Just like ModNation Racers, an entirely new version of LittleBigPlanet will be heading to the PlayStation Vita. Once again, the Vita’s hardware will be used to make creating levels and playing the different levels much easier. The level toolbox has been updated and optimized for touch controls, so players can create levels with the use of their fingers.
ModNation Racers will be getting a new title, just for the PlayStation Vita. Announced at Sony’s E3 2011 Press Conference, the PlayStation Vita version of the game isn’t a port of the PS3 or PSP versions. It is entirely a new game, making use of the Vita’s unique feature set.
The rumor from last week has been confirmed – the NGP will be called the PlayStation Vita. Kaz Hirai announced the new name at Sony’s E3 2011 Press Conference in Los Angeles earlier today. The PlayStation Vita will include dual analogue sticks, two cameras and dual touch-screens.
At the E3 2011 Press Conference, Sony has announced an official 3D display as part of the PlayStation range. To go along with the new 3D display, Sony is also releasing a official pair of 3D glasses compatible with a number of 3D TVs. One pair of the glasses will come with the Official 3D display.

Another PS3 title will be heading to the NGP – this time its Hustle Kings. When Hustle Kings came out for PS3 in late 2009, it was lauded for its visuals. And for good reason – it’s the finest looking billiards game ever created. This time, Hustle Kings for NGP will feature not only great visuals, but also the integration of touchscreen controls.

Super Stardust makes it way to Sony’s upcoming portable console, and it’s going to be a blast thanks to the NGP’s dual analog sticks (a portable first!). Super Stardust Delta should feel instantly familiar to anyone who’s experienced Super Stardust HD on PS3. But it’s important to note – Delta is not a port of that 2007 classic. It’s an entirely new game.
