Capcom reveals PS Vita extras for fall release

Need a reason to pick up Street Fighter X Tekken for PlayStation Vita? How about a dozen? Today, Capcom revealed that while a portable version of its crossover fighter won't be released until the latter half of 2012, it will feature 12 additional characters.

The PS Vita add-ons will include combatants from both franchises. Street Fighter fans will get Elena, Guy, Sakura, Blanka, Cody, and Dudley; while Tekken enthusiasts will be greeted with Alisa, Christy, Jack, Brian, Lars, and Lei.

It's possible these new characters will be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 as DLC sometime after the PS Vita version lands in fall. For now, console owners will have to take solace in the fact they get to play Street Fighter X Tekken months earlier when it arrives on March 6 in North America, and March 9 in Europe. PC owners will also have a slight advantage, with their version expected to drop in May.
