– Yes, Little King’s Story is coming out on July 21st. Official announcement will be going out soon, probably later this week.
– Yes, there is an extra hard “Tyrant” mode in the NA release of Little King’s Story.
– Can’t share exact numbers, but Rune Factory: Frontier has sold OK, though we could always use more sales.
– We will not pursue Kizuna.
– We are aware of all the impressions that people had from playing Fragile, but even if nothing is tuned for the NA release, we feel the overall great experience outweighs any minor gameplay issues.
– You are correct, that list you made is not our entire lineup. There are still two titles that we haven’t announced yet; one for Wii and one for DS. Both of these titles are scheduled to be revealed in July.
