Wizard of OZ: Beyond the yellow brick road
Has anyone tried this? Its a quirky little turn based rpg by Xseed. I picked it up recently based on recomendation by someone (I forget who, might even have been here) and Gave it a shot.
Gameplay (Not mine)
Its pretty fun. Nice and short, interesting "ratio" system and fun re-imagining of the wizard of OZ story. It does have a bit of repetative mazes, but it adds a cool little make your own waypoint system. It also has a pokemon style "fire beats grass" thing going on. Anyways, I would pick it up if you find it cheap. Its probably one of those ones you see clearance on the walmart shelf because people think its garbage licensed shovelware.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more "OMG HIDDEN GEM" videos because Xseed is a solid Western publisher having done some Ys stuff, wildarms ETC.

This is the type of recommendation I've been waiting for for Little King's Story. Saw a new copy six months ago for $30, regretting not buying it now. Of course, it was flourescent faded, but I'm sure it was still playable .
Of course in Canada they follow the Trans-Canada Highway, the only road!

that sounds really cool actually. I'll add that one to the list

New Little King's Story is a good reimaging on the Vita that got a physical release in Europe. Worth noting if you happen to be a handheld gamer.
I actually hadn't heard anything positive about this particular Wizard of Oz game. Thanks for sharing MrWunderful! This will definately be on my radar now!

Awesome I hope you enjoy it.
I thought it looked interesting! I'll have to check it out! Have you played the Alice in Wonderland game for DS? Was curious about that one as well.
Alice on the DS is a good one. It should be cheap enough that I can say with confidence you should get it.
Wizard of Oz isn't quite as cheap. I think it's come down in price from a year or two ago though. It's on my list, just haven't found it yet.
EDIT: Huh, Amazon.com has sealed copies for $30. That sounds reasonable, especially since they'll ship to Canada.
VenusBananaPeel; i'm going to have to disagree with the Vita version of LKS. I think the changes and additions ruined some of the unique charm/magic/heart that the original Wii version has. IMO that's by far the superior game
While we're on the subject of the Wizard of Oz, am I the only one in this congregation who wonders where the red brick road leads to?
Of course in Canada they follow the Trans-Canada Highway, the only road!
You can say what you want about anything, our lousy dollar, our shitty hockey teams, but I won't sit here and watch you talk trash about our highway.
But seriously I just finished downloading all 300 episodes of the Red Green Show from its YouTube channel. That show rocks (especially the Possum Lodge word game and the b&w Adventures With Bill slapstick)
I guess MrWunderful just made my quest for this game even harder lol
