Vectrex Mini retro console shatters Kickstarter goal within minutes — it will now cost $173, up from $115 and $150, to secure yours.

The Vectrex Mini retro console exceeded its Kickstarter goal, reaching over €520,000 with 2,600 backers in just 15 minutes. This modern remake of the 1980s Vectrex console features a 5-inch OLED display and includes 12 classic vector games. The original Vectrex was known for its built-in screen, but the Mini version lacks the same visual impact due to its smaller display. The price to secure a Vectrex Mini has increased to $173, and backers who missed the lower tiers can still support the project through retro gaming T-shirt designs or PC emulators. Crowdfunding this project is not a guarantee of receiving the final product, as it is more of an investment in the project's success.
