The biggest failing of the original PSP was that scarcely any developers took the time to create something that played to the system's strengths, instead opting to create scaled-down, 'mini' versions of games you'd always want to play on a far bigger screen. For Media Molecule though (the chaps behind Little Big Planet) creativity is what they've built an identity on, and when the remixed PS Vita gave way to things like a back touch pad and screen that could be swiped and flicked to change things in-game, they were off to the races. From the game snapping your face and animating it as the world's sun to rattling the back pad to affect the game world or even peeling in-game stickers using the touch-sensitive screen, this is the nearest Sony have ever come to tapping into that quintessential 'Nintendo magic' everyone thought could never be replicated.
