A console can never have too many puzzle games
Just when you thought the world was sick of puzzle games, someone announces another one, with a 90 percent chance of that game being for the Nintendo Wii.
Well these games must be enjoying some semblance of popularity because they just keep coming out with more -- and by "them," I mean Konami's minions over at Hudson Soft. The North American branch, Hudson Entertainment, has announced today that come Spring 2009, Marble Saga: Kororinpa will be available exclusively to the Wii.
A sequel to Kororinpa: Marble Mania, Mable Saga will feature new levels, 4-person multiplayer, customization features, online play, and Wii Balance Board compatibility. As always, the hyper-competitive can upload their scores to leaderboards via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Players will take on the role of Anthony the Ant as he searches for the Golden Sunflower, guiding his marble around Ant World for items that can be used to save his colony.
Sabine Duvall, VP of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment, appeared pleased as ever when he commented on their upcoming puzzle game:
"Gamers will be amazed to see how much entertainment we have packed into Marble Saga. Whether players want to compete with each other through multiplayer of Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, explore more than 150 levels by themselves, or use the Wii Balance Board for additional fun, this game really will deliver an action-packed adventure for gamers of all ages."
Certainly sounds too action-packed for me. Think you can handle the pressure? Wait and see next spring.
