About Little King’s Story

Little King’s Story is a Wii game based on much the same concept as My Life As King, though both games started development at around the same time. The idea is that the player is the King, and has control over essentially everything and everybody in the kingdom. Rather like Harvest Moon meets Pikmin, it’s a game about management and strategy, and has a very fascinating cartoony style that sucks you in.
Things at the game’s beginning play out in a very similar fashion to Where The Wild Things Are, and I guess a lot of other kid’s stories. Basically, the main character(a young boy) ends up magically transported to a world where he has been appointed King. The question is, is this young boy really in this magical kingdom, or is it all in his head? This is left a little open to interpretation. One clue may be that the cutscenes portraying the kingdom’s legends look like they were drawn with a crayon.
Surprisingly enough, Little King’s Story does not feature motion control or IR support. Still, the controls work perfectly. The analog on the nunchuk is used for movement, A is for talking and other actions, and the B trigger is for recruiting men and having them follow you to do your bidding. Press 1 to dismiss followers. The D-pad controls the camera, the C button zooms the camera, and pressing Z shows you your king’s line of sight.
The idea is (again, much like in My Life As A King) to build up your beginning town and spread out your kingdom. At first, you have this little house with a small throne room, and many of the men around you are slackers, but that changes over time. As you hunt for treasure and complete other tasks you earn gold, which can be used to fund the building of new structures, such as town buildings, or bridges, or a myriad of other things that help the people expand and grow. As the wealth of your kingdom builds, the more changes will take place in the economy. You will start to see more beautiful houses and carefully constructed buildings, and peasants will be clothed in much more elegant garb.
Little King’s Story is already out in Japan, and will soon be released in Europe. After that, it will come to North America. At the very least, it will serve as a more full-fledged offering of what My Life As King attempted to do.
Understanding The Four Types of Wii Controllers

It is understandable that newcomers to the Nintendo Wii console may be confused by the variety of controllers available. The reason for this happening was, in part, because the motion-sensing technology the console excels in is not so well suited for some games.
For example, the Wii’s initial “Wii Remote”(or “WiiMote”) may be excellent for first-person shooters and racing games, but does not handle so well with genres such as fighting, where the player is often forced to quickly pull off a series of complex actions in a short amount of time.
So, in total, there are four controller setups: WiiMote, WiiMote & Nunchuk, GameCube Controller, and Classic Controller.
The WiiMote was the original setup. Its a one-hand motion-sensing controller that is often used for puzzle and party games, as well as racing games and some sports. For each of these, the controller is held in a different position.
In racing games, the controller is held sideways with both hands and twisted back and forth to control the racing vehicle onscreen. In sports, the controller is held in various positions which mimic real life. For example, in bowling, the controller movement is very similar to the movement of one’s hand and arm while bowling at the lanes. The tennis game requires holding the controller upright to serve the ball, and flicking the wrist to return the ball.
The Nunchuk is a control stick attachment that also features motion-sensing. An example of its features is in that of the common first-person shooter: you look, aim, and fire using the WiiMote in your right hand, while you steer with the Nunchuk in your left hand, and lift the Nunchuk slightly to reload your weapon. The Nunchuk is also used in boxing, manipulating the left hand punches while the WiiMote controller manipulates the right hand punches.
Some Wii games are compatible with the GameCube controller. Some examples include Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Mario Kart. These are traditional type games that do not lend themselves well to the new Wii controller. The GameCube controller is not wireless as are the WiiMote and Nunchuk.
Yet another option in a Wii controller is the “Classic Controller”. The Classic does not feature motion-sensing, but does have dual control sticks (rather like that of the Playstation) as well as basically all the button configurations that the Gamecube controller features. As with the GameCube controller, the Classic is not wireless.
However, this is going to change very soon because the Nyko company will very soon be releasing their wireless version of the Classic Controller. Reviewers with preview models have generally praised this new edition to the Wii controller family.
The Nintendo’s variety of controllers insure there are many ways to play and enjoy games on the Wii.
