Equiibrio might not have the flash of a Kororinpa, but you're still getting an enjoyable game at a much cheaper price.
While we've already seen several 3D ball-rolling titles like Sega's Super Monkey Ball and Hudson's Kororinpa put the tilt function of the Wii Remote to good use, Equilibrio marks the first time this unique gameplay experience has...

Nintendo Download 27 & 28 April (Japan)
World Game Parade comes to a close, bountiful VC and lots of DSiWare, next week in Japan
WiiWare: Katamuki Spirits (500pts - Marvelous) – Whilst it may have a fancier sounding name, this is of course DK Games' Equilibrio re-badged as the final entry in Marvelous Entertainment's World Game Parade. We certainly thought it was a fun marble rolling...

Western indie games heading for the Land of the Rising Sun

Nintendo Download Bubble Bobble Plus! & More WiiWare Goodies (EU)
Bub and Bob come to WiiWare today!
It seems like Nintendo of Europe wants to make up for their single WiiWare release two weeks ago - This week there's not one, not two, but three new games available! Sadly there are no new DSiWare games today, you can’t have everything you want can you? Bubble Bobble Plus! is obviously the biggest release of the...
Nintendo Download DSiWare, Equilibrio & Uncharted Waters (US)
A monster DSiWare update to kick off the new North American ‘Nintendo Download’. Worry not, Wiiware and VC fans are not completely forgotten this week either.
As you will see this week’s 'Nintendo Download' update is a bit of a beast as it includes all the DSiWare launch titles (which of course came out on Sunday!). For those thinking about...
News Equilibrio Available on WiiWare Today in North America
Gripping, Gyrating Ball Puzzler That Tests the Old Grey Matter played with either the Wii Remote or Wii Balance Board.
There were whispers of the WiiWare action puzzler, Equilibrio coming out today in North America over the weekend, but we thought we’d wait until we could show you the full press release. For Balance Board owners this looks set to...
News DK Games Interview - Equilibrio
With the recent announcement of DK Games' first WiiWare entry Equilibrio, we thought it might be a good time to talk to the man behind the game in an attempt to gain a bit more insight into the game and the development studio behind it.
Lead developer of DK Games Christophe Kohler was kind enough to take time out of his busy development schedule to...
News DK Games Announces Equilibrio for WiiWare
Watch out kids, there’s a new WiiWare game in town! Equilibrio seems to be a simple, but fun game involving a ball rolling around a giant maze full of obstacles at break neck speed. With a low price point promised, 4 player and balance board support this is sure to be a winner we think.
It’s interesting that we are starting to see more and more...
About The Game
Set in a colorful world the challenge may look simple but Equilibrio tests not only your reflexes but the old gray matter and is in perfect synergy with Wii.
The basic concept of getting your ball to the exit pod to finish the level is turned upside down, literally, as you use your Wii Remote or Wii Balance Board to rotate the play area varying degrees in either direction. Players carefully, skillfully move the spinning ball through corridors, along ledges to complete levels that are fraught with dangers. Move the ball too fast and it can shatter, leaving you to pick up the pieces and restart the level. Go too slow and the ‘equilibrio’ of the ball will not be powerful enough to spring to the desired spot!

