Super Monkey Ball Is Rolling Its Way Onto Vita

and yet i still dont want a vita

Seems like it would fit on the platform.

theme song

What's with the Kotaku-esque video title?

Why is it that the GameCube's visuals are still the best for these games? Maybe it's the more cartoony style, but Monkey Ball games since 2 have all looked way worse.

Did you think Monkey Ball was going to sell you on the platform?

If Monkey Ball can't sell a platform, video games are DONE.

@neek:

Wow, still? Even after what we've seen at TGS? You're a stronger man than I.

Say what

Shit's ballin'.

I at least hope this has some actual difficulty unlike the 3DS version that WAS NOT Monkey Ball as it should have been.

F'ck you Perry for that title. Seriously what the hell.

HD Monkeyball on a gorgeous Vita screen? Yes, give me that, I want it. Also, Perry? Posting privileges revoked.

New intern.

maybe.. if they would have made it as good as the first and second.

Sega have this, Namco has Ridge Racer.

Other publishers are missing out because they don't have one of those "we can shit these out at a moment's notice" franchises that plague the launch of every console.

Has a Raving Rabbids game been announced?

I...

I...

Couldn't care less about that game.

@TehJedicake: why would you click the link and comment then?

The Super Monkey Ball series continues to confuse me. Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 (and Deluxe) were awesome games. Since then, they've tried to change it up with new control schemes and whatnot, but the result is always "not as good as 1 and 2." Imagine Super Monkey Ball 3, controlled with the analog stick, NO JUMP BUTTON, for $15 on XBLA and PSN. Yeah, buddy.

It took me so fucking long to get all of the medals in Super Monkey Ball 2. Never visiting that hell again.

@dillinger: Cause I'm the Miz........ and I'm....... AWWWWWWWEEESOMMMEEEEE!!!

It's kind of sad that this series has reached a plateau in terms of gameplay but that camera feature at the end actually looks kinda cool

you know what... I think the vita could do with out this on the platform... but, if they use the Vita in a new way I am on board. Wonder what they are using the GPS for.

Maybe im getting old but im just not exited about the Vita.

Is this real life?

Who knew having huge signs blocking the gameplay would backfire in a gameplay trailer?

Methinks that the level design has not been anything remotely decent since Monkey Ball 2. Fuck you, Sega, for ruining this franchise. Fuck you.

@TehJedicake: does your caregiver know you're on the internet?

Sigh... Super Monkey Ball 2 was such a good game. Series has been garbage ever since.

@dillinger: She um.. she... she... died... I'm left all alone :'(

Yeah. I would have been okay with doing it once or twice, but that was crazy annoying.

Fuck everything about this. Super Monkey Ball 1, 2, DX and Jr. are four of my favorite arcadey games ever. Since then, they've reduced the series to challenge-free, garbage minigame collections. What little ball-rolling there is has been reduced to these gigantic levels surrounded by LITERAL FUCKING WALLS that make falling off the levels impossible. Monkey Ball is trash now, which is a bummer, because it used to be so good.

I'm not even opposed to that post-Banana Blitz, highly-saturated colorful style. It's cute and fine and whatever. They just completely fucked up the gameplay.

This is, without exaggeration, the video game I want most. Like, the idea of it makes me UPSET. That's how bad I want it.

Gameplay being blocked by cardboard box sign graphics perfect.
