Mini arcade stick for the Vita possible.

When Street Fighter X Tekken releases next year, PS3 and Vita owners won't need to buy two separate DLCs for both platforms, as producer Yoshinori Ono revealed, they are planning to make the downloadable contents cross-compatible between the two hardwares.

"Yes, they're different hardware, but they're part of the same Playstation family, so to speak, so we're already talking with Sony about ways to sync things together," he said in an interview with Joystiq. "As long as you're using the same PSN account, things you've purchased on the Vita version will work on PS3 and vice versa."

Ono also discussed the possibility of adding a mini arcade stick for the Vita to further expand the experience, you know, maybe similar to the weird looking 3DS slide pad, but with an arcade hardware.

"We're actually talking to Mad Catz about doing something like that," Ono said. "You can't replicate the experience entirely on a portable, but I think if we made a small joystick that you could just keep in your bag, and maybe even if you're in economy class, whip it out during a flight, put your Vita in there, and replicate to some degree the arcade experience, it would be really awesome."

Now that would be cool indeed. Do you agree guys? Street Fighter X Tekken is slated for release next year.
