@benny: No single game is ever worth buying a whole console imo. It's the library that counts, and Vita is actually building a pretty great one.

Finally. A trailer that gives my hands the praise they so richly deserve.

Okay, the Vita now has one game I'm interested in. Perhaps even highly interested in.

The more games like this (and not like Call of Duty) the Vita gets, the more interested I am in getting one.

Media Molecule always makes such quirky trailers for quirky games with quirky music. Also more games to play on the Vita is good enough for me.

Media Molecule chooses such great music for their stuff, both in the games and marketing material.

Wow. Very cool. I'm not one for buying a system just for one game, but this has pushed me one huge notch closer to getting myself a Vita.

Sony, you better be paying these dudes handsomely.

Really really charming style and music. However i hate it when the gameplay is so gimmicky. Blowing and screaming was never fun in any game. Some DS games tried it, didnt like it then. Il wait for reviews to see if its all like that or just some segments.

Wow, this is the only thing I have seen on the Vita thus far that I'm really actually interested in (and it is a game that looks like it could only be made for the Vita, which I always like).

Love It.

This is the closest I've seen to a kill app on Vita. It appears to make very good use of the unique features of the device and couldn't work on PS3. I think a lot of the creativity of Lionhead went to Media Molecule.

Dude Moonrise Kingdom is my favorite movie that came out this summer. This game has a lot of that charm that made that movie so great. Hope this turns out well.

@Snakepond: well then how dare you not buy Gravity Rush good sir! ....actually I still haven't played it either. I need to finish it.

I thought Gravity rush was pretty, but overall had extremely janky controls, and not fun. Didn't understand the hype for that game at all.

Not sure why people have been bashing the vita so much for lack of content. The devise has only been on the shelves for 6 months in the US. Between tearaway, sly cooper, assassins' creed, little big planet, playstation allstars, and Black Ops 2 all coming out relatively soon. We have nothing to complain about.

Because people like to complain, they were talking the exact same way about the 3DS during the same time frame.

Has that literal arts and craft look and feel of Epic Yarn but, in my opinion, look a lot better and almost as cute.

Catchy song and also please tell me that you need to shout like a mad men at your Vita as a game mechanic, I would buy one just so I can do it in public places.

Yeah, let's add screaming as a game mechanic to a portable device. Why then would I ever play this game outside?

Still though, looks cool.

Interesting looking game though I'd want the hero character to just lose it & go after all the enemies in the game with staplers, a disposable lighter & scissors.

I dunno. Media Molecule already got me to spend hundreds on a PS3 because of their irresistible LBP trailers. Sure the game was dripping in charm and polish but the gameplay kind of let me down -  and I'm kinda gettin the same vibe from this.
