Hudson Entertainment and Konami Digital Entertainment today announced that Kororinpa: Marble Mania for the Wii has shipped to retail stores nationwide. Promising an inventive control scheme, Marble Mania offers a unique video game experience that is challenging for seasoned gamers, and accessible for players of all ages. While tackling over 100 different stages, players will use the Wii Remote to twist, turn and bounce their marble around the game world.

In Marble Mania, players use 3D motion controls to tilt, spin and flip the environment on three axes and up to 180 degrees in order to guide marbles through each unique maze full of obstacles and contraptions. Adding to the gameplay dynamic, players can gather crystals as they navigate through the maze to unlock new stages and unique marbles. Once each stage is completed, players can use other types of marbles – over 20 in the game with different characteristics and abilities – to retry levels, adding additional replay value. Kororinpa: Marble Mania is published by Hudson and distributed by Konami. The game is rated “E” for everyone by the ESRB and is available for a suggested retail price of $39.99.
