I've been wanting to play this game for a long time. I'm happy it's getting the reviews it's getting. I'll definitely be picking it up in June.

I've been interested in it for a while, I'm gonna wait for some more US reviews to come out.

IGN should have one up soon. They've been very positive about it when discussing it briefly in podcasts.

This Eurogamer Review was posted today, they gave it an 8/10. The reviewer says in the conclusion, that it's the best game he has played this year so far, despite the flaws.

Ever since I saw the first trailer over 2 years ago (I think), I have been waiting anxiously for this to come out and be ass good as it looks.  Those initial reviews are enough for me to get that on release.  I don't know if Australia gets the same release date as Europe (both being PAL), but I will check with my friend at EB.

Oh I reckon it will be a few days difference if anything. Your Wii releases lately all seem to hit within the same week.

Wow, it's coming way sooner in europe. But I'm definitely picking it up when it comes to the american continent.

I must get this game, all the signs point to it.

OH SHOOT IT'S FINALLY COMING OUT! THERE ARE EXPLOSIONS OCCURRING IN MY PANTS!

I'm very excited to play it.

"I must get this game, all the signs point to it.

My name is ryan, I own a Wii, and it looks pretty good.

"

Not interested in this game, and my name is Ryan and I own a Wii.

I'll keep my nose in its business. Looking forward to thoughts from across the pond. "Demolish anything that prevents you from uniting the world." I found that funny in the trailer.

My name is Ryan, I own a Wii, not sure if I want to buy it.

I want to but I'm broke. It's been getting great reviews all over. And there's also Excitebots and Punch-Out!! to buy. Damn.

@Claude: The game looks kiddy but supposdelly has a lot of black humour in it, like mourning families of the dead minions that need consoling.

Too many Wii games to play this spring. : /

"Too many Wii games to play this spring. : /"

I got the game earlier today, and am really impressed with it so far. Every Wii owner should check this game out.

IGN AU posted a review:

It came out in Australia today as well LS.  It was $80 and I put it off for the time being.  I really want it though.  It could take over from Animal Crossing for taking up all my Wii time (that and Wii Fit).

Oh I think it may well take up a lot of your spare time.

It's also up for grabs on Club Nintendo!

Not really into the Wii. Just don't have the money to buy games on both my systems.

The black guy sold me, the trailer unsold me.

Lol, the more the merrier. Game deserves the attention...

I think I would like this game... oh the time and money, but there be dreams in this story.

This is a game i'll most certainly buy, but not right away.

I already have it, but I have yet to play it  for more than 10 mins. Maybe I will get some gameplay in this weekend, if I don't end up buying Tiger 10 an GST on Wii.

While we are on the subject of RTS, may I direct your view to Dawn of Discovery?

Marvelous are looking for a real king to help them promote the game in Japan in September:

Andriasang:

Japan's version of Little King's Story is arriving a bit late, but it's not without some wild promotions. Publisher Marvelous Entertainment announced one of those promotions today.

Via recruiting site From A Navi, the company will be seeking out a person to play the role of King in upcoming promotions for the game. The selected individual will need to appear at game-related events and even sign autographs at retail signing events!

Marvelous is asking for four days of work in the Tokyo area spanning September 3 through September 6. You'll be paid a royal sum of ¥50,000 a day. This is so high that I'm suspicious the press release from Marvelous may have an error.

The only requirements are that you be 18 years or older and that you be willing to wear a crown, a gown, and a fake beard.

Little King's Story, under the name Ousama Monogatari, hits retail on September 3.

I'm 18 years or older.

" I'm 18 years or older.

I am willing to wear a crown.

I am willing to wear a gown (or any other dress).

I am willing to wear a fake beard (hell, I'll grow my own if I have to).

I want that job  :-)

This shit just got a little too real. lol.

Also on topic. Rented Little King Story. Pretty cool game, but I don't think I'd buy it.

Haha, you would make a great king Oldschool, but I do think they're looking for someone who resembles a King on full energy, not one down to his last dot ;0)

Yup. LKS starts pretty slowly.

It's really not a good rental game, you need to put some serious investment of time into the game before you reap any sufficient rewards...  I 'm sure everyone will agree with me who has the game also.Maybe it's another one to consider sometime down the line, when it drops in price. "
