Kororinpa & Marbles Balance Challenge on Wii

Feb 12, 2017

The information in this article, has been taken from a Facebook page I set back up in 2009, but didn’t really update the page after that year. I had uploaded a few videos and information, before deleting the Facebook page I thought would transfer to my site just in case anyone still searches about the game.

Kororinpa (Marbles Balance Challenge) & the follow up Marble Saga: Koroinpa were games released for the Nintendo Wii in 2007 & 2009. The first game was one of the reasons I brought the Wii, as the tilt control of the wii remote to move the ball around the mazes worked great. The first game gave us hours of fun especially having multiplayer to beat each others times. The second game I wasn’t as keen on as the first, but you could then use the Wii Fit balance board. Even now in 2017, I still have the Wii as great still for party games and still find myself sometimes putting these games on, so below is all the info I put on the Facebook page, Sorry about the quality of the video and photo do remember this was in 2009 they were uploaded 🙂
