New Little King’s Story coming to Europe! Konami, who is also publishing the Vita sort-of-remake in Japan, announced plans to bring it to Europe in 2012. The story blurb suggests that it might be more of a sequel, or at least have some alternate storyline that makes no mention of Corobo being a normal kid who discovers a magic crown:

“Set in a beautifully-realised game world, New Little King’s Story follows the player as they assume the role of a King tasked with reclaiming his kingdom from an invader known only as ‘The Nightmare.’ King Corobo, a plucky 14-year-old royal, presides over a stricken land. The evil Nightmare is running havoc and the populace lives in fear as it preys on them. Thus, as Corobo, the user must unite their subjects in order to fight back and reclaim the kingdom.”

I’m sure if Konami is bothering to localize this, it’ll publish it in the U.S., too (especially since every publisher is going to try to get every launch window game out that it can). But if it decides to pass on a U.S. release, this Euro version means I’ll get to play it in English! Me and the other select few members of the Little King’s Story fan club.
