WOOOOOOOOOO! ok so thats 1 good game.

Most random news all day. Heard the first was great, just not my type of game.

Hey, this gives me another reason to buy a Vita. 
 
Something I was hoping wouldn't happen. 

Damn, I really enjoyed the first game, and this is the first thing that makes me want a Vita. With such a lack of interest for the Vita, I really hope it's released on some other platform.

• Konami are publishing.
• Corobo and Apricot from the first game will return.
• The characters will have more realistic proportions than in the first game.
• The controls will be touch-based.
• The game will be playable in Sony's booth at Tokyo Game Show.

The first screenshots:

There's a trailer now. Embedding doesn't seem to work for whatever reason, so I'll just leave a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=JGhahopTBZ4&hd=1

I'm really looking forward to this :]

It coming out tomorrow.

I would really appreciate it if someone bought it and tell me if it was awesome or not. It'll probably greatly influence whether I buy a Vita or not.

Is this game going to be download only? none of the stores have it listed..

@robcat09: It's download only in the US, but EU got a retail release.

I've noticed this, too. WHat is this game??

The colour palette seems a little dull and washed out. Was hoping for something a little more vibrant. Wont stop me from buying it though, the first one was tons of fun.

So what's this game actually called? Wikipedia and MobyGames gave me nothing.

@Video_Game_King: New Little King's Story.

Do you have another source?

@TooWalrus:

Really? That's kinda lame. You're supposed to wait, like, twenty years before you get to call it New _______.

@Video_Game_King: I'm not sure why you'd doubt this, a simple Google search turns up plenty of hits, but anyway - how about the official trailer:

If it makes you feel better, in Japan, it's called The King, The Demon King and the 7 Princesses: New King Story.

Needs more 王.

@Video_Game_King: I TOTALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! I'd actually love to learn Japanese, but I'm working full time and finishing university right now, so I just don't have much free time to study it... Maybe after I graduate next year and I'm finally free, I'll pick up some rosetta stone or something. What would you recco- wait, I think you made a whole thread dedicated to learning Japanese at some point, eh?

Totally. I still stand by my bitching and claims about stoned Japanese girls.

So can anyone confirm if this is actually a brand new game or just a remake of the Wii game for the Vita? I've seen conflicting info.

It's a re-imagining. What I've heard it's a new story, new gameplay, new art direction "anime", and of course touch controls.

7 Princesses, eh? So still plenty of hooking up and divorces in this one, then?

It's called "New Little King's Story." The source? Me buying it last night. And it's good!

So is this a download-only joint? I can't find it on Amazon, but it appears to be available.

I'm think it's download only. I cant find it at any retailers.

The Vita version is just as fun but boy did they tard up the story. I love the Wii version's less is more approach

in the US. Japan and Europe get boxed copies.

I wonder how different this iteration will be compared to the first. I say that because Cing and Marvelous previously worked together on Little King's Story.

I wonder why the US didn't. The Wii version did pretty well here in the states I thought.

Isn't it supposed to be a sequel? Never played the Wii game, but considering how the characters treat each other, there is some background between them that makes me feel like I missed something. Or it's just bad writing :D

However, I like the mix of RPG and strategy/building. It's a retail game here in Europe btw.

perhaps I should pick this up, I kinda liked the first one, but not that much... GB needs to get some capture equipment for the Vita so I can make informed buying decisions...

Picked it up today, gonna play it at the office this evening. Forty damn dollars, man. Jesus.
