Recently Mark Ryan Sallee over at IGN managed to get some hands-on time with the Vita version of UMVC3. He put together this video preview for us that runs us through the basic gameplay. It highlights some graphical differences, comments on how the game feels using the Vita D-Pad, and shows off some touch-control combos. According to Sallee, the touch control combos are “pretty canned” and that he “wouldn’t be afraid” of anyone else using touch controls online. You actually get to see some touch combos by Firebrand and Iron-Fist in the video so judge for yourself. Do you think the touch controls are an unfair advantage or mostly useless?

    wonder if the updates for UMvC3 that usually release for the ps3 and 360 will be released for the vita. Noticed handheld fighters tend to not receive patches/updates for their hand held iterations such as Blazblue and SSFIV3D

    who truly pays attention to the BG? I didn’t even notice the bg didn’t move or anything until one of you said something. If that makes the game perform that much better I’m all for it

    not nearly as much crap going on the screen at once in Uncharted compared to UMvC3.

    Games like that cannot fully utilize that feature, except for the 3Ds’s new firmware that alows DLC.. but I think thats it.
