When the second entry of the Kororinpa series arrived at my door, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I had never actually played the original title, and the only point of reference for the gameplay I could come up with from watching videos was Super Monkey Ball. As a fan of that series, Marble Saga: Kororinpa was definitely of interest to me; conversations with NWR forum members also helped raise my expectations. I had heard them rave about the game's excellent controls and solid gameplay, and it turns out they were on to something...Marble Saga: Kororinpa is a ball-rolling puzzle (adventure?) game. At the start of each level, the player's ball is placed in the world, and players must use motion control to tilt the world to make the ball reach the goal. Along the way yellow crystals must be collected in order to activate checkpoints, and eventually the exit. Yellow crystals are just one of several collectibles scattered throughout each level. Depending on the difficulty setting, players will have different collectibles to find that have different effects on the world as a whole...Marble Saga: Kororinpa is quite pleasing, both visually and aurally. While neither is exceptional, the graphics and sound are done well, aren't distracting, and add to the game's unique, quirky, and relaxing ambiance...Marble Saga: Kororinpa is undoubtedly one of my favorite Wii games. Ball-rolling has never been this much fun or this unique. The game's challenge creates for an addictive experience that will draw in players of all types and skill levels. With a large variety of extra collectibles, four-player simultaneous multiplayer, single-player trophy achievements, a level editor, and three difficulty settings, Marble Saga: Kororinpa is a huge offering in a tiny package. - Nick DiMola
