Street Fighter X Tekken for the Playstation Vita Capcom's fighting game now out on Sony's handheld.

So, has anyone really been wanting the ability to play Street Fighter X Tekken on the go? If you own a PS Vita, you now have that option. About a year ago, Daisy and I had the opportunity to preview the game at one of Capcom's Fight Club events, where we even got to meet Seth Killian. If you're interested, you can still check out our event recap with photos as well as our video coverage from that night.

Moving on now, the game was released earlier this year for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 to an excited fanbase, but we haven't heard too much about it since. I gather from discussions with other gamers that a lot of people were disappointed with the game once they got their hands on it. As for Sony's Vita, it is certainly an impressive device, but it's library doesn't have the allure of the 3DS's. Still, Capcom has seen fit to put their fighter on the system. Is anyone exited to play Street Fighter X Tekken on the Vita?

Enjoy some screenshots below, followed by Capcom's press release.