This game looks so cool. Hope this is better than TIM.
wow... comparing it to a different game thats not even similar?
Different developer, different graphics, collecting things.. wow.
@gameking: How on earth can you compare this with THAT? I think you'll find that this one looks pretty ace - although classic controller or retro support would have been a nice addition as well (as with Niki Rock 'n' Ball)
The Balance Board certainly makes this all the more interesting. One to watch for me
@Wiiloveit the reason TIM came to mind was the fact that you use the Wiimote the same way as TIM, and they both have marbles in them. This game does look great I'm definitely going to buy this one. Unlike TIM which I plan on never buying.
Hmm,looks a bit like Linerider,if you ask me. But if it is more than 500 Wii Points - you can forgett it -it has not even a level creator!
This had been PEGI rated (except for the UK, strangely enough), so expect it next WiiWare update or shortly after!
It's strange that this game is not up on the ESRB website. The video says rated E so has this game been rated or not?
So this is basically a rather straight forward Cameltry (also known as On The Ball) rip off? Hmmmm... I don't know really... I mean, it does look quite alot better than Cameltry, but I've never really been a fan of that game either...
I wish this game would come out already. I already have Wii Points set aside for this game so I hope it come out soon.
Tell me about it. Wonder what's with the wait.
Maybe this will come out with swords and soldiers tomorrow.
Still waiting....
And waiting.... (Next comment: And waiting....)
I got a feeling it'll come out this month, though. Or at least, I hope so.
And waiting some more. I have a feeling it might come out this month. Then again I had a feeling it would come out last mont... and the month b4 that.
Have anyone else noticed lately that when companies say "Coming Out Soon", it's quite some time before the game is actually released. It's not just this game. We expected Bit. Trip. in Feb. and got it in Mar. However, that game came out all right. I don't know how this game will come out, but at least there are photos and a video.
By the way, the video makes me extremely intrigued about this game. I won't expect it out soon, but when it comes, it will be fantastic (I hope.)
Yep, I mentioned before how it seems like games that are announced to be coming soon and have a slated release date and everything seems to get pushed one month later. Evasive Space and Snowboard Riot were planned for January, both appeared in February. Bit.Trip Beat, same thing as you just mentioned.
If it comes out now, I'll be upset that I don't have Wii Points to get it, especially since I bet it would hold me over until I can get Marble Saga: Kororinpa. In any case, the situation is somewhat distressing. Can you imagine how this makes the developers feel...
I hope this comes out Monday and NOT Texas Hold'em Tournament. I still stand by my March prediction and if not, then in the first week of April but anything after that, I'm stumped...
Maybe there is a bottleneck effect going on. Only a few games can come out every week, and there are many games that want to be released, therefore causing a huge build-up of "coming soon" games in the wait line. If this is true, I don't see any problem in increasing the amount of available downloads from 1-2 to 3-4. I don't have the theory for sudden announcements of games like Bonsai Barber, however.
It's simple 4 Bonsai Barber to come out because Nintendo developed it. So that means that Nintendo put whatever game of theirs out there whenever they want. Meaning the games that we actually want to play get held back.
I hope that Equilibrio and/or Swords and Soldiers comes out this Monday along with Bonsai Barber and Texas Hold'em. Equilibrio and Swords and Soldiers both look like terrific games, where Bonsai Barber looks like grade-A shovelware and Texas Hold'em doesn't interest me (despite being mildly good.)
Oh, and I'll give a shout-out to Cocoto Platform Jumper to come out this weekend as well.
Yea I hope that Equilibrio comes out Monday, but at this rate we will probably be disappointed again. I always could be wrong about this ( I do hope I'm wrong).
Ya I just found out that Equilibrio is comming out this Monday. Here is the post from thier website. - 31/03/09 - Equilibrio Release
Equilibrio will be released in the US by the 6th of April and in Europe by the 10th of April.
@gameking23
Ugh, yeah, wasted Monday for me.
.It's finally here! Each one to his own I guess, Atlantis.
Reminds me of Cameltry by Taito.
500 points and BB support? sign me up
Downloading Now.
So, has anyone tried it? Game play video looks great, hope it plays well with the wii-mote as well though.
Edit: Still no impressions? I might break down and have to buy it.. is everyone too busy playing this to give a thumbs up?
I just got home and I'll be downloading it soon, coming back later with impressions.
@KnucklesSonic8 - Well? What do you think?
@Sry two thumbs up here. Go ahead buy it.
Where's the review?
And the review is.... ?
Still waiting.... Still waiting.... Still waiting.... only this time for the review.
I saw K8's comments on another page but anyone else have an opinion or a general # out of 10? Please describe why, as a # is only a # after all.
It seems our designated reviewer for this title will be unable to do the review, so I'll be stepping in to do the review. I'll get it reviewed as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience.
Jay thoughts (reposted from today's news topic!)
1. I'm up to level 9, and it's still tutorial levels. If I did crap like this, I'd have more than 10 levels per game, too.. Man, I hate tutorials...!
2. Balance board completely unnecessary.. You still have to hold the controller in your hand anyway.. If you stand on the floor, hold the controller, and lean as you would on the balance board.. .. Same thing.
3. Levels last (so far) about 5 or 6 seconds.. Then there's a 5 or 6 second unskippable jingle, then there's the highscores, then there's the "You got X 'not-an-achievement'" thing, then there's level select.
By level 3 you're wishing it just got on with the game already.
Additional : Jingle started to tick me off.. Gave up.. Quit game..
You quit that quickly? Wow.... That's lame since you're only on Level 9 when there's over 40 left to go and then there's still more.
But the jingle is unskippable so I suppose that could annoy some. XD
If anyone wants to know anything about the game, lemme know.
I have an idea: why not choose the balls you want, imean the glass ball is only on few levels.
