Marvelous Entertainment USA and XSEED Games Announce Next Title in Co-Publishing Agreement:
Little Kings Story for Wii
Second title in co-publishing partnership between Marvelous Entertainment USA and XSEED Games Brings Charming Wii
title to the US market
Torrance, Calif., (June 11, 2008) -- Marvelous Entertainment USA and XSEED Games jointly announced
today that the second videogame title in their co-publishing partnership agreement will be the fantasy adventure RPG
title formerly known as Project O, Little Kings Story. Designed and developed by some of the most respected names
in the gaming industry, Little Kings Story will ship in the US market Winter of 2008, exclusively for Wii.
Little Kings Story has an art style that is very story-book in look, and that we feel will be universally loved, stated Yasuhiro Wada, Managing Director of Marvelous Entertainment Inc. The game has a fairy tale quality that will intrigue and delight gamers the world around.
Little Kings Story is a game we felt very strongly about offering to the United States, remarked Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. The game truly reflects the high quality gaming experience, uniqueness, and game design creativity that we look for, with the ability to appeal to a wide audience while providing enough depth for seasoned gamers.
Little Kings Story begins with the story of young boy named Corobo. Shy, and without many friends, Corobo stumbles upon a mysterious, powerful crown while walking in the forest near his village. He soon discovers that the crown grants him the ability to charm any person, and make them follow his orders. Suddenly, Howzer, the bull-knight, appears, informing Corobo that he is now King of the village, and he must not take this responsibility lightly. Returning to his sleepy village, as a King instead of a shy little boy, Corobo begins a quest to turn his small hamlet into a noble, fantastic kingdom.
The storyline, visual look, and lyrical music of Little Kings Story, work in concert to transport players to an interactive, enchanting, fairy tale world. By combining gameplay elements from life-simulation, real- time strategy, and adventure genres, the many aspects of creating a vast kingdom come to life! As King, players will manage and involve their townspeople in the goals of creating this new territory; enlist them to dig for treasure, build new buildings and otherwise better their community. Of course, leadership is a two way street, so as King, players will try to conquer rival nations to create a single unified kingdom, as well as grant the requests of townspeople at whim. With the Wii Remote as a royal scepter, this Winter Little Kings Story allows players the chance to be the best king in the world!
