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?

Media Create flatline continues, how long until Sony starts developing for Switch?

Zombie Vita sales continue bouncing around the 4,600 mark, with no new games in the Media Create chart for the handheld. Even with Switch pretty much sold out around Japan, no one beyond this mythical few thousand seems keen to pick up the Vita, and Sony hasn't shown off a new colour or promotional model in months, missing the simplest of tricks.

Clearly, Switch will be the next Vita, but Sony just letting it walk in and take over the world remains pretty embarrassing. How long until Sony starts developing its own IP titles (more LocoRoco rather than Uncharted) for the Switch? The clock is ticking I think!

UPDATE - and here we go, Sony Music's new game brand publishing on Switch!


Down in Famitsu land, haven't seen any review scores this week, but a few Vita games appear in the most-wanted chart. This shows there's still interest, but how long until these, or certainly any 2018 titles, swap over to Nintendo's baby.
