New Little King’s Story Review: Romancing the Throne | Tech-Gaming

Elevated by gameplay which straddles the gap between hospitable simplicity and engaging strategy, the game’s cadence is idyllic for commute-time gamers. Save for a few imperfections and Konami’s premium pricing ($39.99 USD), New Little King is an agreeable addition to the platform.

I tried to find the Wii version a few weeks ago. Most places don't have it new for less than $30.

CrescentFang4212d ago

I bought mine at Costco for like $10 during the christmas season last year. Unfortunately the same Costso doesn't sell video game related products anymore... (not sure if all Costco stores do this now...)

sharpsword4212d ago

If he's little, his crown must be tiny. It doesn't even fit around his head. Is there a Littler King somewhere?

RaptorMan4212d ago

$39.99 for a DLC game is too much. I thought downloadable titles were getting at least a 10% discount.

Qrphe4212d ago

Same, I really want this game but I don't want it that bad. I'll just wait for at least a $10 drop.

rezzah4212d ago

10% in comparison to their physical copy.

If there is no physical copy, then there is nothing to reduce 10% from.

madmad4212d ago

I thought it was from the MSRP. Guess I was mistaken.

Godchild10204212d ago

So a 4 dollar difference is stopping you from buying this game? The amount of gameplay you get from this downloadable title is worth the 40 dollar price tag.

I was a little wary about the type of game it was and thought it was a little too much, but the good things I heard of the Wii version I still took the leap and bought it. Well, that and the 20 dollar rebate for spending 100 dollars this month.

mediastudies4212d ago

Not to be a jerk, but you ask if a 10% incentive will push him to buy a game and then you mention Sony's 20% rebate was incentive to buy more. I realize that's 10% more, but the motivation is the same, no?

Godchild10204212d ago

@ mediastudies, I planned on spending 100 dollars this month before I knew the price of the game. I asked a question and wanted to know. If Raptorman said yes, I would have asked if he buys majority of his games by download because of the savings. If not, then the 4 dollars wouldn't have made a difference to him and he probably wouldn't have bought the game anyway. IMO.

Also, there is a big difference between the savings he would have received, to the money I would be getting back for spending money. As mentioned before I planned on spending 100 dollars anyway and to get back 20 is better than saving 4 because that 20 dollars I can use on something next month.

My incentive is greater than his, if I was going to do it anyway.

ChronoJoe4212d ago

Sony only dictate the prices of their own downloadable titles. Only Sony's published titles will be dropped by 10%. Other publishers may choose to adopt a similar policy, but many won't.

Just figured I'd explain. Going to be annoying if people are complaining every time a digital game is released at equal or higher to physical retail price, because I imagine it'll be happening a lot.

mediastudies4212d ago

Yeah, $40 is too much. $30 tops.

GuruStarr784212d ago

Yeah, it's sad because I was pumped and all set to buy this on Tuesday, until I saw the price!

CrescentFang4212d ago

$40 dollars if it was a physical copy... I think publishers need to realize even though localizing some games digitally is cheaper, having it the same price as a physical retail store will have fewer sales. Especially for a niche game like this.

PlayStation Vita: The Essential Exclusives

Nathan Misa of MMGN: "The PS Vita has gotten a lot of flak lately for not having consistent and compelling software releases, especially exclusives, but with Gamescom 2013 revealing a slew of new games, and blockbusters Killzone: Mercenary and Tearaway on the horizon, it’s nothing but a great time to be a Vita owner.

However, that’s not to say there aren’t already several must-have exclusive games to play right now! MMGN takes a look at the best, most essential exclusive Vita games you shameful pessimists should already have played."

That's actually a really good list. Can't say I disagree with any of them as they all deserve to be there for different reasons.

GamingAngelGabriel3895d ago

Yeah....you don't need to play Unit 13.

legionsoup3895d ago

That's your opinion. I found it to be awesome. I was addicted to it for a solid month or so.

GamingAngelGabriel3895d ago

It's ok in small doses, but I don't think it's as good as these other choices.

TheFirstClassic3895d ago

Very underrated game. Good shooting mechanics and good level design. Just no competitive mp or story.

prodg523895d ago

Other Vita games announced, but not mentioned:

The Walking Dead (with Vita controls)
Malicious Rebirth
Ragnarock Ace

admiralvic3895d ago

But none of those games are exclusives. Well Malicious sort of is, but is still largely the same game.

bangoskank3895d ago

Soul Sacrifice bored me to tears. Ended up trading it in.

dcj05243894d ago

We all make mistakes. Its ok.

ninjahunter3895d ago

Not gonna lie, if you own a vita and dont own P4G, go get it, Ive never smiled, fist pumped and yelled F** Yea so much in my life. Idk, theres something about that masterpiece that just makes you feel good.

But the entire list is pretty good, I didnt like uncharted though. I havent played any uncharted games before so i dont have a gauge, but im not a fan of this whole follow the straight line while listening to people talk thing.

legionsoup3895d ago

That last sentence just described Personal 4. ;)

Not that I didn't love it as just, but just sayen!

Ten brilliant Vita games no one told you about

Digitally Downloaded writes: "This week we're going to have a look at that console that everyone claims lacks games. That's right, the PlayStation Vita. The sad reality for those naysayers is that it doesn't lack games at all. In fact, the Vita has some truly entertaining games that were release to little or no fanfare thanks to the console's utter lack of visibility in the market.

So, if you haven't got a Vita yet, consider the ten games we've listed below. You might not even realise these are available on the console, but if you pick one up and grab these games to go with it, you'll quickly realise just how good the Vita can really be."

Oh hell no I know ragnarok odyssey is not in this list lol
To each their own but I seriously hated that game

Nerdmaster3983d ago

Yeah, I was really disappointed with Ragnarok Odyssey.

sherimae24133983d ago

i need to get that atelier totori plus, ASAP! because starting next month to october ill be buying a lot of new release vita games, that i might forget this
i wish there is a retail for this game :(

Ult iMate3983d ago

I really liked Totori. It's so cute and funny. And has great replayability.

Cam9773983d ago

Get this:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

It's a new indie game that is available on PS Mobile. Sorry, this is all I could find of the game on Youtube.

Furthermore, I'd advise you check out "LONE SURVIVOR" when it's out which is yet another survival horror Indie game.
I can't wait to see what's in store for the Vita at E3 2013!

Smokingunz3983d ago

I don't agree with this list! This author has bad taste. The only good game on this list is Silent Hill Book Of Memories! Now that is an awesome game.a game worth buying indeed.
