Well here is something awesome from XSEED, in the form of three legacy games: Wii's Little King's Story, Vita's Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus, and the classic Nihon Falcom title Xanadu Next. Today, XSEED Games announced that these games will be heading to Windows PC. Little King's Story and Shinovi Versus will both be receive shiny HD upgrades, and all three games will be seeing a Western release in 2016.

According to Executive Vice President Ken Berry of Marvelous USA:
 

"Our commitment has always been to bring fans the games that they want to play, and we definitely want to show PC gamers as much love as we possibly can. We these announcements, I think we've made strides in both of these endeavors. We jumped at the chance to publish two of our formerly console-exclusive titles on PC, as well as the highly-anticipated Xanadu Next, which we're confident that Nihon Falcom fans and newcomers alike will adore."


Here's the low-down of each game if you're interested:

Little King's Story

Originally for the Wii, Little King's Story features a young boy named Corobo, who finds a crown that is capable of charming any person and manipulating them to follow any order. With this power, Corobo takes on the mantle as the new king of his village and begins his journey to transform his village into the most splendid of kingdoms.

This game is a bit of an RTS combined with life simulation. Adventure elements are also thrown in for good measure. All Every NPCs in the village has his or her own personality, and players can command all of these villagers to do a variety of tasks that range from digging for treasure to breaking down obstacles to open up new areas and unite all kingdoms.

Little King's Story is heading to PC early 2016.

Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus

Once released on the Vita, Shinovi Versus brings the Senran Kagura girls back but in HD form. Shinovi Versus takes place after Senran Kagura Burst and takes players back to the rivalry between Hanzo National Academy and Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy, though Hebijo's students have reformed underground and and as a mercenary gang called Homura's Crimson Squad. What's also added to the rivalry are students from the super-strict Gessen Girls' Academy and the new students of Hebijo.

Shinovi Versus brings back mid-air comboing, Secret Ninja Techniques, and clothes-ripping. There are plenty of skills, 20 playable characters, and four unique narratives to keep one entertained for quite awhile. This title will release on PC in Summer of 2016.

Xanadu Next

And finally there is Xanadu Next, which is an action RPG from Nihon Falcom, the masterminds behind Ys and The Legend of Heroes. Xanadu Next is actually part of the Dragon Slayer series and a spiritual sequel to Faxanadu. Players take on the role of a seriously-injured knight who is granted a second chance thanks to ancient magic, but in exchange he needs to find the "Dragon Slayer" blade to guarantee survival.

The game itself is set in Harlech Island, which is clearly inspired by Europe. Players are granted the opportunity to explore many different and interconnected environments. There are enemies to be fought in real-time, utilizing abilities that have been imbued into each weapon. To add further fun, there are ability-enhancing items that open up new areas begging for exploration, "Guardians" that grant buffs and other passive effects, and stat customization. Players can even level-down in order to redistribute points. With much to do, it should keep players' eyeballs glued to the screen for many an hour.

Xanadu Next will be available for Windows PC in Spring 2016.
