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.

Dungeon Travelers 2-2 sells well in Japan

The latest Media Create chart data continues to show flatlining Vita sales, but games do still sell well, and its that fact that will keep the Vita rolling into 2018, and probably beyond. In this week's chart, Dungeon Travelers 2-2 from AquaPlus lands at No. 4 as the only Vita game in the top 20, selling 27,381 copies. Famitsu had it as selling 30K copies (60-80% of its shipment).

Out this week in Japan are Akiba's Beat, Exile Election and Gun Gun Pixies and a bunch of visual novels which might dent the chart next week, but No. 1 will very definitely by Mario Kart!


On the hardware side, Vita sales are down to 5,164, continuing a gentle slide down to wherever this ride ends up.  There's still no sign of Sony's for the kids campaign kicking off, but when it comes to the Vita, the company has hardly been in a hurry!
