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.

NG top scores in Famitsu, plus latest Media Create data

While the Vita crawls toward 6 million sales in Japan over 7 years, Nintendo announced the Switch hit 5 million sales in a little under two years in its home country, rapidly closing in on the PS4's 7 million.

I was away last week, and just as well as the Vita did a summer flop down to 2,540 (down along with most hardware, except the PS4 Pro) according to the Media Create sales figures. Even so, still not bad for a what's fast becoming a gaming anachronism. On the game chart, VN Killer and Strawberry popped into the chart selling a decent 4,532 at No. 17.

This week's figures aren't much better, down a little more at 2,452 falling in line with most other hardware, except Switch rooted at 45K units. Otomate title Pio Fiore sold a hefty 5,153 copies to land at No. 19.




On the plus side Vita exclusive horror game NG aka "No Good" scored eights across the board as the joint top scoring game in this week's Famitsu reviews. It should make a decent impact on the chart when it releases next week.
