New Super Monkey Ball Game Revealed

Feb 21, 2024 2:31 PM

Fans of the Super Monkey Ball series have something new to look forward to with the announcement of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble for the Nintendo Switch. The game is set to launch exclusively on the Switch platform on June 25, offering players over 200 fresh levels to master. In addition to the traditional gameplay, where players maneuver the levels themselves rather than the titular characters, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble introduces a new dash move that allows for the creation of shortcuts, potentially changing up the strategies for veteran players. The game will also support gyroscopic motion controls as an optional feature for those who prefer a more physical gaming experience. Multiplayer has not been neglected; locally, the game will support up to four players, and for those keen on online play, up to sixteen players can compete against each other. Super Monkey Ball has enjoyed popularity from its arcade days and its time on the GameCube, and this new title aims to continue that legacy.

When is Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble releasing on the Nintendo Switch?

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch on June 25.

The Super Monkey Ball series, originally developed by Amusement Vision and published by Sega, started in 2001 with an arcade release. It quickly became notable for its fun, challenging gameplay and the unique concept of tilting the entire world to navigate a monkey encapsulated within a transparent ball. It has since spawned numerous sequels across various platforms, each title bringing new levels, modes, and features to keep the gameplay exciting and fresh. Notably, the franchise has also become known for its party game elements, often featuring a variety of multiplayer mini-games in addition to its main puzzle-like rolling stages.
