Here’s an overview of Big Brain Academy:

“Big Brain Academy brings fresh entertainment anyone young and young at heart can enjoy. It’s the perfect way to challenge and stimulate your mind. Test your mental acuity in a five-category quiz: thinking, memorization, computation, analysis, and identification.”

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.

The situation surrounding Anima: Gate of Memories on Wii U has been a weird one. During the project’s early days, an eShop release was pretty much set in stone. Publisher BadLand Indie ended up claiming last July that a Wii U version is no longer in the cards, which then prompted the game’s developer to say otherwise.

Now things have taken a turn for the worse once again. Here’s an excerpt from Anima’s latest Kickstarter update:

“Anima Gate of Memories will be released simultaneously in Windows, Xbox One and PS4 and we are working to be able to release a few months later a WiiU version (which, even if we are still not sure, we hope that will be possible). Right now we are trying to discover if we can provide a console key. Give us a few more weeks to see if it can be done.”

The Wii U version hasn’t been cancelled outright, but there might be a reason to be concerned. We’ll keep you informed as we hear more about the situation.
