FuturLab has announced Velocity Ultra, a native Vita (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/331102/ps-vita-review-everything-you-need-to-know-about-ps-vita/) version of its highly praised PS Minis game Velocity.

For those hoping for a sequel to the original, Marsden added: "Velocity Ultra is a way for us to establish the Velocity franchise with a wider audience, and we've got plenty more Velocity in the works.
"In fact, we've just published a Velocity Sequel Questionnaire (http://www.futurlab.co.uk/win-velocity-ultra.html) to find out what you want to see in a sequel. If you fill it out, you could win a copy of Velocity Ultra."
Edge described the original as "a new standard bearer" for PS Minis in its 9/10 Velocity review (http://www.edge-online.com/review/velocity-review/).
