Seriously, it's clear to see way ahead of its release there is zero chance this thing will replicate the unique experience of the vectrex.

This is just a cheap cash grab which will misrepresent what the vectrex was all about and what playing it felt like. Add this to the pile of worthless nostalgia devices.

There is just no reason for this to exist other to exploit the nostalgia and then immediately disappoint the owner of this product.

How on earth is this better than a raspberry pi with an emulator and an oled monitor? Who the hell needs this vendor to put it a box? Did you notice "injection mold plastic" is literally the first and most prominent feature of this thing? What an utter abysmal joke.

I wish these poor remakes and nostalgia releases fully commit to what they're trying to do. If you can't, just don't do it! We don't need your facsimile junk.
