What's Little King's Story?  And look at it like this; be grateful it's getting delayed, would you like it if you spent tons of money and anticipation into a game with graphics that looked like a baby's scribble, gameplay that responded a minute after the input, and so many glitches, you can see a big black-blue blotch in the middle of your Vita's screen?  Yeah, after all, they don't wanna delay the game, they want to do anything but it, but I guess the world is just swamping a truckload of problems on their heavily anticipated masterpiece.  That is, if it even is good.

Several sites like Vandal.net or this one have started to announce LKS2 Vita  (localized)for first week of July.

Is there any confirmation from Konami for this release date? Or might be konami will not be the western publisher?

And now it seems it is moved to autum, and no release date for EU. Many of you might not know it, but the first release was one of the very best games the Wii had, action, strategy, RPG and adventure all in one. Konami is failing miserably with this jewel

And it is finally here! as retail and as download.

It has the same art and play mechanics as the old Wii version, but the dialogs are different, more "unpolite" and less "classic/diplomatic", they are using also a pretty small font that makes the text hard to read. Aside of these points the game is fantastic, more unit types, larger areas, more building types than the old version. The controls are way better and handy now, using all the buttons, both analogs and the touch screen. Oh, and these incredible "hand-made" animations in cutscenes of the old version are now missing and replaced by static drawings of some character saying something.

It is a mix of both, I've just started the game so I cannot give many details about the story. Many things of the old game are still there, even missions and areas surrounding your base. There are new characters as well as unit and building types, now you can put your people to work on the construction of items, you may also collaborate with other online players in this activity to create items faster.

I am a big fan of the original Little King's Story but there is no way that I am paying $40 for a digital download especially considering that it isn't a true sequel but more of a remake. I would have picked it up if it was $30 but at that price I will just wait for a price drop. I prefer the art style of the original game anyway.

@Sanquine: I have no problem paying full price for a game if I feel that it is worth it. Had this been a true sequel and not just a remake of a game that I already own then I would have bought it in an instant. I am also not a fan of paying full retail price for digital games. Instead I am putting my money toward some other Vita games such as Silent Hill: Book of Memories, Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward and Ragnarok Odyssey. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying this game though.

So for those weren't put off by the reviews, what do you think of this game so far?

In EU you have retail copies, checked Game and Fnac and they have it available. In US as far as I know it is available only as digital download.

I picked up Little King's Story for the Wii long after release, and I really liked it. It just wasn't quite at that level where I wanted to preorder the sequel and pay full price. Too bad it wasn't released at retail because the price would have dropped a good deal by now. I'll just have to patiently wait until there is a digital sale or price drop.
