japanese company has clearly been rooting around last year's assets and realised that Cyber Sleuth was actually pretty good, and dusted down the engine for a pseudo-sequel update, currently being splashed across Japanese magazines.

Listed for Vita and PS4 in Japan, "Hacker's Memory" is likely just a glorified expansion pack, with another hapless victim sucked into cyber space, with a host of new Digimon to play with. Given Cyber Sleuth (review), was very popular in the west by Vita standards, hopefully we'll get a digital release, unless Bandai are still being complete dicks.


UPDATE: Apparently, there's an EU trademark kicking around, so the game is likely coming, but I'm sure Bandai will manage to annoy Vita owners somehow.

UPDATE: The JP Site update is now live with our scary-eyed hero on the front page and a 2017 release time frame.

UPDATE: Western release confirmed for early 2018, there you go, a big name game for the Vita's sixth anniversary(ish).



In Japan, they are shipping the original game with this update, making a neat high-profit bundle.
