New Super Monkey Ball Game Rated Again, This Time In South Korea

Are you ready to be reunited with AiAi after all these years?

Aye aye, sir.

I won't believe it's real until it gets a North Korean rating.

Was Banan Blitz any good? I loved the first two SMB games, but I seem to remember hearing that one was not great.

I won't be getting Banana Blitz, it was nowhere as good as the original 2 with 50 pretty poor mini games and terrible controls in single player. Please bring the vastly superior Gamecube entries or at least make the new game play like them

@nintendolie

Very good.

I want a remaster of the first two games. I would be thrilled.

@JasmineDragon I love the first two games and like Banana Blitz. But then I also like the 3ds and Vita monkey Ball games. Banana Blitz has good regular levels and has a few good mini games. I think Monkey Target is great in Banana Blitz. For me that's the number one mini game. A long as it runs at 60fps I'll definitely buy this Switch port. I really wish games were marketed as 60fps remasters, or 60fps remakes, rather than HD remasters/remakes. 60fps is far superior to any high resolution!

The irony of a new super monkey bar coming out just as everyone's joycons are wearing out seems lost on Sega.

Interesting. Will definitely buy it if it gets released. I'd love n HD version of Monkey Ball deluxe! Maybe they will finally port it right (and include the space music and artic music from SMB1 in the correct spots...)

@JasmineDragon while most SMB fans would tell you that Banana Blitz wasn't good, I'd beg to differ.

The first 2 entries were masterpieces, so the bar is pretty high after that, so I see where BB gets the hate.

But Banana Blitz is a cool game. While it has 50 minigames, only like what, 5 or 8 are good. But for the main game? I say it's pretty well done.

Colorful worlds, catchy music, some difficult levels here and there, and the game delivers. I like the jump mechanic because it gives you more freedom to do stuff and differentiates itself from the other game in the series with boss battles. And I also like how they are extra worlds that are unlocked similarly to the extra stages in the first 2 games.

Some new monkey ball sounds pretty good to me. Day one for a new entry.

The problem with Banana Blitz was that it's on the same system as Kororinpa: Marble Mania which completely outclasses it in every way imaginable.

That's bananas

Monkey Ball + Switch = Perfect fit!
Have said this from the first time I got my sweaty mits on my switch release day. Perfect for popping joycons off for a quick multiplayer. Can't wait. Definitely a day one for me. Monkey target all the way...

I just hope its as good as smb 1 and 2

Sorry, what the heck is Super Monkey Ball!?! A monkey in a ball? When does that get fun? Ridiculous.

@RadioHedgeFund funny you should say that, my day one switch left joy con is well knackered. Annoying but I suppose these things aren’t immortal. My original gb works though

SMB yeah I’ll take a big dollop of that. I echo the desire to have the first two, Would lie to replay them with a little graphical lick of polish.

@JasmineDragon I enjoyed it a great deal. Much better than the 3DS one which was very flat. Don't know if I'd say it's as good as 1 or 2. It did improve the visual style of the series imo.

Only Gamecube games are fun. The others are meh to me

Just bring back the target mini game where you fly over the targets in the water and try and drop on the bullseye for big points. My friends and I would play that for hours.

Picked up Banana Blitz for $4 last summer. Don’t think I’d double dip unless it’s cheap. It isn’t bad, but I’d rather try some of the more popular entries in the series.

@KIRO I've had mine a year and both left ones suffer massive drift. I'm debating using the sales of goods act on them. Game controllers should last longer than a year.

Great franchise to bring back! Go for it Sega!
