XSEED on Little King’s Story, localization for Wii games, more

This was an email which was sent to XSEED, and Ken who has always responded to emails such as these replied:
1. Is Little King’s Story indeed releasing on January 6th in Canada?! My local Best Buy had the game on that date on their release schedule board in front of the store! Strange! O_o I was under the impression it was coming out on Feb 17th.
No, Little King’s Story is not releasing on January 6th. We were shooting for a February release date, but good chance that it will be delayed past that right now.
2. How goes the localizations on your Wii games and such? Run into any problems? Hope everything is going smoothly!
Localization is going well on most everything we’re working on, Retro Game Challenge is done and will ship in February, Avalon Code and Rune Factory: Frontier are both wrapping up now so shouldn’t be too long after Retro Game when they come out.
3. Is it possible at this stage to say what the framerates of each of your’s and MMV’s Wii games? Are all games going to have silky smooth framerates? Is XSEED able to smoothen any framerate problems if there are any?
Of what we’ve seen, all the MMV titles are moving at a smooth framerate so no concerns at this point.
