::sigh:: So in the PS Vita remake for Little King’s Story, you now have the ability to pass a law that forces all of your citizens to wear Japanese-style school swimsuits.

I know it’s meant to be just a silly joke, but way to inject some pervy creepiness into such a charming game (presuming the Wii version didn’t have this), Konami. The original dev, Cing, must be rolling in its grave right now.

New Little King’s Story screens. Ninjas! Football players! Ah, crap, Shishkebaboo pinball again. Here’s one more shot that didn’t fit in the gallery:

I still don’t really know how I feel about this game. Little King’s Story is my jam, and I’m looking forward to having a portable LKS, but I’m still just a bit worried about this new one lacking the Kimura magic that elevated the original. I’m also a bit worried about fighting Shishkebaboo again.

Our Little King is all grown up and has a serious pout face for his upcoming PS Vita game (click for larger image). Here’s what the little guy looked like in Little King’s Story for Wii, which doesn’t really feel like that long ago.

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.

Little King Story Vita’s Corobo, Apricot, and Verde.

I probably wouldn’t think anything of this art if this were an original game, but after being so familiar with the Wii original and its perfect character art, all I see is a moe parody of Little King’s Story. Verde was previously grumpy, but now she looks (and is even identified on the website as) tsundere. Oh, well.

Even though this is looking like a less charming remake of the original, I’ll totally buy it if Konami deigns to publish it here. In fact, this game right here, more than anything, has me seriously considering a Vita purchase. Because I’m a sucker.
