Mario Kart Wii?… Not this year :(
Thursday, May 17th, 2007
(No, not real… just a good photoshop)
Anyway, for those of you out there like me that can’t wait for Mario Kart Wii…. we’ll all have to wait. Mario Kart Wii is in production, but isn’t due out until 2008. There are a lot of things that Nintendo could do with this title, but I think Feelno @ NintendoRevolution.ca says it all for us.
(Oh, and FYI – I considered posting this article without including “Not this year” in the title, but I thought that would be too mean and evil.)
Review: Kororinpa Marble Mania
Thursday, May 17th, 2007
Progress: 65.2%
Hours Played: 6
Marble Mania is a very simple, yet addictive game. The object is to tilt and twist the environment to roll your marble to the goal, collecting the necessary crystals before you get there. Through progress in the game, players can unlock different different music, marbles (with varying specs), and levels. Kororinpa is similar to the Microsoft Plus! Labyrinth – but so much better.
The biggest and best feature about this game is the controls. Having played Plus! Labyrinth which is arrow-key controlled, Marble Mania’s use of the Wii remote is fantastic. Not only is it responsive, but it is also very smooth. When the level is tilted, the whole thing moves. Not only that, but it can be rotated in any direction through all axes. This can be very useful when you accidentally roll to far and need to recover. These controls are also very simple and intuitive, where the only button usage is to reset the ball (if you get stuck) and menu access. Otherwise, it is simply a matter of turning and tilting the remote.

Amazon (UK) is expecting it to ship October 30, 2007. No word on the Japanese release yet.
For those of you interested in getting your hands on any media involved with this game, click on the image above to go view a quick trailer of real-time, in-game footage (thanks IGN!).
Also, does anyone else think that name is way too long? Still, I can’t wait to see this one in action. From what I can grasp for the trailer, it seems like it’ll be a worthy buy and not likely to disappoint.
