E3 09: XSeed Booth Impressions

The other day X-seed was kind enough to let me into their little world to show me what they have coming for us Nintendo fans.  They showed me tree games, Little King Story for Wiiware, Ju-on for the Wii, and Arc Rise Fantasia for the Wii. These are my impressions of each of these games.

Little King Story

Little King Story was a game that did not seem interesting to me. It’s a game that looks to be childish and kid friendly, but I was surprised to found out that the game had received a Teen ratting. The developer wanted to make clear that Little King Story has sexual and mature undertones to it.

Little kind story is similar to Pikmin, in the way that you go around collecting people to follow you as the king. Some of the people that are collectable are, Soldiers, Farmers, and Children, just to name the few I saw. Soldiers are simple to explain, they fight and destroy things. Farmers grow and repair things, and children can be grown to be anything a farmer or a soldier. While they are children they are only good for climbing tress. Don’t think that you can throw a soldier at a bridge and hope he will fix it. Heck he is a soldier all he knows how to do is destroy it, so throw a farmer and he will not what to do.

In this group that you collect,  by the end of the game you can have 30 minion (sorry “people”) following you at one time. These group members will start sharing bonds with each other. At times the group can disband and go back to their daily lives. At night two of the towns people could be found holding hands on a date. You can take these two; force them to get married by throwing them into a church. When they come out they will be married and have a kid right when they walk out. Just like real life.
