Ok, NOW I can see the justification of this peripheral. Still not buying it, though.

The first Monkey Ball was one of my favorite games on the Gamecube. Such a simple concept, yet so brilliant.

Yay, what a great idea to make a Balance Board controlled Super Money Ball game with. But, still, nothing beats the first one.

Haha, it looks like it. I really hope that it stays that way.

I'd find this charming if not for their freaky brown Pac-Man eyes. Also: if it was charming.

looks ok if they get the controls right, but i think monkey ball reached its prime around mb2 on gamecube, and its been a slow downhill since then.

the first two monkey ball games were actually my 2nd and 3rd favorite games for the gamecube, only barely beaten by metroid prime. it is a really simple concept that just turns out to be incredible fun.

"Coming Winter 2010"

That must be a typo.  Making a Monkey Ball game cannot take that long...

Personally I thought that teaser trailer was rather neat. 


What's up with all the negative feedback? Everyone is so grumpy and goth on Giantbomb now-a-days :(

I liked the Monkey Ball game that came out for the Wii.  Will probably buy this game.

People still care about Super Monkey Ball? I'd have rather seen a review of Little Kings Story...

I found (most of) the Monkey Ball games to be fun, including the first Wii one. This might be good (this teaser is kind of cute, no lie)

More Monkey ball. Cool. But a year and a half away seems like a lot.

For real for real. Banana Blitz was pretty much garbage, and this looks like a direct sequel to that but with an even jankier control method.

I really need someone to sit me down and explain to me why there isn't an XBLA/PSN version of Super Monkey Ball out there. It seems like the type of thing that should have happened like 2 years ago. The SMB series is the perfect pick-up-and-play, arcadey, score-based, actiony gameplay, and I would hella buy level packs as DLC too.

I guess what I'm asking is, why does Sega hate money? Super Monkey Ball DX is still fucking awesome.
