Little King's Story creator Yoshiro Kimura had previously said that he's interested in making a sequel to his strategy title. Now, speaking to Siliconera, Kimura explained that he is in the early stages of working on just such a thing. "We are planning to make a sequel to Little King's Story, like Super Little King's Story," Kimura said, "but we're still in the process idea phase."

At the moment, Marvelous is looking for funding for the sequel, as well as "partners" to help make it. The first game was developed by Cing and Town Factory, along with some high-profile freelancers. While we don't want anyone involved with the first game excluded from this potential sequel, we can understand the appeal of having a single team make a game, if that's Kimura's intent.

 ----------------------

If they need funding, that means they need a publisher.  And they need another dev team "to help make it". But WHO WILL THESE PEOPLE BE???

Maybe the next one will actually utilize the Wii's capabilities and make a good game even better.

I think it's a bit too early to say if it did well. All this confirms is that he wants to make another and HE has started on one. He doesn't actually have funding, or a team, or a publisher or anything. It's just him and whatever small group he has in the idea phase. And looking at the past games this guy has made, he'd probably be happy if this game got a couple hundred thousand in it's life time. I really hope one gets made though, I'm really enjoying this one.

The 68k is a shipped figure, but it will eventually be a depleted shipment. VGC has it at about 50k in Others now.

i eventually hope to pick this game up, looks like some good fun.

man I havent even touched the 1st one yet...

Yes. I dont have the 1st one, but i will get it, soon.

This is surprising. I haven't got it yet but i encourage my American brethren to buy this on mass to encourage would-be investors to invest in the sequel.

What was the lifetime shipment expectations to Others? 150k or something like this, right?

I guess that the game don't have sold well enough...

I think it was 100k in Europe, 100k in America, and 50k in Japan... with 70k already shipped in Europe, plus some good legs due to very positive reviews and feedback, it should do just fine, but not exceptional...

Globally, it still has a chance to beat the 250k expectations if US Wii owners do the right thing, and if the game has good reviews in Japan...
