OK, I immediately thought to myself, maybe that just means the game will be even prettier than its Wii-based predecessor. Like, maybe it'll be in HD or something.
Don't expect to see such cute characters in New Little King's Story.
Then I read another post (this morning) on andrisang.com that said: "While the Wii version had cute 'super deformed' style characters, the Vita characters have more realistic proportions."
As if that weren't bad enough, it's currently unknown as to whether or not Yasuhiro Wada or Yoshiro Kimura, executive producer and producer/ director of the original Little King's Story, respectively, are at all involved in the development of the sequel.
Don't worry, Sony fanboys and fangirls, even if New Little King's Story ends up being the gaming equivalent of a steaming pile of dog poo, I'll probably still get a Vita at some point in the future--especially since the folks who made last year's critically acclaimed DS title, 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, are working on a similar game for the Sony's PSP successor (as well as the 3DS).
The cast of Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die.
The game, called Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes (aka Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die), will be a "game of betrayal," according to developer Chunsoft, and will feature nine people who must escape from a warehouse in which they're trapped.

Just judging from the lack of commercial success of Little King's Story, I'm surprised there's a sequel in the works at all.
ReplyDeleteI want to get a Vita but mainly for other reasons.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Justin. The game didn't light up the sales charts in any region, as far as I can remember -- although it should have.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, if this New Little King's Story used the same art style as its predecessor, I'd pick it up in a heartbeat. As it stands now, though, I'm thinking I might not buy it at all.
Hey there, xerosbeat! What do you want a Vita for, then? Any specific games?
ReplyDeleteDid you ever play 999, Brian? I've always wanted to check it out but never got around to it. As for Little King's Story... I'll put that on my list for when I finally get a Wii ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry I have another friend named Brian, Bryan! My mistake D:
ReplyDeleteAnne: I've played just a bit of it thus far, but I've definitely like what I've played! That's why I'm so hyped for this sequel/successor/whatever. Not sure if I'll buy the 3DS version or the Vita version, though...
ReplyDeleteAs for Little King's Story -- yes, get it! It's one of the best third-party offerings for Wii, IMO. Well worth whatever you'd pay for it.
Oh, and no worries about misspelling my name. I'll answer to just about anything :P
ReplyDeleteSome screens of the new Little King's Story were posted! It doesn't look too bad to me (though why bother changing the proportions so little when they were already cute before?) http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/08/25/via_little_king/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed
ReplyDeleteOh, that's not so different! I mean...it's a different art style almost entirely, but the characters just look a bit more...grown up.
ReplyDeleteOh, you're right! I still like the Wii version's art style better, but the Vita version looks much better than I thought it would -- and good enough for me to want to buy it :) I don't think I'm going to rush order a Vita when it comes out, though. Definitely going to get a 3DS first. Anyway, thanks for posting that link, Anne!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree, Justin. The art style *is* different, but not in a bad way. Anyway, now I want to know how it plays!
ReplyDeleteBTW, some folks are saying this is a remake of the Wii game. If so, my hype for the game is once again in the toilet.
