This interview call it a "sequel", but is it confirmed? With every screenshot I see, I always looks like an "enhanced port": same places, same enemies, same bosses, same units...
With the change of developper, the new art style, the emphasis on DLC in this interview, and the lack of anything new in those screenshot, I'm very worried... And I absolutely LOVED the original.
It's sad that it's still pretty much the only Vita-exclusive title I'm looking forward to...

As far as I know it's a sequel. The first Little King's Story was about becoming a king, right? This one starts with already as the king, and your land becomes in jeopardy, as far as I can recall.

If anyone recalls, the original developer for the game was Cing, whom unfortunately went out of business due to the fact that they insisted on making niche Japanese games. They were pretty much what Grasshopper Studios might have become in an alternate universe.
So as EggmaniMN is saying, this isn't Cing, but Konami and well, I think we all know how Konami tends to operate...
If I ever get a Vita, I'll probably pick this up because I loved the gameplay of the original, but it's a damn shame they gutted the charm of the original and replaced it with the hollow husk of its current aesthetic.

Touch screen is going to dramatically improve this game. Pointer on the Wii was not at all intuitive, it was slow and clumsy. This game looks way better than the first. And I like the new art style.
The original is so damn good. Finally bought Pikmin 2 the other week, but every time I look at the case, I just want to play Little King's Story.
I'm really disappointed in this remake/sequel/whatever, it all screams cash-in...
It has a really generic anime art style that looks like it's just pandering to weeaboos, and all the charm's been sucked out of it. Not to mention the addition of day 1 paid DLC, are you going to have to pay real money to get more classes, armor or something?

Already filled my "BUT VITA HAS NO GAMES" fake troll quota for the day, so here's my serious comment:
I see his point. But I feel like it's worth mentioning that the Vita *technically* isn't a high definition device. Usually "HD" is reserved for resolutions with at least 720 vertical pixels. The Vita is 960x544. Still higher res than the Wii (which can only do 854x480 max), but not actually "high definition" by modern display standards.
But yea. The Wii's online is shit. We all know this. Hopefully the Wii U actually improves on it beyond the potentially false promises of Nintendo executives and comes up to par with with Microsoft essentially started 10 years ago so third party developers will stop leaving their platform (or just half assing their ports).

I didn't even have to read the article and I know the answer: Because they want to sell more than 1,000 copies.
But the problem with his assessment is that there's a lot of people who won't touch the Vita with a 10-foot pole, much like they didn't touch the PSP. It's far easier to tame run-off sales of a demographic that you may not necessarily be primarily courting (simply because there's so many of them) than bench on a hard core of people who are just gonna load up a PSP firmware hack and take your software by force.
Or maybe I just hate handhelds and think that this sort of game will not do any good on handhelds.

"I loved Little King's Story on the Wii, if only for the fact that it abandoned useless waggle in favor of a streamlined, simple control system."
Uh, I'm pretty sure the game would have been better with IR controls, as demonstrated by the Pikmin ports on Wii.

^ No way, why would someone want useless pointer controls in a strategy game? Nintendo was just being stupid bringing Pikmin to the Wii, because the Wii itself is stupid.
