Buy Little King's Story

Sorry to spam on the board, but I was one of the few people to buy Little King's Story and I can say without much doubt that it is the most fun I've had with a game in ages (in fact I can't remember any instance when I had this much fun or played for this long), and the best game available for the Wii, or that's at least my current thought about it.

That said, I'm saddened to see it selling so poorly. It was destined to sell lowly because of how misleading the title and general look is (really, Little King's Story? It honestly sounds like a game that would be rated EC), but this game is the deepest and longest game of the generation, something no one should be missing. The people who worked on LKS aren't getting the credit or recognition they deserve, and we need more games with this sort of depth. The more it sells, the more it will show we want hardcore games. Yes, say what you want about its looks, this is a hardcore game. It's hugely challenging, the world is massive, and the gameplay is completely free world, and entirely built of strategizing and a hybrid of many great genres. Wrapped in the same package or a more hardcore appealing package, we need more games like this. Please buy this game, both for your current enjoyment, and the future of Wii gaming.

I'm definitely in the minority here but I really think IR pointing would have been a hassle and with so many units to select selecting a single one would be extremely difficult and frustrating. I think the controls feel more natural without IR, and wouldn't change it at all, except perhaps making the targeting system snap to targets quicker when there is only one or a few. Other than that minor tweak (which really makes little difference), I'd keep em the way they are. If you're only near the beginning of the game then it's a really premature judgment. Unless you're up to the 5th major boss or so, you can't really appreciate its depth and creativity. Controls seem insignificant when you're in awe of the magnificent bosses and scenery. No spoilers about it, but King TV Dinnah might just be the best boss battle ever.

It's hard as holy crap but yes it's amazing.OreoMilkshake

OK, OK, I'll buy it! Aaahh! Stop pressuring me!!!

:P lol jk

I wanted to buy the game, but I wasn't able to get a ride. I'm not exactly sure when I'll be getting the game, though, 'cause I'm gonna' be getting Metroid Prime Trilogy this month. Hopefully I can Little King's Story next month.

But then I have to pass on Muramasa!:cry:

:P

(I'm only able to get ONE game per month, that's why.)

Should be coming in sometime this week, provided Amazon doesn't screw up my order..again.

GOTY

I'm glad that it finally hits America

good for you people that game is a masterpiece

It'll sell better when it's mulitplat and those total sales between platforms will allow them to make a second

I'm not worried about the franchise

[QUOTE="OreoMilkshake"]It's hard as holy crap but yes it's amazing.DeeDeeDee-er

IMO Blue Dragon is the best boss beside the last one

epic fight

the sequel is already on developers mind.. BTW it'll never be multiplat and if it, it wont sell a lot more (its not an FPS fool)

Because it's only selling poorly on the Wii

It's going to be on other consoles and all of them will sell well as a joint effort

LKS is such a niche game that Best Buy doesn't even carry it. I hope gamespot has it. nchan

[QUOTE="intro94"] how can you not be worried with the dismal sales? Although NA did receive it quite better than EU.Almost ALMOST a warm reception.Unless you dont care much about the game.Xseed stated RFF was doing "OK" in sales so i guess they dont need much copies sold to recoup expenses.osan0

No, the first one is going to be multiplat

They don't have to do much to release it elsewhere

Slow sales on the Wii are only one part of the revenue it'll see. The game will expand to many different platforms and be safe from there

Do you honestly think that a game like Little King's Story will be that well and much better received on the Xbox 360 and PS3 to warrant not only porting or, even more costly, remaking the game for those systems AND still being enough to convince a sequel? That's asking a lot for a game of this kind. Besides, we haven't even seen exactly how well or poorly this game is doing on the Wii. I'm not saying that the game is flying off shelves right now, but couldn't we at least give it a bit more time to see if word-of-mouth and positive impressions are helping this game move a few copies before proclaiming that it's failing and would be better off on the HD systems?

As for my take on the main topic itself, I've stated a few times that I'm not a fan of "buy *insert game here*" threads, but seeing as how this is a game that is acutally out, I can't say I'm too bothered by it at the moment. Still, I think time would be better spent into actual reviews and the like, but what do I know...? :P That, and I've actually played the game myself. Personally, I couldn't get into it the way I had hoped, but I've already told myself that I would pick it up and give it another chance when I had some change to spare and at a time where new releases of big name games were a bit dry. The game's charm at least warrants a rental for anyone who's on the fence about it, I think.

I am about to finish it after over 35 hours of gameplay and all I will say is that it is probably the Wii's GOTY. I know the year isn't over but the only game I see right now that could compete with LKS is New Super Mario Bros.

[QUOTE="DeeDeeDee-er"] Haha you fail at trolling. Little King's Story might be better than any game on either of the other two consoles. Not that it takes much to beat the PS3, but the 360 has some great games. The Wii has the best games, they just aren't produced as frequently as 360 games.DeeDeeDee-er

Calling him a troll while going on to say that LKS might be better than any game on any console, that it doesn't take much to beat the PS3.. yeah, thats either rabid fanboism or trolling.

I would definitely buy it, but no stores in my city have it stock. :x

I just bought it, because it looked great, and it is. :D

It's selling 2k every week in "others" on VGchartz. America doesn't look accurate with only one week showing.

LKS is my GOTY. I love it. Oh, but the Wii haters. They say no good games are out. Then I cry because LKS always gets put out of their mind. ( Alright, I don'y cry, but still :P) Why is it the good Wii games that go unnoticed? I would love to see people who aren't comfotable with the Wii play LKS. That game alone would blow them away.

I think we should mega-hype this game here and have this thread go for 100 pages untill everyone has to buy it. :p

I've completely forgotten about not having fat princess, this is way better. :D

Ok, so i took your advice and bought LKS today. I am glad i did. The game is very charming and witty. It reminds me of the old days with Nintendo, deeply engaging, strange and unique. Dare i say, without insult, but it reminds me of a N64 game in several ways. Just the style i suppose. The pointing controls are a bit cumbersome, but thats only a minor complaint.But just like everyone keeps saying over and over again, get LKS if you are looking for a good game.

I really like the controls. I found pointing with the Wiimote all the time in Battalion Wars 2 really irritating. I was really glad to just have normal controls, lol.

I think this would have been apreaciated much better on the PS3. Everyones just waiting for games like this.

I'll wait for it to get a price drop.

Just picked it up today along with Wii Sports Resort. Haven't had time to play it yet but I will soon. I love Harvest Moon, City Builders, and RTS games so I had to at least try this out.

You'll love it. I think it's impossible to not like this game. It's just so brillant and such a classic, the little kings footprints make this toy sqweaking noise when he runs around. XD

There's nothing we can do about what people find popular or buy, they should have hired market researcher or something or put it on the PS3 or givin him a big sword or something. 150k - 200 isn't too bad really.

We can let everyone know what a great game it is though by word of mouth and make this thread MASSIVE! :D
