Handheld versions are really scales back compared to the console versions. Not to mention that DS/3DS us the lead platform and then ported to Vita. So adjust your expectations.
With that said, they're still fun games.

Is this on the wii u eshop? Might get this instead of AC4.
No. They're different games. One (Vita) is level based and the other has an open world hub. Consoles versions are better.

No, they aren't. Pretty sure they're just 3DS ports. Pick up the console or PC version instead.
The game's just gone up on Steam for anybody waiting on that:

Thanks guys. I think ill just hold off until the PS4 version drops in price.
Not sure if the other versions are like this, but the Wii U version contains a bonus DVD containing episodes of Ultimate Spider-Man, Marvel Avengers Assemble, and Hulk and the Agents of SMASH. Instead of a physical manual, it has a build guide for some kind of helijet (I think) if you own certain LEGO sets.

Has anyone played the vita version of this game? Going on vacation tomorrow and just want something to play on the plane. I hope this game doesn't blow completely on the vita.

Could you post photos of that build guide?

I would go in with different expectations and the game will be great. No open world, and it is a port of the 3DS version.

I'm waiting on a copy from Gamefly. But if you've seen footage of LEGO Batman 2 or LOTR for Vita, assume that's what we're in for.

Mine didn't. Just a game disc, and nothing in place of a manual.
I'm finding it weird that Spider-Man can't use the terminals for really smart characters, but Black Widow can.
Can you please tell us if Wii U version allows a second player to use the U pad screen in multiplayer. I don't mean off TV play, but much like Sonic Racing can my son for instance have his own view of the game on the pad while I play off the TV at the same time?
Thanks.

I've been out of the loop on the past few installments on the Lego games, but I downloaded the demo for my 360 today and Marvel is coming off as a lot of fun. In the past I have always played a little of the games and then move on quickly, because they're always really easy and there is no challenge. Lego Marvel on the other hand, pulling from material that I am a big fan of, it may get a full purchase from me in the near future.

Does anyone know if the PS3 version lets you sign into two different profiles while playing local co-op ala LBP?

Question for any that may know. I bought this on Steam from GetGamesGo. I already have the key and have activated it in Steam. I know it isn't showing up since it doesn't get released, as far as I can tell, until 2:00 p.m. (ten minutes from now). I left my computer on and Steam open and left for work.
Should it automatically start downloading it, or because it wasn't even showing up yet, will I have to completely restart Steam for it to start downloading? I'm hoping to come home from work and be able to play it, but I'm afraid it won't even start downloading.

My son wanted to play the new Toy Story playset on Disney Infinity, sorry! I'll try in a few minutes.

I even took a picture to demonstrate:
I went to opposite ends of the same room to show that you have a different view on the Game Pad and TV

And way overpriced when the same game will show up on iOS in a few months for $7 or less.

Thank you! Is it just those two photos?
No, it's a pretty thick book. Over 50 steps.
Looks like someone beat me to it (gamepad play)

People with the game, how are the open world flight controls? Are they better than they were in Lego Batman 2 or are they the same? Just curious
Yes.

Wow, this almost makes me wish I'd gotten it on Wii U instead of PC.

This. I'd prefer to play on the vita. I know it's a different build but damn it's disappointing to know the Lego games have been shit on the vita. Ugh

Damn. Im at work for another 8 hours. I hope they have the DLC available for this game on Steam. Otherwise I'll pick up a cheap console version a few months down the line.

Yeah it's a shame. The Lego formula would work so well on a handheld like the Vita too. At least with the PS4 version you should be able to stream it. Because of the way the game is made, the controls should easily transfer over too

How badly do the graphics get downgraded in multiplayer?
Not bad, but framerate suffers. Probably low 20s at times. It's not terrible though, in a game like this
Edit: wow. Goes down to the teens during a pan around the helicarrier
The best Lego games playable on Vita happen to be Lego Batman (PSP) and Lego Indiana Jones (PSP). Not sure if Lego Star Wars II is transferable via PS3, because it's not on PSN for Vita.
Play those and ignore the horrible gimped versions (including this Marvel game) made for Vita/3DS/DS.
Its because the lego games are not popular online. Just look at GAF for instance, the Batman AO OT is 4x the size of this one, yet they were made roughly at the same time and that game isn't even out yet.
Yes.

Thanks for this! I like comics too!
