Simulation RPG Unites Real-Time Strategy and Adventure into an Enchanting Storyline
Torrance, Calif., (July 21, 2009) – XSEED Games and Marvelous Entertainment USA announced today that Little King’s Story for Wii has shipped to retailers across North America. Little King’s Story is a highly-acclaimed, epic adventure title that unites life-simulation, real-time strategy, and adventure elements along with a captivating storyline to offer a unique gaming experience.
After 35 years of life without a ruler, the one true king has finally arrived. Once a shy, timid young boy, the time has come for King Corobo to take his throne and restore prosperity and wealth in the destitute land of Alpoko. Using his dominant powers of persuasion and his royal scepter, King Corobo can easily assign the lazy citizens of his run-down kingdom to a variety of tasks and job classes. From Animal Hunters to Hardworking Farmers, bring your kingdom to life by putting these “Carefree Adults” to work digging holes, treasure hunting, fighting UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animals) and constructing bridges in order to access new lands.
Little King’s Story was recently recognized as the “Best Wii Strategy Game of E3 2009” by IGN Nintendo. Other critics agree that Little King’s Story is an experience that shouldn’t be missed:
“…Little King’s Story is a deep, addictive, and thoroughly enjoyable effort that every serious gamer should experience.”

“GAME OF THE MONTH”
– GamePro Magazine, September 2009 Issue – 4.5 out of 5 Review Score
The adventure does not stop in Alpoko however; what is to stop the one true king from imposing his ideas onto the surrounding areas as well? At his loyal citizens’ expense, King Corobo will gain glory and strength by conquering neighboring kingdoms and enlightening them to the way of Alpoko. In the following video, watch as the tiny ruler and his subjects approach the Kingdom of the Jolly, a land ruled by the ultimate party animal, King Duvroc, and wage war against his intoxicated ways.
The Kingdom of the Jolly is known for much more than the sweet smelling scent of cherry blossoms. King Duvroc is a ruler equipped with a giant personality and a belly of epic proportions to match. If there is one thing that this king knows how to do well, he definitely knows how to get the party started. Unfortunately, the drunkard gets more than he bargained for during his final celebration. The one true king has gathered his citizens and is ready to embark on world domination. As the celebrations are winding down, Duvroc learns that, after a night of hard partying, King Corobo and his army might not be the worst thing that can happen!
Little King’s Story is rated “T” for Teen and is available for Wii for the suggested retail price of $49.99. For more information on Little King’s Story, please visit the product website at http://www.littlekingsstory.com/.
