LittleBigPlanet 2 DLC Transforms Vita into a DualShock 3
Posted by Sammy Barker
Wii who?
You didn't think Sony was going to let Microsoft and Nintendo enjoy all the secondary screen excitement did you? During the PlayStation press conference, Jack Tretton announced that a new DLC pack for LittleBigPlanet 2 will take advantage of the PlayStation Vita as an “enhanced” controller for PS3.
The expansion pack will include a new story mode, costumes, decorations, stickers and more. We're excited for more LBP2, are you?

Hopefully this will also patch in some other crossover functions- could do well to get other dev's on board.

From the PlayStation site . .
"Gamers will be able to share content between Assassin's Creed III on PS3 and Assassin's Creed III Liberation on PS Vita by taking advantage of the new Cross-Goods feature.
Cross-Play will let PS3 and PS Vita gamers play against each other no matter where they are. Games to support this feature include WipEout HD on PS3 and WipEout 2048 on PS Vita, and Hustle Kings and MotorStorm RC on both PS3 and PS Vita.
Upcoming games to utilise Cross-Play include STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
The Cross-Controller feature lets gamers use their PS Vita system as a controller in games such as ULTIMATE MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3 on both PS3 and PS Vita and LittleBigPlanet 2 on PS3."

Yeah.... Enjoy trying to use R 2&3 and L 2&3 on the rear panel.
I love vita but it is a terrible substitute for the dualshock.

I'm going to use the magic of the internet to help you out. Take a look.

By my count, that's 42 games at retail-some on PSN- not including any Minis or PSP games from the store.
53 more unreleased. So, there they are . . .

So basically with this DLC you won't need to buy LBP Vita, because all the Vita tools will be available for LBP2.
