Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Why do so few care about Little King's Story?

At first i was all for this game but they said that it had no IR and motion controls so that stop me. After playing Pikmin I can't go back.

The lack of IR IS an issue, and let's not pretend otherwise, but it's a very minor one in the grand scheme of things. I really only missed it three times in the whole game. Give this game a shot dude; you'll love it, IR or not.

I don't get why the Conduit was put on a pedestal while this gem was ignored. =/

because given the opportunity...wii owners will act just as much the graphics whores as ps3/360 owners.

 Please. Little King's Story's graphics>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Conduit's, and most other games for that matter. Artstyle over realism, always.



For me the main issue is the lack of wiimote controls.
That was a major disappointment for me since the wiimote would make the controls 10xs better.
However I still plan on getting the game.

As far as other gamers, there are many that are graphic whores or action whores and need those things to merit a purchase. Other people probably get the wrong idea from the style and think its too simple. Finally there is little to no marketing so its basically going on word of mouth and some review sites. Remember MOST wii owners do not check gaming sites and don't really know much about releases.

Is there a demo for this game? If not, that may have something to do with it.

I will probably either rent it or buy it when it's price drops, hopefully there will be an awesome deal like when I got Z&W for $8 at ToysRUs

Wii games never have demos, unfortunately.

Also, don't count on picking it up for that little: Zack and Wiki shipped lots of copies but didn't sell them, hence the low price. Little King's Story has sold few copies, but it hasn't shipped many either, so the price will never drop by that much. I predict it'll disappear completely around the time it hits $30.

I was afraid of that, I haven't opened my wireless up for my Wii in a long time.  TBH, I think lack of a demo hurts titles like this, that needs to be played to show how great it is.

I think you're right. The best is has to offer are trailers on the Nintendo Channel.

 

Yeah.



This thread is really sad.
I knew already that lots of people calling themselves gamers and mocking the casuals weren't really gamers.
Casuals often are more gamers than these people. This thread is a perfect example.
At least I'm not surprised, and as a casual player (I rarely buy anything outside RPG), at least I bought and hugely enjoyed this game.

It's an amazing game, I just can't understand people with doubts here. People ignorant about games I could understand, but people here?
SMH

This game also destroys the belief that childish graphics will sell more on Wii by appealing to children.
Well, the graphics in this game are amazing anyway, and the style was required for the story.



I just picked this up today at GameStop, and jokingly asked the guy working if I was one of five to pick it up. He said that they originally only ordered four, and sold them out and had to re-order. Now granted, I don't live in a huge city or anything, but only 4+?? Wow...

The only part that surprises me about this is the "sold out and reordered" part.

Yes, I'm being serious.

P.S. Glad to see you've started posting!
