It’s here! The first gameplay trailer for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD!
The game is a remake of the Wii game of the same title (without the HD, of course), but naturally the Switch version gets significant upgrades—graphically and otherwise.
Check out the features list below, and note the removal of motion controls in favor of tighter analogue controls. This might surprise fans of the original series, for whom the motion controls was a key selling point, but the Nintendo fandom has always been rather divided on motion controls anyway… makes sense that Sega would give analogue a go this time around.
Features:
– Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz is Back in HD: Originally released on the Wii in 2006, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD reinvigorates the original game with 100 single-player stages, 10 multi-player mini-games, revamped control schemes, updated graphics, and more.
– Online Leaderboards: A first for the series, players can now compete with others around the world through online leaderboards for single-player Time Attack and the all-new Mini-Game Decathalon Score Attack modes.
– No Monkey Business – Play Your Way: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. With uniquely optimized control schemes for each platform, everyone from first-time rollers to world-record holders can jump right in to the fun.
Now go check out the gameplay trailer and get ready to roll on October 29th!
