Tiny King’s Story is a new game from the creative minds behind Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy VII, and Harvest Moon. A superstar collaboration of this nature would be the stuff of non-stop discussion if we were talking about a new motion picture or CD, but with videogames, creative teams don’t seem to matter as much famous mascots and recognizable namesakes. If only Little King’s Story were called Gears of Warcraft: Wii Edition, maybe it would be getting more attention.
OK, enough bellyaching. Hit the jump if you want to know how much I love Little King’s Story. I’ll tell you right now, it’s not just a “little” bit.

It was love at first sight for me and Little King’s Story. From the moment that the game started, with its brilliant, hand painted-looking opening cinema, to the last second of its bizarre twist ending, I was absolutely smitten. The game constantly sparks with creativity. There are a few technical failings that keep the game from being perfect, but they’re easy to overlook when everything else is so outstanding.
