New Little King’s Story assistant producer comments on platform change
Little King’s Story made its debut on Wii, but the sequel switched things up by going to the PlayStation Vita. The original was very well received on Nintendo’s console, so what prompted the move?
When asked about the platform change, assistant producer Takanori Murayama said:
“There are three reasons for this. One, the using of the touch panel made the game’s controls much easier. The touch panel enables the users to scout dozens of citizens together which improved the operations. Two, the high resolution graphics enabled to depict many characters at once inside the screen. The movement and the depiction of the many characters in its world is what makes this game fun. Last but not least, the network affinity is high, therefore it is easy to buy avatars and other items on the PS Store. In the PS Store, users can purchase additional items which is another appealing point.”
You know… the Wii U offers everything that Murayama mentioned. The GamePad has a touchscreen, the console can output HD visuals, and DLC can be made possible. Who knows – maybe we’ll see Little King’s Story on Wii U.
