Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD launches on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 29th. Physical pre-orders are now available at all major retailers; all physical editions come with sticker sheets featuring AiAi and friends!
This HD remake revitalises this classic title with updated graphics (480p > 1080p at 60fps) and optimised controls for each platform. Motion controls from the original Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz have been removed in favour of tightened analog controls, making it a breeze to jump in and start rolling through the game’s 100 levels.
About Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD:
- Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz is Back in HD: Originally released on the Wii in 2006, what this HD remake does is it 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: This will be available on the 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 into the fun!
I was never good at this game when it was released back in the early ’00s. The control system was maddening but it still had that impressive charm.
