FFV: Give us our Kororinpa

Where is Kororinpa? Sure, we're getting roly-poly blobs of mercury, but this is already out -- in Japan, that is. The Wii needs more marble-rolling action, and that's why this footage from Kororinpa is our Featured Friday Video. Watch it and shed a little tear for the game we don't have.

Looks fun, and perfect for the Wii. We will be getting Mercury Meltdown Revolution soon for the Wii which is in the same vein as this game.

This looks even more like a modern upgrade of Marble Madness than Monkey Ball does. I hope it comes out in the US, since it shouldn't take any time to translate.

I'm a BIG Marble Madness fan, so in my Wii blog I've talked about this game a lot: first Monkey Ball, then the mini game in Zelda, Mercury Meltdown... And yesterday (well, is yesterday for me) I had great news: Kororimpa will be launched in Europe (I'm from Spain) on Feb 23rd... YES! :D

On the contrary, there might be a good chance this will arrive in the US. I saw 'Electric Playground' on G4 a little while ago. This was briefly shown under the name of 'Kiwi Jamboree'.
