Little King's Story is a simulation RPG co-developed by Town Factory and Cing for the Nintendo Wii and published by Marvelous Entertainment. Playing as the young King of a Village, the goal is to expand the kingdom and make its population happy.
-Little King's Story Wii Still Selling Well (in Europe)-
Rising Star Games has revealed that despite modest worldwide sales, Little King's Story is doing well in Europe. Talking in a recently published interview, Rising Star's Product Manager Yen Hau went on record to point out that as well as receiving high praise from all media sources, the game "is still selling well to this day, something which doesn't happen often to videogames." This will definitely come as fantastic news for fans of the game that were thrilled to hear a concept for a sequel is already in place and merely awaiting the greenlight, as mentioned in Cubed3's recent interview with Japanese publisher Marvelous Entertainment.
Below are some quotes from Yen Hau's interview, where Harvest Moon DS3 is confirmed for 2010, JU-ON met expectations and Muramasa: The Demon Blade overcame issues with GAME not stocking it in the UK and has "performed well so far":
Well, there's no accounting for taste. This game would've been more successful if it didn't look like it was aimed exclusively at Japanese children under ten.
You'd think mature people can look beyond the appearances of things, It's got quite a lot of dark humour kids won't get.

WAIT!!! when did Little Kings Story come out in the EU?
Er, the game was out in Europe before anywhere else... Last April. 3 months before NA, 5 before Japan.

I agree. Unfortunately, the average consumer doesn't know that, and they don't care.

Funny you say that. I would assume the game's art style and cover are the reason it sold better than other 3rd party output.

Now that I think about it, this makes a lot of sense. Ideally, the Wii should focus less on quasi-high-tech graphics and more on simple, yet appealing art styles. That having been said, I still think the game's name, premise, and cover art downplay its real depth.
