"While New Little King’s Story does have some slowdown problems and translation issues which can be quite appalling at times, it makes up for it with plenty of charm and enjoyable gameplay. The new character aesthetic and touch screen controls make New Little King’s Story superior to its predecessor in almost every way and definitely worth the large amount of time (25+ hours) you will be able to sink into the game without blinking an eye. New Little King’s Story offers an addictive experience that will have you playing your Vita with renewed faith once more." (Gaming, New Little King's Story) 8.5/10
