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 ...

Last Limited Run games revealed for Vita

DrinkBox Studio's Guacamelee and Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack are the first of the final wave of Vita games from Limited Run, both launching Friday, June 14th. Also on the way are:

Pix the Cat (review) - 21 June
Super Mutant Alien Assault (review) - 5 July 
Atari Flashback Classics - July
Metal Slug 3 (review) - 12 July
Damascus Gear Operation Osaka and Damascus Gear Operation Tokyo - 2019
Deadbolt (review) - 2019
Revenant Dogma (trailer) 2019
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken and Rocketbirds 2: Evolution - 2019
Super Meat Boy - 2019
Papers Please - 2020

Not a bad collection, but no word on production run yet. Good luck if you can afford them all or are fortunate enough to beat the queues over the remaining months of Vita life and a great way for Limited Run to sign off having helped make the Vita such a collectible in the first place. Thanks to them, Josh Fairhurst and crew for supporting all the developers, and good luck if you want to pick these up.

Hopefully other publishers will keep going a while longer via Japanese production lines, as long as there are worthwhile sales figures and a few curios to dig up. Personally, looking forward to the Damascus Gear games that I've never really got into before.


Here's the full Limited Run presentation with all the Vita stuff neatly at the front, plus plenty of Star Wars games and a healthy future in Switch and PS4 titles.
