THE BUZZ: Now that you’ve got that shiny new Vita, are you looking to spend some quality handheld time with Sackboy? If so, here’s when you can look forward to his arrival.

EGM’s TAKE: The date? June 26th, as announced on the LittleBigPlanet Vita Facebook page. Not too long of a wait, but also long enough to get it clear of the launch line-up and to the point where Vita owners will be looking for something new.

LittleBigPlanet Vita will definitely be one of the games that’ll make great use of the Vita’s touch abilities—crafting and editing stages will be far easier and more natural when using your fingers.
