[Wii] Kororinpa, the game with the greatest box art ever

Also the game with the balls rolling around mazes! That's pretty much it! Roll happy themed balls around to the exit, collect some stuff along the way, avoid traps, fall off the edges, set your face to frown, try again. Simplistic awesome power. This was a launch title in Japan, I think it sold like four and a half copies. Just edging out sales of Wing Island, Necro-Nesia and Zelda. So it's pretty cool that they're bothering with American and PAL releases! Nintendo themselves will be releasing this in PAL regions late February (except Kangarooland and Kiwiland which get it early March at a budget price to boot). It's been confirmed somewhere on the internet that Hudson will release it in America, but no set date. Shouldn't be too long after the PAL version I'd imagine.

Like Super Monkey Ball, you tilt the actual level rather than move the ball Marble Madness style. But unlike SMB, you can flip the whole bloody level upside down if you want to. You'll probably need to in order to access parts of later levels, I dunno. There's a number of different balls as the exciting box reveals, all handle differently (tee hee), including a football, which will probably be a bitch to move. Also there's remixed music of older Hudson games like Star Soldier in it! HERE ARE SOME JPEG'S.

My only fear is that I'll be complete shit at it. I'm a real spaz at Banana Blitz, I still can't get used to controlling that with the Wii controller. ;__; Some of the many balls in the game!



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dead animals used for such an event are too hardcore for them.

THE BIG RIGS PRIZE!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

YOU RUINED IT AMERICA, YOU RUINED IT

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Bah, so what that Excite Truck got a massive delay, and that Metal Slug is delayed even further, who cares that the likes of Trauma Center and Super Swing Golf will likely never get a PAL release, we got SUPER FRUIT FALL for Wii. That's PAL exclusive baby, won't find that hot piece of digital .. sun.. (?) on an American Wii, no sir. No full price direct port of a shit Flash game for you guys, aw haw haw haw haw MISSIN' OUT!

But yeah holy shit, Kororinpa. So mine next week. I will rub it on my crotch. In the store.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oh God this game is so cute and totally relaxing. The controls are really smooth, the board tilting isn't as jerky as it is in Banana Blitz. I'm up to the third world so far, the city (during the day) and the levels are getting pretty tricky now. You really have to take a lot of risks, trying to jump over stuff and such. There's a massive potential for crazy shortcuts, what with being able to flip the board upside down, WOOOOSH. There are times when you'll need to hit a wall, then tilt the board so that it becomes the floor, fun stuff. Sometimes it breaks the wrist just a tad though.

You basically just collect all the red crystals in the level as fast as you can, there's no time limit really, but naturally the faster you go the more stuff you'll unlock (music, new balls, new secret levels). Each level also has a green crystal usually hidden in some impossible location, making you do mental things to try and reach it. Apparently when you collect ALL OF THEM in the game you unlock something rad.

My favorite ball is the fat ktty cat one, it makes awesome fat kitty cat noises whenever you hit a wall. =D So far I have a cat, pig, dog, crushed up car, robot and rugby ball (wow they actually called it a rugby ball, +1 for localization). The music is really good. The stuff that plays during the first world is amazing.

Enjoy'd'd! Doesn't seem like it's going to last long (I think there's 60 levels, plus the unlockable 10 or so), but hey. The only downer so far is the camera, some areas get blocked and you're wondering where the hell you are for a few seconds.

Most amazing jew boots
