So it's finally out! Too bad I don't have a Wii.
FIRST! lol
Good luck for the gamers who do have a Wii.

[Freddy]

The good news is that's it's one of the least priced games right now. $5 is a good deal. You'll get a lot of buyers.

[Shadowcasterx4ffc]

Sweet. I'll see if I can get any of my friends to get it.

So what's your next project? Or are you going back to any of the old ones?

[Woolfenstien]

We got a mention on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/12/wiiware-lands-stateside-start-defending-those-castles/) which is a huge bit of exposure.

[Meek]

Sweet. Now if only I had 400 more points so I could get it.

[.::FaLcO::.]

Woo! Awesome game, didnt really get to try it out that much yet though.

[Ka-Jigga]

God, I've played this for an hour.

Great job, Xgen Studios! Hopefully we'll get even more exposure.

[XGEN-CRaZeD]

I have to find my card.

I am buying this RIGHT NOW. >_>

[brianbrian25]

Upgrade your kingdom with fortified walls, the archery range, mage tower, stone-mason.s workshop, and demolition laboratory.
Typo. (you added a period after mason)

Or is it just me?

[Woolfenstien]

There's also a mention on Wired (http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/05/wiiware-impress.html), and wired is ####ing huge.

[brianbrian25]

I have a subscription for WIRED.

So it's going to be cheap, 5 bucks.
Not bad.

[game-bot]

"Heroic" difficulty mode for players of royal descent.

That sounds interesting.

To anyone with the game : Are there multiple save slots?

[Freddy]

Three save slots.
Dieing to try out multiplayer. Haven't had a chance yet. Angry.

[game-bot]

Oh, I forgot, are there any WiiConnect24 features?

[Freddy]

Actually, no. Or not that've noticed anyway. If there is, I haven't found it yet.

[game-bot]

Guess wikipedia was wrong. That was expected, of course.

[XGEN-CRaZeD]

I love how when you press on the cap-kamikaze you get to hear the great, man created "Booooosh!"

I watched the credits and saw Skye in the voice foley. What parts did you do?

[XGEN-CRaZeD]

This is the revolution of Xgen.

Sigh, I have to stop looking at these threads, they make me want to play something I don't have.

[mast3r.pwn3r.cros5]

does this mean your going back to ballistick and if it does im so happy plz do so

[Freddy]

Most likely, yeah.
I mean I'm sure they're also throwing ideas around for their next project, but I don't think they have anything immediate other than Ballistick.

[Dan]

A little birdie told me that the beta was pushed back due to this little project. I think it was the right call, since this is way more important.

[Alphaniner]

I'm dowmloading it right now.

I got high hopes!

[game-bot]

Wow, 2nd most popular game on IGN, right behind LostWinds. You guys must be rolling in cash right now! I hope you share with us how many people bought the game at a later date.

[caniverous toilet]

Can only super duper XGen members play in the beta? If so, we should be able to sign up :D

[Alphaniner]

what beta?

the game's already out in the wild.

I'm playing it. and it rocks. stick figures crumble before my iron fist of iron.

[zakob]

Maybe with all this cash flow we could get xcash and shop mod. *raises eyebrows*

[Hex]

You guys played it well with the price.

[Alphaniner]

This game is above and beyond the previous one, which was already pretty frickin' sweet.

Can't wait to have a buddy or two over to put the fear of god in those little stick bastards.

[AwesomeLord G]

Totally pwntastical.

[AssaultRifle]

This will go perfect with my XGen Wii. Now it is official :D

[XGEN-CRaZeD]

This will go perfect with my XGen Wii. Now it is official :D

Oh, I remember when you won that.

Do you still have that screenshot of the guy that sent you an IM "bcuz u didnt d-serve 2 win?"

[.repp1n.]

Good Game.

[game-bot]

When can you guys share the sales info with us?
