The first GameCube title is nestled safely under my TV
We’ve heard this sentiment before, and we’ll hear it again: if you buy [this thing you kinda wanted but not exactly], then we’ll make [the thing you truly wanted all along]. So it goes forSuper Monkey Ball.
It’s been just over a month since Sega put outSuper Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, a remaster of the 2006 Nintendo Wii game minus the motion controls. It wasn’t our top pick, but it turned out decently. What are the chances we’ll see another remaster or perhaps even a newSuper Monkey Balltitle?
Speaking toCrunchyroll, game director Masao Shirosaki says thatBanana Blitzwas hand-picked due to time and budget constraints. “AfterJudgment‘s development came to a wrap, some of the staff members and I became available,” he said. “I volunteered and the project officially began.”
There was internal interest before, but they struggled to “gather the right team of people.”
Shirosaki went on to say he’s fully aware that amongSuper Monkey Ballfans, “the most favored titles are the first two games.” He also added that with “enough support” forBanana Blitz HD, “this will open up doors for remaking the first two games or even a whole new title to the series.”
“But for now, I’d be happy if everyone has fun playingBanana Blitz HD,” he said.
I’m considered it, especially now that it’s on sale.
