Kuru Kuru Kururin

You like old games, I guess, then I recommend it.

But we'll move just straight along to our third game, Kuru Kuru Kururin.

[upbeat music] Kuru Kuru Kururin, released June 22nd, 2001, in the PAL region, uh, not released in North America until 2016 on the virtual console, one of our first games only released in PAL in Japan.

Published by Nintendo and developed by Eighting, who seem to be known mainly for their anime games, a lot of Naruto and a lot of Bleach games, as well as a, uh, a Fullmetal Alchemist game that I think I'm gonna need to go check out now.

I didn't even consider that to be a possibility of existing, so that's gonna be pretty fun.

Sometimes they just kind of disappear or are entirely absorbed by other companies and really disappear.

It'd be interesting to look back and explore some of these a little bit more because, again, I'm real distracted with the companies.

Kuru Kuru Kururin is a puzzle action game in which you take the role of a little bird controlling a spinning stick as you make your way through a series of mazes, as you do not touch the walls.

You don't really need to understand Japanese in order to play them.

Um, I think it's also included in the English store, but on the GBA specifically is Kuru Kuru Kururin.

Yeah.

Uh, which is where you are just a rotating-

... and Banjo-Tooie are in it, and they're really, really good.

And-

This is Kuru Kuru Kururin.

This is Kuru Kuru Kururin.

Okay, we'll get back to it.

Kurukuru Kururin.

I have no real interest in them bringing back this franchise.

I think that'd be kind of cool.
