I just took down the 7th King in Little King's Story...!
...and the game STILL isn't done!
I'm over 40 hours now, have 18 out of 20 jobs, 7 Wives, only 45/100 Side-Quests completed... Just when you think you're nearing the end, even MORE game opens up! AMAZING!
Here's a tip for taking down TV Dinnah:
Study your Geography!
I would say early last year.
Finished it, that last dungeon is one of the hardest final dungeons I have ever played. Maybe hardest isnt the word, annoying might fit it better. Really great game though, Sega should bring this franchise back.
They really should release the Japan-only sequel, Lady Stalker, on VC someday, but they probably won't.
Lady Stalker?
Another must-buy for Steel.

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
It just means more typing for us poor updaters.
They need to prioritise what they show. Contract some uber fan pre-E3, silence him via NDA and ask him what he wants the conference to be like.
I've been playing RE4, City folk and Little Kings Story all weekend.
The hell? I thought there were only like 6 jobs. 20?
So its confirmed this game is epic. I thought it would be long.
A few tidbits from the most recent Nintendo Power...
- FFCC: The Crystal Bearers will feature snowboarding, dancing and farming activities. These will be motion-controlled
LOL!
Did some updates.
No More Heroes 2
44 new pics GO!
I never got that far. Think the lizard boss was the last I played of it. I wanted to see the man made levels
You can't be too far away. That game is really short. 7 hours or so.
Already sold.
Wow you must not have cared much for the game, huh?
I liked it, buts its not a game I would keep.
US, August 10, 2009 - There's one word to describe the latest downloadable game offerings from Nintendo: phenomenal. For starters, Wii owners can dive into a space adventure for the ages as the Super NES classic Super Star Wars makes its Virtual Console debut. WiiWare devotees have two extraordinary new titles to choose from, including the high-flying NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits and the super-charged Rock N' Roll Climber. And don't miss this week's Nintendo DSiWare Brain Age title, which will help keep your mind buzzing wherever you go.
WiiWare
NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits
Publisher: Over The Top Games
Players: 1-2
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) -- Mild Fantasy Violence
Price: 1,000 Wii Points
Description: Experience the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl who must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend, Icarus. Fly over the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras. You will need the help of Zeus and other benevolent gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds as you wish. By making your own wrist movements and pointing to the game screen, you will be able to achieve these and many other feats. Fly, aim and shoot using your Wii Remote controller. Play with a friend and maximize your abilities: While one controls Nyx, the other will control the powers from the gods.
Rock N' Roll Climber
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 800 Wii Points
Description: Prepare to "rock out" like never before in Rock N' Roll Climber. Climb rocks using the innovative control scheme, which has you controlling your character's movement using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers. If you want an even more immersive experience, optional support for the Wii Balance Board is also available. Make your way up an array of courses, ranging from the Pop level's indoor rock wall to the Heavy Metal level's waterfalls (watch out for those moss-covered rocks -- they're slick). In addition to the sense of accomplishment you'll feel upon reaching the top, you might just be rewarded with your own guitar.
Virtual Console
Super Star Wars
Original platform: Super NES
Publisher: LucasArts
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) -- Fantasy Violence
Price: 800 Wii Points
Description: Risk your life as a Jedi Knight. Join Luke, Han and Chewbacca in their fierce war against the Evil Empire. Battle treacherous aliens. Pilot two vehicles in high-speed, first-person 3-D sequences. Rip through the desert in Luke's landspeeder. Clash with aliens in the Mos Eisley Cantina. Blast menacing boss monsters and Imperial stormtroopers. Attack TIE fighters in the trenches of the Death Star. Fight your way through the wastelands of Tatooine to the hostile streets of Mos Eisley and beyond. Grab your blaster, strap on your lightsaber and take on the fight for galactic freedom.
Nintendo DSiWare
Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) -- Mild Language
Price: 800 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: This edition of the popular Brain Age series offers players a mix of new and familiar exercises, all with an artistic focus. Test your spelling in Word Attack, enjoy literary classics in Reading Aloud and tune your musical skills in Piano Player. A new Themes mode challenges you in drawing, photography and voice acting and lets you share your creativity with friends and family. And if you need a break, the always-enjoyable Virus Buster makes its return. Prepare for another round of training your brain in minutes a day.
Suddenly its abundently clear why Nintendo's Q1 profits were down this year.
Wow that's a good week for downloadables. NyxQuest finally comes out, and Rock N Roll Climber comes out of nowhere as well (shut up I want to play it and ROCK OUT MAN). Star Wars was a pretty decent SNES game too if I recall. Even the the DSi game, Arts and Letters sounds like it could be good.
Despite all that I'm still enjoying all my current games so no buys from me this week.
I wish Nintendo would provide demos for the Wiiwre games like XBL. I want to play those two games, but not plunk down money for them until I know if they are any good or not. Rock and Roll Climber does look pretty cool.
NyxQuest aka Icarian Kindred spirits has got tons of 8/10 reviews. Looks pretty good, I would buy it once I'm done with World of Goo.
