SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (April 26, 2006) - SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced Super Monkey Ball™: Banana Blitz developed by SEGA Studios for the Nintendo Revolution system. AiAi and all his friends have rolled their way onto Nintendo's new console with new mind-blowing puzzle levels and a wealth of new and exciting Party Games specifically designed to fully exploit the innovative Nintendo Revolution controller. Other titles will have a difficult time matching the multitude of possible variations in game control as presented in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz.

Quote:

The single-player puzzle levels in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz have been innovatively designed to challenge gamers' skills like never before. For the first time in the Super Monkey Ball franchise, AiAi and his friends will have the ability to jump when players flick the Nintendo Revolution controller in an upward motion. The ability to jump has given game designers another dimension in which to expand the Super Monkey Ball gameplay experience and allows gamers a whole new way to interact with the franchise; this time in true three-dimensional fashion.

The Party Games, for which the Super Monkey Ball franchise is famous, return with more variety than ever. An abundance of new Party Games have been creatively designed to take advantage of the Revolution controller in a multitude of ways. Gamers will find themselves competing in a traditional game of ring toss, or even smacking pesky moles in a game of "Whack-a-Mole." Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz's large library of Party Games is sure to inspire friendly competition anytime.

No screens or anything, wait 'till E3 a go go.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Elebits sounds like it could be extremely interesting. In fact, the mere announcement of it is already a massive step up from Konami's BRILLIANT exclusive GameCube support.



So good!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I do hope there's a yellow Wii console avaliable at launch, hur hur. This strikes me as a name Sega would choose, what with their Wondermega's.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Indeed! Now the thread title has become an epic adventure to say over and over really fast.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I dunno, I class not having to hit the pause button every two minutes in a Castlevania game to look at the map as innovation of the best kind. Lazy awesome innovation.

How ya doing, buddy?

Metal Slug Anthology

SNK's first title for Wii is Metal Slug Anthology, a compilation of classic Metal Slug projects. Best of all, these games have been enhanced to take full advantage of Wii's innovative free-hand style controller, which translates gestures made by players into on-screen movement.

Quote:

Metal Slug Anthology will feature such classics as Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 5. SNK has not yet confirmed if Metal Slug 6 will be on the compilation, but that is a very real possibility. The publisher would only officially state: "This will be a full arcade collection including many additional surprises."

Quote:

Further specifics about the Wii version of Metal Slug Anthology will be made available at E3 2006, where the game is expected to be playable in some form. Official screenshots will be released at that time.

SNK support for a Nintendo console? Is it 1994 again?

FELIPE NO

Oh man. 'Wii Love Pilotwings' is THE game I'm hoping for at E3. THE GAME. TEN YEARS since Pilotwings 64. I want to move around the room like a hang glider, making hang glider noises, crashing on-screen hang gliders into mountains. NO OTHER WII ANNOUNCEMENTS MATTER. PILOTWINGS IS IT. >=O

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Poor Rayman. That 1980's radical awesome gnarly flashback is official. Wii launch title.
