“Super Monkey Ball has always been a very simple game with very simple gameplay,” Baba said. The reason for this was to give players a new way to play the game and increase the “party feel” of the title. While in Japan, we sat down with producer Yasuhito Baba, whose first-time involvement with the Super Monkey Ball series led to the upcoming Wii title Super Monkey Ball: Step and Roll.Īccording to Baba, the new title’s biggest improvement over the last Super Monkey Ball on the Wii, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, is the use of the Wii Balance Board in gameplay. Since its early arcade days, Super Monkey Ball has gradually grown in popularity in Japan, North America, and Europe, spawning several ports and sequels throughout the years for the Nintendo GameCube, the PlayStation 2, the Xbox, the GameBoy Advance, the DS, and, most recently, the Wii.Īlthough its concept is simple-rolling a monkey around in a giant transparent ball-its platforming elements are increasingly complex, giving the series longevity and popularity across different age groups.
