Yes this is a great first half for the Wii.

IGN just posted a new preview of the game.
Bare minimum the game is expected to take 20 hours. If you try to do everything the game offers then it could go as high as 80 they say.
Looks like the wait is worth it as the game just keeps getting better and better.

A 5 minute and a half preview: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/46546.html
Damn nice, and it so similar to Pikmin in some parts that it makes me giddy.

Quote from: GT Interview

Really we found that it would have been quite unnecessary to implement the motion sensor from the WiiMote

I like their philosophy. If it's unnecessary then don't add waggle needlessly.
I'm very excited for this game.

So this game is out....in Australia. It's A$59 which is pretty nice. I'm not sure yet whether I'll make a purchase but the reviews have been very positive so far. The only negatives seem to be the lack of IR control, the save system (lack of autosave) and the potential for monotony (if you're not the obsessive type!). Certainly has me tempted!

It's being reported that Little King's Story does not support 60hz for its PAL release. The good news is that apparently it is not bordered like Madworld though, so it will only fully affect those who are used to running their Wii games in 480p.

Greg do you not have a 480p capable TV?

Yes I play everything in 480p where it's supported, which is just about everything these days.

I almost bought this the other day, but I had just received a $350 red light camera fine so I figure I'd hold off for a bit.

SirSniffy · « **Reply #90 on:** April 24, 2009, 10:17:53 AM »

Glad the game got such good reviews. This is a big one for me too...can't wait for this and Conduit!

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #91 on:** May 11, 2009, 05:47:04 PM »

Tons of gameplay videos.

I bought this 2 days ago. I am having so much fun with it, I've barely been able to put it down. The game looks huge and on medium / normal it has provided a fair challenge at times (damn poisonous frogs!). LKS is clearly Pikmin inspired, whilst still being its own game. The battles are fun and involve detecting patterns, watching for visual cues to avoid impending attacks. My minions have quite a bit of personality, they are always making noises and I really like the animations. The dialogue with the townsfolk isn't anything special, in fact it is quite repetitive, but the writing in the letters that the King receives in the suggestion box are often quite witty. Howser, the advisor, is hilarious and I'm finding myself questioning his morals quite frequently!

The lack of a Pikmin style usage of the c-stick is annoying especially when I'm trying to get up the ramps that I have constructed. Some little pin always seems to get stuck which involves going back down and retrieving the little rascal. Reading the manual, it does seem as though there will be a formation that I will eventually earn that will allow single file travel.

There are no IR or waggle controls at all, so far. IR would have been fantastic for aiming my throws when attacking enemies, digging up treasures etc.

Hopefully the US version gets 480p because it is quite noticeable but again I'm having too much fun with it to care much! World domi...I mean...uh, kingdom expansion... has never been this much fun!

edit: Dasmos: LKS is $50 at gametraders now.
