And Polarium Advance:

“Create horizontal rows of the same color to clear the board. There are 365 puzzles, with many modes and special titles that will challenge your mind. Get familiar with the rules and try practicing on a few levels, play against the clock, or create your very own puzzles!”

Kuru Kuru Kururin is heading to the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, according to a listing on Nintendo’s website. The GBA game will be sold for just $4.99.

Here’s a brief overview:

“Kururin’s brothers and sisters are lost across 10 different worlds! In his special helicopter, the Helirin, navigate through mazes as quickly as you can while avoiding obstacles such as walls, pistons, and cannons. You can also customize your Helirin by using items acquired in Adventure mode.”

Kuru Kuru Kururin’s release on the North American Wii U Virtual Console is particularly noteworthy. Originally, the title was only sold in Europe and Japan. This marks the first time that it will be officially available in the states.
