I said mamma mia!

 

[Dest]

it's what i wanted but it's not at all what i wanted

 

[MisterAnderson]

Does this have Monkey Target from Super Monkey Ball 1/2?

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Pretty big joke of a trailer. How do you not show any actual gameplay of a remastered game in almost 1 whole minute of footage?

 

[KoolAid]

Oh, it's not even a remake?

oh

welp

 

[DontHateTheBacon]

Sigh.

I... I'll play it... that's not what I wanted though...

 

[QuigleyMcShine]

I wonder why that one and not the original Super Monkey Ball.

 

[Brazil]

That's easily a contender for worst trailer of the year. Wow.

Cool logo, though.

 

[GJ]

This is an odd choice, but probably the easiest one to port over. Let's hope they remake Monkey Ball 1 + 2 after this.

 

[Deleted member 11214]

This is an Old Sega move.

Would much prefer to pay, like, $100 for an untouched original SMB.

 

[Mullet2000]

Absolutely bizarre choice.

 

[Moltres006]

And then when this flops, they'll be like "well, I guess no one wanted SMB"

 

[miscellaneous houseplant]

Why

Why in God's name would you port Banana Blitz over 1 & 2

 

[G_Shumi]

This is the most literal sense of a monkey's paw wish. Still good to see the series somewhat relevant on current-gen consoles though.

 

[Hucast]

Fuck this game

 

[Stairouais]

Is this a Capcom-like test?

 

[jon bones]

so close, so far away

 

[Deleted member 3017]

That trailer.... why

 

[ElFly]

IIRC the monkey target game here is completely gutted.

 

[Lant_War]

I'll hatebuy this.

Nah, Capcom keeps their contempt limited to one platform. Sega is doing everyone dirty with this release.

The real kicker being that it's still the best minigame of the lot, which should indicate to anyone that hasn't played the game that it's a rather poor party game.

It is a HORRIBLE trailer.

 

[Linde]

it better have gyro

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

I just want Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 for fucks sake.

 

[PMS341]

Why would they do this

IIRC the monkey target game here is completely gutted.

Click to shrink...

Fucking hell.

 

[Bioshocker]

Oh, OK? No gameplay. I'm not a fan of the post-Gamecube style of Super Monkey Ball. But I'll get this no matter what.

 

[Grapezard]

Super Monkey's Paw

 

[swift-darius]

wow that trailer


bring back 1 & 2 or deluxe you cowards

 

[Deleted member 873]

Party.

 

[Septimus]

We got Super Monkey Pawed.

 

[NoKisum]

Probably because the leak got away from Sega and they felt they had to put out something right away.

 

[Deleted member 864]

....Meh.

Give me 1 and 2.

 

[9-Volt]

Price it well and I'm there day one. It was a fun game but nowhere near hardcore as the first two games.

 

[MasterYoshi]

Could have remade 1 or 2 and had so much more interest and support. :(

 

[AtomicShroom]

Uh... this has got to be the worst, most boring teaser/trailer I've ever seen for a game. It also serves to encapsulate most of what is wrong with many videogame cutscenes having terrible pacing and editing. Yikes.

 

[Pancracio17]

That was an astonishingly bad trailer

 

[pswii60]

Should be a collection, of 1/2/BB at least. Will probably still end up getting it though because I'm such a sucker for these kinds of games ever since playing Trailblazer on C64 when I was like 8 years old!

 

[Tizoc]

Well on the plus side, I can save up for it for its winter pc release.

 

[Zutrax]

I love Monkey Ball so much, it was peak Gamecube and arcade gaming for me. Such a nostalgic franchise, one of my favorites from that generation of gaming. Banana Blitz was a good game, but I was super torn on the motion controls, remove those and I think this can be just as good. I am very excited to support this and I desperately hope this means we get more in the future.

Lol

 

[FantaSoda]

Just give us SMB1 or 2 you jerks

 

[MrHealthy]

For a second I thought it said Banana Splitz which is the vita game. I was really excited because that game is actually great. I want more people to play Splitz but it will never happen.

 

[N75]

I thought people were exaggerating about that trailer. Literally showed nothing lol.

The official site is barebones too. I wonder if there's some sort of Famitsu embargo or it's just a straight up re-release.

 

[Deleted member 51691]

What the hell was that trailer?

 

[kaishek]

Wow thanks for catching me up on the lore Sega

 

[kadotsu]

They could have put the XBOX version for Deluxe on BC and it would have been a better product with less effort.

 

[Huey]

I feel like I've been trolled after that trailer

Yeah that one was great. Only flaws were the forced touch in the menu and some of the mini games but otherwise it was a competent game thst was great.

 

[sweetmini]

That was a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad trailer, no shame for the PR team.
It shows that it's summer, the validation management must be on vacations.
I guess the leak got them to cook up something quick, i don't see anything else...
