Angry the Clown Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 According to a few reports surfacing online this week, SEGA have handed the Monkey Ball franchise over to Traveller's Tales for the creation of a new story based platform title. Apparently the game has been confirmed in the latest Official PS2 magazine (US or UK publication, I am not sure), pointing out that the title is bound for the PS2 and PSP: There are five themed worlds and different balls to discover, including a wooden one that lets AiAi, MeeMee and chums roll over water. There will also be sections where the monkeys get to fly over to new areas, just like the Monkey Target mini-game. Speaking of which, a bunch of party games and puzzles are being chucked in for good measure. http://www.gamesasylum.com/showarticle.php?articleID=4655 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I'm really not sure about it, but I'll almost certainly succumb anyway. At least these will be all new levels, rather than the new DS game that has all my least favorite bits of SMB2 in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I think Traveller's Tales need to make it Lego Monkey Ball myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Say, that actually looks rather nice. Sega have gone on to confirm that as well as the PS2 and PSP versions, it will also be heading to the Gamecube. The PSP version will feature wi-fi options and a card trading game.

JFo Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I really like the look of those screenshots. I'm happy to see that they're going for a more organic look for the levels in this game rather than the checkerboard patterns from the first two. I wonder if the board still tilts when you move the control stick or if you actually control the monkey in the ball this time out. Anyway, we're long overdue for a new Super Monkey Ball. I'm definitely getting the GameCube version when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
