Why do so few care about Little King's Story?

The overwhelming majority of gamers who are even aware of Little King Story are turned off completely by the artstyle.

Also, the fact that it uses no IR or motion control just makes its place on the Wii unnecessary. If was going to use none of the systems feature, it might as well have been on the PS2.

I'm usually down to try things, but LKS is too much of a risk.

There is no risk when it comes to LKS. None. It's a fantastic title that, despite having some faults, nonetheless works on almost every level. I've made no secret of how much I've been looking forward to this game since its initial announcement years ago, and I can tell you that it pretty much met those high expectations. It's hard to describe just why this game is so damned addictive and fun, and I'd write pages and pages trying to explain, but suffice it to say that if the lack of Wii-exclusive features is all that's keeping you from having a total blast, you'd be best served by ignoring that and getting this ASAP.

Trust me.

1 mil for Pikmin 2... something like maybe 100K for the overlord series?

 The first Overlord was one of Codemasters' best sellers: it easily topped what they were expecting, hence the three-new-games-at-once strategy they pursued with its second-wave.

For the record I would be interested if this was a XBLA game. But a $50 Wii game... no thank you.

 For the record, you're being a total fool. But hey, your loss, not mine.

We already have Pikmin, rendering this game pointless.

 This...is not Pikmin. The gameplay is similar enough to be familiar, and anyone who loves that series should definitely look into this one, but LKS is its own beast.

Now if only this logic applied to FPS's, I'd be happy. But...

You know, he's right on all accounts. Easily worth $50 when you're talking about 30-60 hours of varied gaming time. I loved this game.

People shouldn't not support this game because it is creative, risky and from a small developer making an effort to bring core type games to Wii. No, people should support it because it is bloody brilliant.
