We have another look at Magiana thanks to a poster for the upcoming Pokemon movie. As mentioned earlier today, the creature will star in Volcanion and the Ingenious Magiana.
Here’s an overview of the film:
“As Ash and his friends continue their journey, Volcanion drops down from the sky in front of them. Volcanion’s object is to recover Magiana, who has been abducted by the “Azoth Kingdom”, a city of super-machinery. However, Volcanion and Ash have become linked together by a strange (?????). Will the two of them manage to work together and save Magiana?”

It turns out that Kuru Kuru Kururin isn’t the only new game slated for the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. Nintendo’s website also lists Big Brain Academy and Polarium Advance for release tomorrow.
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!”
Pricing for each of the Virtual Console games is set at $6.99 each.
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 latest footage from Fire Emblem Fates taken by GameXplain focuses on the relationship-side of the game. Below, you can check out marriage, meeting Corrin’s child, and bonding.
Later this month, a 336-page art book for Genei Ibun Roku #FE will be published in Japan. It’s due out on February 26 for 3,780 yen.
Naturally, the book will feature a ton of art. There are plans to include images from character designer toi8, plus shots of the Performers, Mirages, weapons, backgrounds, and props. That’s all in addition to photos of the voice actors such as Ryouhei Kimura, Inori Minase, reproduction of Tsubasa Oribe’s “Weekly Young Rabbits Gravure” and Maiko Shimazaki’s legendary “My COMPLEX” magazines, and dialogue scripts from the main story and sub-stories.
