Actually we have approximations to that but it depends on what your original formula.
I mean we have approximation to x/y when x=0 and y=0.

Judging from the post, it's one of the SCEE teams. I believe they developed a 2012 Europe-only PSP port of the 2011 Wii/PS3 Phineas & Ferb game, so it wouldn't be unprecedented.

It's because you divide zero by zero infinite times and you'll still have room to divide it by zero again. Alternatively, you can argue that 0 divided by 0 is 1, since n divided by n is always 1, regardless of what number n is. It's a funny ol' world.
On topic content: why? I say that as a proud Vita owner, but I doubt anyone is willing to buy this since they're all old enough to look up reviews which all say that it's fairly dire.

I don't want to get banned for talking off-topic and derailing the thread, but just this one last time:
0 divided by 0 is undefined, however any fractional function a/x converges towards infinity for x->0, a->0. Based on that knowledge we can solve a lot of formulas with the assumption 0/0 = inf. But that is just a sloppy way to write it.
But if you divide 1 by 1 infinite times you can still divide it by 1 over and over again.
Gah, we couldn't make up some crap like we did with the square root of a negative number?
Anyways, with regard to Epic Mickey 2, I kinda wished they would've went with the 3DS version instead. Unless that's too hard to port...? (Can't see why).
Also the SCE logo on the package points to Sony porting this itself.
But only if they finished it, there were clearly planned levels and bosses they didn't put in, probably due to time constraints. Could've been decent with that stuff and removal of the touch screen mechanics.

Kids nowadays want a tablet, ipod, or smartphone. My nephew was big on PSP and DS, ever since getting a new ipod last year all he wants is an ipad/ipad mini. No Vita, no 3DS, even though he still plays the PSP and DS every now and again.
Aren't SCE logos on every box? They shouldn't be porting any 3rd party games IMO and the fact that they would choose this POS and not Borderlands 2 or Angry Birds as was rumored would be baffling.

I'm happy to be getting more console depth games on handheld.
would consider this when hits 25 dollars

Sony Computer Entertainment's logo is on the box art.
Also, the PS Blog post was made by "Alex Moyet – SCEE Junior Product Manager", and he refers to work on the game as "we". I actually think one of Sony's studios is handling this one.
Is this what it's come to?

If Sony can port third party games to Vita, why don't they port good ones?
This is really what I was saying actually, I may not have been clear though.
After all, the interest in this case is a function that is close to 0, amirite?
Also why would SCE choose this game over....well over anything else really.

I really liked the first epic mickey, and really wanted to try the 2nd game, but it didn't get very good reviews. I wanted to pick it up on PS3. Maybe at a bargin price.
which Sony development studio is doing this? hopefully Bluepoint!

Seeing as this was originally a Wii game I'd assume porting it would be easy quick and cheap as assets wouldn't need to be scaled down

If SCEE is handling this, it makes a bit more sense. They had some success pushing PSP as a kids' platform in Europe, and they're probably hoping to do the same with Vita later this year with a price cut, EM2, the Lego games, Tearaway, and Invizimals.

NO, Bluepoint should be given their own game for the Vita. Especially if they use the engine they created for PSASBR.
...again, against Pokemon?
SCEE better release an Invizimals Vita game

According to Takao they are later this year to coincide with a new TV series.

Oh, it's not at all likely to succeed. It's just more likely to do so than a redux of last holiday's dudebro push.
They are, to coincide with the cartoon at the end of this year.

Wow, so random. I'll buy though, despite it being a rather poorly designed game, I had fun with the PS3.
Who am I kidding, I'm starving for a new Vita game.

The game nobody wants on the platform nobody owns. Sounds like a perfect match.
Disney must be desperate to try to squeeze more sales out of this game by porting it to Vita.
Well I don't know I mean it's not coming to a platform that is starved of games either...
I mean it's not coming for WiiU, is it?
So online co-op?

Wow, I can't wait to see the framerate on this one. I still have nightmares about the giantbomb stream of the Wii U version. Could this be even worse???
Hopefully they've make sufficient nips and tucks to prevent that.
After all, the game runs just fine on the Wii.
You mean to say that Epic Mickey 2 Wii is a better product than Epic Mickey 2 WiiU?

The Wii version was apparently the best version full stop
Yes.
