I'm glad you're digging it. Aside from punks who have already discounted it due to being cute, I have yet to hear anything terribly bad about it. I've been watching the game's progress for some time now and I remain stoked to pick it up. I just find it frustrating that two local Toys R Us stores still can't get it in stock.

And I think that there are plenty of great Wii titles (and going back, GameCube/DS titles) that did not get the word-of-mouth (and therefore sales figures) they deserved. Okami, Elebits, Deadly Creatures, Warioland: Shake It, Killer 7, Eternal Darkness, I-Ninja, Elite Beat Agents, Ninjatown… even some “lesser” Nintendo-owned games like Chibi-Robo. I just think Little King's Story has a tough road ahead. But I do plan to be on it!

The 'Grand Casual Blue Sky All-Ages Family Fans' can find the game quite easily thanks. I found it, and I'm loving it.

Father of 6, 41 years old, and I had heard about this from purusing the web when I was bored at work. I have now told eight friends that all have Wiis about how great the game is.

And isn't that how the popularity of the system itself grew in the first place. Word of mouth and trying it out at a friend's place?

I expect this game to do very well over the long-haul.

It is that good.

Sad to say that I'm sure this one will go unnoticed by gamers of all stripes. Typical. A well-reviewed, charming, unique third party game arrives to another empty room. Nintendo fans will ignore it since it isn't first party; the self-identified hardcore will ignore it for being cutesy.

It also doesn't help that big box stores often have trouble getting games like this on the shelves. Sure, GameStop had Little King's Story on the day it was released, but Toys R Us has still never heard of it. How are Nintendo's Grand Casual Blue Sky All-Ages Family Fans supposed to find games like this if the stores they frequent never stock it, instead gumming up the racks with cookie-cutter minigame collections with extraneous Zs in the title?
