    Anyone figured out how to use a Vita as a controller?

    Or was that feature not shipped in the game? I've got the game downloaded on both systems but neither makes mention of the other in any of the options menus. I also tried using the Cross-Controller app on the Vita, but opening Guacamelee on the PS3 doesn't seem to trigger the app like it should.

    @tafae: Here ya go:

    With Guacamelee installed on your PS3:

    1. Register your Vita with your PS3
    2. Start Guacamelee on the PS3
    3. From the Vita Live Area, select REMOTE PLAY
    4. Tap START (do not tap the Cross-Controller button)
    5. Tap on ‘Connect via Private Network’
    6. If you get a black screen, then you have connected successfully. You will get an error message if you failed to connect.
    7. The Vita screen will display the map once you select ‘New Game’ or ‘Continue’ from Guacamelee’s main menu.

    @l1fef0rm: People have been saying you can only control the second character in co-op with the Vita. I wonder though, if you reassign your DualShock to be controller number 2 before starting Remote Play on the Vita, if the game might register the Vita as the main controller instead.

    I've tried turning the first controller off. I'll give your idea a shot. It seems dumb to only offer this option to the second player.

    I was going to say 'why would I want to do this', but the whole map thing does sound pretty awesome.

    Guess I'll be trying this out tonight.

    Just played it using the Vita as a second screen and it pretty cool. Kinda wish I could use the map at all time like moving it and zooming in instead of having to pause the game to use it, which ends up having the map on the big screen. This is a cool feature to have for future cross play games for Sony platforms.
