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.

Evercade EXP bonus Capcom content revealed

There's already plenty of buzz around the new and improved Evercade EXP handheld model (latest boxart added below), but we can always do with a little extra, right? So, to keep interest ticking over, the company just dropped a list of bonus content that's coming out exclusively for the EXP model to get us all upgrading this winter, as if the improved hardware isn't enough. The video just streamed, hopefully will be available on catch up very shortly. 

Update, preorders are now up, various countries and stores listed. In the UK, Funstock and Game are taking orders, finally up on Amazon UK

Update to the update: The delivery date has moved from November 24th to 15th December, making a great Christmas present! 


The great news is, The Evercade EXP comes with The Capcom Collection built in with 18 arcade games including Street Fighter 2, the 194x series, Mega Man (console games), Commando, Final Fight and many more, all built-in. Hopefully there will be a cart release for other Evercade system owners, and its not hard to imagine Capcom Collection 2 turning up in 2023.
  

Reminder, the black Evercade EXP model was exclusive to Funstock and is likely sold out, the white model will be the one going on pre-order later in September. Specifications include a 4.3” high resolution 800×480 IPS screen with glass cover, improved 1.5GHz processor and 4GB RAM, USB-C charging, 720p Mini HDMI Output, Tate-mode for vertical games and WiFi for updates and more "secret" features.
