Joe Danger on PS Vita to include Tearaway and LittleBigPlanet characters

When Joe Danger and Joe Danger 2: The Movie arrive on PlayStation Vita, they'll include characters from developer Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet series and Tearaway, Hello Games' Alex Wiltshire revealed today on the PlayStation Blog.

Thanks to "a little pub chat with our friends at Media Molecule," Joe Danger 2 will let players race as LittleBigPlanet's Sackboy and Tearaway's Atoi and Iota.

Both games will run at 60 frames per second, just like their console and PC counterparts, according to Wiltshire. Joe Danger will include 84 levels with 25 playable characters and content from the expanded Director's Cut and Laborarory stages. Joe Danger 2 will have 85 levels, 35 playable characters and content from the Undead Movie pack, which was originally released as downloadable content for the PlayStation 3 version.

The handheld ports, created in collaboration with developer Four Door Lemon, will ship with online leaderboards and trophies. According to a comment on the post from Wiltshire, both games will be sold separately.
