Super Monkey Ball 3D Ad
Here’s a very Japanese advert if I ever saw one! The lengthy advert highlights the three game play modes featured in Super Monkey Ball 3D.
The Classic Super Monkey Ball game play which we all know and love. Monkey Race which is a bit of a Mario Kart knock off and Monkey Fight, which is a bit of a Smash Bros knock off… Yeah.
Why they felt they needed to change Race and Fight from the frankly great fun party games they were in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe is beyond me but even more strange in my opinion is the omission of Monkey Target, easily the best party game the series ever had. Oh well, maybe next time.

Wow thats a lotta content
The main game has changed a lot too, entirely for the worst.
I wish they focused on just the main puzzle levels this time instead of trying to reinvent their minigames again.
I think the monkey ball series has become a cashcow ever since banana blitz. Toshihiro Nagoshi used to play a big part in the games development. F-zero on the gamecube was another game where nagoshi was playing a big role at the time.
It's like ever since the yakuza series, that's all their focussing on. I'm talking about amusement vision, whatever they're called today
What have early reviews said about it?
