If you ever find yourself in need of something a little different, then <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/marble-saga-kororinpa"><em>Marble Saga Kororinpa</em></a> has you covered. It's a puzzle game that caught our eye at this year's New York Comic Con, particularly because it utilizes the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/balance-board">Wii Balance Board</a> for some of its levels. <br /><br />There's a lot of variety and challenge within its stages, and players can even create their own if they don't find what they're looking for in the preset levels. Read on after the break for our impressions on the title, including impressions on the Balance Board support and level creator. <br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/08/nycc-09-marble-saga-kororinpa-hands-on-wii/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>NYCC 09: Marble Saga Kororinpa hands-on (Wii)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/08/nycc-09-marble-saga-kororinpa-hands-on-wii/">NYCC 09: Marble Saga Kororinpa hands-on (Wii)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:00:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/30/hudson-dates-kororinpa-sequel-for-north-america/"><em>Marble Saga: Kororinpa</em></a> could end up being a sleeper hit of 2009 -- or at least one of those underappreciated critical successes. The first game was great but a bit lacking in content, and the sequel adds all kinds of junk! There's a four-player mode, leaderboards, a stage editor <em>with online sharing</em>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Balance-Board/">Balance Board</a> compatibility, and, most importantly (well, not really), a super-adorable storyline about an <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/17/anthony-the-ants-marble-saga/">ant</a>, seen here expressing joy at the completion of a stage.<br /><br />The new screens at Wiiz are regrettably smallish, but detailed enough for you to see plenty of stuff to roll around on. There's even a screen of the four-player mode!<br /><br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/29/a-marble-saga-in-pictures/">A Marble Saga in pictures</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 29 Dec 2008 09:00:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/30/hudson-dates-kororinpa-sequel-for-north-america/"><em>Marble Saga: Kororinpa</em></a> wouldn't be much of a <em>saga</em> without characters. The latest screens feature the game's unlikely (in that he's not a marble) protagonist, Anthony the Ant. The whole game is an effort to gather junk for the purpose of building more structures to reach the Golden Sunflower. If this game has to have a story, we appreciate the fact that Hudson has made it about such a cute little character in a beautiful forest. <br /><br />Don't worry; over at <em>Famitsu, </em>there are more screens of actual gameplay, with, like, marbles rolling around and stuff.<br /><br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/17/anthony-the-ants-marble-saga/">Anthony the Ant's Marble Saga</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:50:00 EST.

<br />Hudson just sent us a press release stating that <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/kororinpa-2"><em>Marble Saga: Kororinpa</em></a> will be making its way to North America in the spring of 2009. The sequel to <em>Marble Mania: Kororinpa</em>, the game will feature <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/balance-board">Balance Board</a> support (which <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/21/kororinpa-2-uses-balance-board-boasts-bad-gc-demo/">we already knew</a> about), Wi-Fi compatibility and lots of new levels to explore.
