The excellent news is that, as leaked by Taiwan’s games rating committee, Sega’s speedy ball-roller (and get together game assortment) Super Monkey Ball is coming to PC. The much less excellent news is that Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD is a re-release of the not-especially-great Wii game within the collection. Still, it was held again by its extraordinarily awkward tilt-centric Wii controls, which can most certainly be excised from this re-release. Whether they’ll be doing something concerning the bland degree design is unknown. Below, a fairly frankly baffling teaser trailer, exhibiting nothing of the 13 yr previous game.
It’s disappointing that they determined to not mud off the unique games (ideally SMB Deluxe, which mixed all the degrees from the unique two games into one), however a minimum of there’s room for main enchancment on this one. Despite the Wii providing a superbly good analogue stick, they only didn’t allow you to use it, making even the easy act of transferring straight ahead a less-than-straightforward process. Given that the Switch is the one platform the HD model is headed to with any type of movement controls, it appears secure to breathe a sigh of reduction that it’ll be simpler to play this time.
As for what to anticipate, right here’s the game being thrashed to inside an inch of its lovable monkey life at AGDQ 2016. Imagine this however with sharper graphics and fewer obnoxious controls and I’d think about you’re near Banana Blitz HD.
Banana Blitz additionally commits a number of sins in its degree design, with plenty of gradual empty corridors and a few primary platforming, due to the unneeded addition of a leap button. I actually can’t bear in mind a lot of the Banana Blitz assortment of get together games, however these can equally solely be improved by remodeling the controls. So far it doesn’t sound like an excessive amount of is altering. Sega say the HD model can have “updated graphics” and “optimised control schemes for each platform”, plus on-line leaderboards and a celebration game Decathlon mode that includes ten games again to again.
There’s no PC retailer pages up for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD up but, however you may see slightly extra on its official page here, and it launches on October 29th. Here’s hoping that Sega mud off SMB Deluxe after they’re completed with this one.
