New Little Kings Story came out today!

Who picked it up? I'm going to pick mine up tomorrow, the original on Wii was one of the best hidden gems this gen, and a better looking, better story, with more features can only be a good thing!

Seriously guys, if this is anything like the Wii game, you're in for a treat! I'll post my impressions when I pick it up :)

I'm interested in this game, but I think I'm going to wait for it to go on sale.

I picked LKS for Wii up at about 20-25, it's more than worth full-price for the content, but its a much easier purchase lower lol. I just got my Vita a couple of weeks ago so I don't want to wait! :D

If the voice overs are the worst audio in the game, I'll consider it an improvement. The sound effects in the original were GRATINGGGG. Like a dog squeaking his toy in your face for hours on end.

This game reminds me of Pikmen which were pretty fun imo.. is it anything like it?

I'm a little peeved that there isn't a retail version...local retailer put a listing up so I thought I had a copy preordered:x

The combat is similar to it but the unit manager is much deeper. You can assign jobs and they level up to some extent, they also go about living little lives in their free time.

Wait, its digital only??? WTF. I don't have enough memory on my card for a game, I want retail :(

I picked it up last night. I'm roughly 1.5 hours in and so far I'm enjoying it. I like the style of gameplay. It's sort of a mini RTS game.

The voice acting is pretty bad for some of the characters and the combat isn't inovative. I'm essentially throwing my royal guard at monsters for them to attack. I'm not sure if the animation changes during attacks when they level up though. It's easy to grasp the controls so long as you read the instructions throughout the game.

Some of the animation is random haha. I've seen characters shove other characters in the game. I couldn't help but chuckle during those sequences.

I never played the original on the Wii so I have nothing to compare it to. But, I'm sure as I progress through the game it will grow on me.

I really want to get it but I dont have 40 to drop on it right now. If it was 20-25 i would get it. I will get it eventually but when its on sale.

Apparently the game is only like 645mb, so I have more than enough space on my card for it, picked it up!

I've heard the resolution's pretty low, and overall it's a pretty barebones port. Any thoughts on this?Granpire

Just got it last night, only been playing for about an hour. I like it so far, kinda getting a pikmin vibe from it

I'm bummed that it's digital only.Tropicalshower

You can import a physical version, if you really want a physical copy.

Definitely not a port, since it's a continuation of the story from the original. Resolution looks good, but the fonts are tiny for reading.

The thing you should be concerned about is slowdown, which I'm noticing right away shortly after the intro. Happens when too many objects are on screen.

Maybe not exactly a port, but the game itself is essentially ported, even if much of the content has been changed up.Granpire

LOL what? That's like saying AC: Liberation is a port. Expanding existing franchises to another platform doesn't make it a port.

I don't really know to what extent this is true, but I'm under the impression that the game is an "enhanced version" of the original, since this is how most reviews refer to it. I think it's the same engine, gameplay mechanics, and locations, wrapped into a new story. It sounds like the makings of a port to me... It's interesting about Assassin's Creed: Liberation, actually. It's running on a modified version of Assassin's Creed 3's engine, so it might actually qualify as a port (at least the engine might)! :D I guess the definition of a port is a little fuzzy, though. Technically, both games share code with their original games, so they're both ported, to an extent.Granpire

A port should be near carbon copies to the original, transported to another platform (not including enchancements or additonal content), hence the term port. It's not fuzzy at all.

Port: UMvC3, Rayman, Sound Shapes, MGS, Fifa, Madden, MK, NGS+, Lego, Disgaea, The Show, Dungeon Hunter.

Not port: LBP, Lumines, Hot Shots, Wipeout, Tales from Space, UC, Stardust, Resistance, Dynasty Warriors.

Barebone sequels that's barely improved, thus giving the impression that it's a port: MNR, Katamari, Ridge Racer.

It's the way I understood it, transporting implies bridging the compatibility gaps of the systems. I'm just staying away from the technical lingo because I don't know enough of it to explain it like that.

As for MGS 3DS I couldn't tell you, because I have zero knowledge for those games.

If people have used the term in any way then I've described it, then it's probably mis-usage. Story and gameplay has to remain the same, NLKS doesn't qualify for one of those for sure, so that's enough to disqualify it.

it is a port
