Super Monkey Ball - No Parachute, No Seat Belt, No Problem !!!

[Mystic Monkey]

May be just don't name it Sonic Shuffle or SEGA Shuffle, not everyone has many fond memories of it.
New  Sega All-Stars game might be happening since it looks like SEGA is trying to study the market by putting many SEGA characters in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania.
From the new tweet, it looks like they still got more characters incoming.

Well, I hope they score an amiibo deal with Nintendo over it. Would love more of a collection.

Rumour at least said we got Aiai Amiibo later when SMB Banana Mania's released.




If this true, may be there'll be again later. Who's next? Amiibo Kiryu? Danica Patrick?

In a follow-up tweet, Keighley gives us a glimpse at the future of The Game Awards, with Hideo Kojima trapped inside a ball so that he can never leave ever again. Kojima's not really coming to Banana Mania, though. Is he?

China’s NetEase in Talks to Hire Toshihiro Nagoshi
(Creator of Sega's Yakuza & Super Monkey Ball Series)

NetEase wants to play a bigger role in developing the games and content it hopes will turn into international hits, while also burnishing its credentials as a global rather than purely Chinese firm, the people said.
The publisher established a console game development studio in Japan last summer and hired industry veteran Tetsuya Akatsuka from Bandai Namco Holdings Inc. as its head.
Nagoshi’s hiring will extend that strategy, with the Yakuza creator likely to reprise his role of running a semi-autonomous studio within a larger organization.
