Aside from learning that hats are serious business in this title, we've also come across a few (roughly) translated details. Since a king is nothing without his subjects, one of your tasks will be to expand your land to attract more people. There are monsters around to threaten the folks living in your country, though (see that big dragon there?), so you're going to have to vanquish those, too. There are also seven other kingdoms (you can see the eight different lands pictured in the map above), each of which has their own king. As for the towns in your country, each person has their own name, job, and business to attend to, leaving a lot of NPCs for you to interact with.
But if you're looking forward to this game, don't get too excited yet. While King Story should be releasing in Japan this summer, it will probably be a long while before this title gets localized. In the meantime, though, you can check out the screens we've posted after the break.

Looks like Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and My Life as a King all rolled in a neat little package
Although i wouldn't think the localization delay would be that bad, Q4 08 at the latest, prolly

To quote the Southpark kids in the episode where Craig makes a tv show about dogs with hats: 'Cute! Super Cute!!'
So how would this game compare to the other fantasy sim game on the Wii which coincidentally (?) also has the word king in it's title?
