Marvelous Entertainment and XSEED are bringing their fantasy adventure RPG title exclusively to Wii this winter under the name, Little King's Story.

Marvelous Entertainment USA and XSEED announced last Wednesday that they are bringing the highly anticipated Wii title Project O to Wii this winter under a new title, Little King's Story. This is the second title in the two companies' co-publishing partnership.

According Yasuhiro Wada of Marvelous, "Little King's Story has an art style that is very 'story-book' in look" and "has a fairy tale quality that will intrigue and delight gamers." Little King's Story focuses around the story of a young boy name Corobo. Corobo, while strolling in the woods one day, stumbles upon a crown that he comes to realize gives him the power to charm any person, and make them follow his orders. This crown also grants Corobo power over the village, making him the King.

Little King's Story will follow Corobo's travels as he attempts to build his small village into a kingdom. The game will feature gameplay elements from life-simulation, real-time strategy, and adventure games and will allow users to take control of the townspeople to do Corobo's bidding.

Little King's Story is coming exclusively to Wii sometime this winter.

Torrance, Calif., (June 11, 2008) – Marvelous Entertainment USA and XSEED Games jointly announced today that the second videogame title in their co-publishing partnership agreement will be the fantasy adventure RPG title formerly known as “Project O”, Little King's Story. Designed and developed by some of the most respected names in the gaming industry, Little King's Story will ship in the US market Winter of 2008, exclusively for Wii™.

"Little King's Story has an art style that is very 'story-book' in look, and that we feel will be universally loved," stated Yasuhiro Wada, Managing Director of Marvelous Entertainment Inc. "The game has a fairy tale quality that will intrigue and delight gamers the world around."

"Little King's Story is a game we felt very strongly about offering to the United States," remarked Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. "The game truly reflects the high quality gaming experience, uniqueness, and game design creativity that we look for, with the ability to appeal to a wide audience while providing enough depth for seasoned gamers."

Little King's Story begins with the story of young boy named Corobo. Shy, and without many friends, Corobo stumbles upon a mysterious, powerful crown while walking in the forest near his village. He soon discovers that the crown grants him the ability to charm any person, and make them follow his orders. Suddenly, Howzer, the bull-knight, appears, informing Corobo that he is now King of the village, and he must not take this responsibility lightly. Returning to his sleepy village, as a King instead of a shy little boy, Corobo begins a quest to turn his small hamlet into a noble, fantastic kingdom.

The storyline, visual look, and lyrical music of Little King's Story, work in concert to transport players to an interactive, enchanting, fairy tale world. By combining gameplay elements from life-simulation, real-time strategy, and adventure genres, the many aspects of creating a vast kingdom come to life! As King, players will manage and involve their townspeople in the goals of creating this new territory; enlist them to dig for treasure, build new buildings and otherwise better their community. Of course, leadership is a two way street, so as King, players will try to conquer rival nations to create a single unified kingdom, as well as grant the requests of townspeople at whim. With the Wii Remote™ as a royal scepter, this Winter Little King's Story allows players the chance to be the best king in the world!

I'm definitely looking forward to this, and have been for a while. Glad to see that its releasing this calendar year.

Meh, sounds like a MLaK rip- ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO KING!

I have to agree. This just reaks of that game with the longest title ever (FFCC:MLaaK). It does look like it has a lot more than that, but at surface value that is all I can think of.

This is my most anticipated Wii game for the rest of the year.  It seems to resemble Pikmin (and any game that even resembles Pikmin has to be pretty darn good).

Like Vudu I was initially drawn to this game by it's similarities to Pikmin. It's been on my buy list since I first read about it. I can't wait until Winter.

You know my first thought of having a crown that forces people to obey me was not to be king but to each they own.  I mean wouldn't the object just be to go and instruct every person in the world to obey you?
