Just for fun, we also hook the Vita up to a Mi-Fi 3G connection. And it was fine over the internet at home. However, we should stress our office's internet connection is shared between hundreds of people and goes through all kinds of relays, so don't take this as a problem everyone will have. Directional inputs seem to stick for too long and there's a small lag between pushing jump and seeing Wander do so on the screen. But while the video stream works well, the controls are glitching. The game runs pretty smoothly and Mr Cundy is overjoyed to see one of his favourite games running on the small screen. In the office, things aren't quite as amazing.

There's also an option on the PS3 (back in the XMB) that allows you to use your Vita to remotely turn on the console over the internet, so it's time to test this baby in the office. There's perhaps a touch more lag in the controls, but nothing major and certainly not enough to make it unplayable.
In our home network, using the same router the PS3 is on, the game runs pretty much identically. With that tested, it's time to test the Internet connection. This uses the rear touch panel on the Vita, splitting it into four quarters, which act as L2/R2 and 元 and R3. The game recommends Type 2 controls (you'll find these in the settings option on the Vita by holding the touch screen for a moment and selecting the suitcase on the lower-right) but Type 3 sounds preferable.
