LEGO Marvel Super Heroes has been shown off on consoles since its reveal, but don’t forget that handheld versions are also in development for the 3DS, DS, and PS Vita.

Thus far, Warner Bros. has yet to reveal any details or media for the portable release. The publisher has only said that they’ll offer “something different” – whatever that means.

We did at least recently come across one nugget pertaining to the handheld editions. According to GameFly listings, the 3DS, DS, and PS Vita games will be called “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril”.

This implies that the experience will be different on the portable systems, which is understandable. Maybe TT Games’ approach to LEGO Marvel will be comparable to the differences between LEGO City Undercover (a console game, being on Wii U) and LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins (a handheld game, being on 3DS).

In Japan, more copies of Conception II will be available for the PlayStation Vita and the 3DS. Publisher Spike Chunsoft will send out 60,000 units for Vita and another 30,000 units for 3DS.

As far as the split goes, Siliconera points out that there are more games on Sony’s handheld geared toward the “otaku” userbase as opposed to the 3DS, which Conception II fits into. The original Conception was also a PSP-only release. Spike Chunsoft could be banking on consumers upgrading to Vita and supporting the sequel.
