All 12 mini-games in one game? I'm down.

 

[bjork]

no banana shaped peripheral yet?

 

[Hero]

I wonder who'll be to blame when it doesn't sell.

 

[Lyte Edge]

OMFG ROTFLMAO TEH GAME CUBE IS TEH PWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111~~

Awesome, I have to pick this one up. I'm pretty satisfied with the original SMB, but this is just too good of a deal to pass up on.

I wonder who'll be to blame when it doesn't sell.

It's a Sega game. No one is expecting it to sell.

 

[Solid]

looking forward to playing it on my Xbox.

 

[Buffy4ever]

do we really need another Super Monkey Ball thread DX? We already had two.

 

[Kiriku]

I know I may be asking for too much, but will it be a budget title too?

$29.99 according to EBGames.

I bet they'll find a way to blame Nintendo, like maybe saying putting it on GCN first gave the series a perception that it's for kids and tainted the chances for mainstream success.

3rd party problems, time to blame Nintendo.

 

[WarPig]

DFS.

Hey, that's pretty good!

 

[Scottlarock]

29.99 for two games + more?!? I'm sold.

 

[sc0la]

Super monkey ball 1 is one of my favorite games, I want details on the multiplayer games. I wonder if monkey flight 1 is even included since they could just include 2 and "leave it at that" which would suck since monkey flight 2 sucks my balls.

If the extra levels are more in the vein of SMB than SMB2 then I am definately interested in this package though for Xbox, I can't stand PS2 analog sticks.

 

[Hotsuma]

Any chance at online play or online score tracking?

 

[StoOgE]

awesome.. I really liked this game at the arcade..

of course, Im part of the problem.. why buy this at 30 bucks when we all know it will be 15 or less within 6 months? Ive allready waiting 2 years.

 

[Hellraizah]

Remember where you heard it first.

 

[jarrod]

How about PSP & DS ports? They'd make more sense actually...

Absolutely Pathetic

holy crap, what the hell did I miss?

Answered your own question.

Stylus controls + Super Monkey Ball precision would probably give me hand spasms after 15 mins.

Don't think the PSP would fare much better with that tiny analogue stick either though.

Evidently Namco got it right with Pac'n Roll...

The analog "nub" is suppossedly great as well... I just wish PSP had 2 of them.

 

[M3wThr33]

Isn't the PSP nub just 360, not pressure sensitive?

Great. I have zero interested in this game but I will buy it just to show my support to Sega and Xbox.

translated:
"Thank you, Nintendo fans, for buying 2 games for $49 each.
Thanks to your efforts, XBox and PS2 users will be able to buy both on one disc for $29.
Oh, by the way, we give them a few extra levels you won't have a chance to play ... unless you buy another console and the game - could you do this, please?"

 

[Sho Nuff]

~MAGICAL SPELL IS EI-EI-PU!!!

Seriously, the cutscenes in the second game are beyond awesome. I like how they have multiple intonations for the monkeys saying "Muki muki muki"

 

[Shinobi]

:lol

 

[Socreges]

:lol

I've never seen that image used before like that, though it's been a long time coming.

efralope is suuuuuch a douche.

 

[sasimirobot]

Is there a Gamecube joystick adapter for Xbox or PS2? No really... This game just seems to me to fit the GCN controller perfectly.

<dum dam duum music>Que hate </dum dam duum music>

 

[8bit]

Screens at magic box, as well as a list of minigames:

* Monkey Race DX
* Monkey Fighting Spirits DX
* Monkey Target DX
* Monkey Billiard DX
* Monkey Bore DX(Bowling?)
* Monkey Golf DX
* Monkey Boat
* Monkey Shot
* Monkey Dog Fight Spirits
* Monkey Futsal(Football?)
* Monkey Baseball
* Monkey Tennis

I'm a bit curious about the DX suffix. Has Monkey Target changed again?

Well, until the game's released, I don't see how you can dismiss the potential for the other controllers' usability with the game. Though, the DS sticks are way too loose for me to think they'd be better than the XBOX ones. Guess we'll have to just wait and see.
