Good to finally see a decent Wii game though!

Oh joy, I pre-ordered this game a couple of months ago and have been really looking forward to it, hoping that it would be one of those rare GREAT Wii games!!! I noticed that the game's release date has constantly been slipping though which is extremely annoying... :(

Too bad it's not out for another two weeks.

Btw, looking at the release dates I found Final Fantasy IV for the DS with a releasedate of 14th May. Bit wrong I guess.

Assuming this isnt a full price 40 quid or anywhere near I may get this.
Is this going to become the standard type of wii game? I really hope not....

@ symmetry

depends on why you didn't like it; was it the contols, the style of the game, or was the original flawed in ways that got fixed in the PSP sequel?

Assume you hold the remote horizontally to play this (i.e. SNES style) and not 'Stupid Monkey Ball' vertically ?

please say YES !

At last, judging by how she flings the PSP around when playing this, my wife would be awesome at this version....

I have been coming back to kororinpa so mcuh for 2 player battles, I can't imagine buying this if you can't have 2 players race to the end.

NO 2 player, NO SALE
SORRY Kororinpa does better.

This title is $29.99 in the US; I'll gladly pay £20. The £39.99 price tag on the Game website is very worrying.

Now is the time to remove the dust off the Wii and allow the console to overheat and meltdown.

3william56: If this was a downloadable game and priced with that in mind yep that would be perfect.

YAY, some good news at last.
Pity it's not my sort of game, but this definately suits the wii (unlike those ubisoft games, YOU HEAR ME UBI?)

@3William56: agreed. Though I'm secretly hoping they make one with more realistic colors and materials, a cheap PSN release with good sixaxis support and not much else changed would do nicely too.

Excellent. I've been waiting to hear whether they'd nailed this one and it looks as though they have. And since I skipped Monkey Ball on the Wii, I think it's about time I treated myself to a bit of balance-orientated puzzling.

With any luck I might get the Missus playing this too.

The screenshots are a bit misleading, this isn't a ball-rolling game. Sometimes, occasionally, your mercury will be hardened into a ball. You spend most of the time as a blob of liquid.

"Used to love Marble Madness, but how long ago was that?.."

That was about 20 years ago now... sorry! :-)

That reminds me, the Nokia 5500 has a motion sensor built into it, and includes a Marble Madness-style game that uses the sensor:

@Mapster

Look at the Colour Guide in the top right of the screen shots, if you can distinguish between the colours there, Then you should be alright.

There's Silver, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Red, Green and Blue.

any game that forces you to "split your blob" can't be that bad!

Actually yeah I agree with the martial arts game suggestion. Along with a dancemat game with wiimote/nunchuck hand movements...

Theres the new Mortal Kombat on Wii, I've heard thats a decent fighting game.

Thats four 9/10 games for the Wii and the console has been released for 5 months. But it's just a shame that Trauma hasn't been released over here yet.

Edit: Lol, got mixed up between Wii & PS3, sorry!
