SEGA Announces Super Monkey Ball Series in the Third Dimension
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (September 29, 2010) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that the legendary Super Monkey Ball series has evolved and is coming exclusively to the Nintendo 3DS™ in 2011. Developed by SEGA Studio Japan, Super Monkey Ball™ for Nintendo 3DS™* offers a whole new level of interactivity and fun, whilst completely immersing you in the world of your favourite monkeys – AiAi, MeeMee, GonGon and Baby – as they truly come alive in front of your eyes.
“The moment I saw the features of the Nintendo 3DS, I could not help thinking how perfectly Super Monkey Ball would work on this new hardware. I could quickly picture myself holding the Nintendo 3DS using the motion sensor and playing Super Monkey Ball” commented Toshiro Nagoshi, creator and developer of the Super Monkey Ball franchise. “The simple gameplay allows players to enjoy the 3D graphics to the fullest and now that we have brought this vision to life…bingo! We have our all-time favourite Super Monkey Ball experience with the new excitement of the Nintendo 3DS!”
Taking advantage of the power of the Nintendo 3DS, players can let themselves loose in each new vibrant world as they twist and turn whilst aiming to collect every banana in the fastest time possible. This latest installment contains three brand-new compelling gameplay choices including single-player puzzle levels, Monkey Race and Monkey Fight. These new game modes give players the chance to compete via wireless connection with up to four players in the best 3D social experience possible in the palm of their hands. In addition, Super Monkey Ball fans will be able to choose between the Nintendo 3DS motion sensor or the Slide Pad to navigate the puzzle mazes with complete precision. Super Monkey Ball for Nintendo 3DS (working title) is set to release in 2011. For more information please visit www.sega.com/supermonkeyball3d.

I so want the Monkey Ball games to go back to how great they were in Monkey Ball 1, 2 and Deluxe.
But so far from these screenshots I’m already worried… So far every screenshot I see nothing that is even the slightest bit of a challenge. The whole point of Monkey Ball was to get to the end of the level with out falling off the level while collecting bananas… Now it looks like the challenge would be to find a place where you CAN fall off the level. Where is the fun in that?
Secondly but probably even more important to me at least is the bloody mini games! They have been nothing but glorified tech demos since Banana Blitz… Instead of being a small number of great fun to play and fleshed out party games to keep me and my friends entertained for hours on end like Monkey Target, Monkey Race and Monkey Fight on Super Monkey Ball Deluxe they are nothing but flash in the pan tech demos showing off what the new gimmicky console can do and not worth playing more then once.
For the love of all that is holy get back to making Monkey Ball games that are good and fun for everyone. Not just a cheap kid’s game.
TELL ME EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT SEGA… TELL ME.

Sharky, I get your concern but these could just be the easiest levels in the game to get people comfortable with SMB who may have never played them before. Also, there could be gaps or moving platforms that we obviously can’t see right now.

RandomBlogReader, That could well be the case… I’m just not feeling the last 2 SMB games on the Wii. I hope that is the case, but you’d think they would show off some of the harder levels too if that was the case.
