You fail

Well, I would have bought it but I found a copy of Suikoden II in very good condition at a local store.

Well, that put back any other purchase for quite some time.

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.

In addition it is usually the childish that avoid 'childish' things. It's a classic projection reaction: deny the thing that you are or are afraid of being seen as...

As people mature they don't give a monkey's what the world thinks of them anymore and can see the value in things, even when many others cannot.

On that note where is Grampy?

So true... i'm 40 now, i play for more than 30 years, and i don't care about most "real gamers" opinions: i've read so many stupid statements, so many dead wrong critics on gaming-related websites in the last 5 or 6 years that i only trust one thing: my own judgement and my own experience as a veteran gamer...

Back to Little King's Story: why do i care?

Epic adventure, beautiful art style, great value, excellent controls and camera, good game design, and an overall "sense of wonder", which is one of the most important element in my gaming choices...

The problem is that many don't have a good view of what kind of game it is: in a few words, i'd say it's first and foremost an adventure game à la Okami, with a combat system close to the one found in Pikmin, and with additionnal but very light sim and strategy elements... all that with a "kiddy" look (but only on surface), and a very, very japanese oriented art style and sense of humor...

Now, how many people were into Okami, on PS2 or on Wii? Is Pikmin one of the most successful Nintendo's IP? And how do most gamers react when a game has a kind of oniric, fairytale look? Do most gamers prefer japanese games over western games?

When you answer these questions, you know Little King's Story is bound to be niche: all we can do is spread the word, and transform it into a cult hit... it's a game that deserves way more attention than 90% of the games out there each year, so every effort to support it is welcomed...

But many gamers out there are so full of bias (to stay polite) that i know only a very small minority will take care... and after all, it's the same thing for many records, many movies, and many books out there: popular success isn't always related to the real quality of a piece of art...

I have the game... but like many others on my shelf, I haven't played it yet so I don't talk about it.

(it hit my buy range in june so I bought it... it's one of the games I wanted the most this years).

68K last month is not so dramatic for Europen sales.... Shoud get a decent 120k at the end of the year and 300k with Japan + US...

Both are platformers. But ok, I get the point. Games from the same genre can play differently.

I rephrase my statement to "I like Starcraft-type RTS games, not Little King Story-type RTS games."

How can you say there is a better RTS than Starcraft when there isn't even a game from any genre that's better than Starcraft?

Name an RTS game you think is better, and I will gladly give you about a thousand reasons as to why Starcraft is superior.

LKS is just a game a game that contrasts with current trends in Gaming industry its not "bigger, better and more badass" with uber realistic graphics and teh cell enabled physics.

Games that tend to sell well are big blockbusters with a lot of explosions and budgets, just like in the box office a bellow average movie like Transformers 2 will do well because of effects.

Wii owners might be different then 360/PS3 in terms of their taste but LKS is just too much of a niche game to sell well.
