Back in the day, we gave the Wii version a crushing 4/10 score and said ‘if the controls were good then you could double the score’. Little did we know that over a decade later, our words would ring (almost) true. With more usable controls you can finally enjoy this batch of 100 levels for what they are, but the wider game is let down by weird leaderboard decisions and those lacklustre mini-games. The best monkey-in-a-ball game since Super Monkey Ball 2, sure, but not quite a return to the series heyday.
SEGA is currently hosting a new sale on the Switch eShop. There are a number of SEGA Ages titles included, many of which are at their lowest price yet. Sonic Mania, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, and other games are also a part of the sale.
GF365: "Sega’s beloved monkey AiAi and his series of Super Monkey Ball games celebrate their 20th anniversary this month. We look back on the history of the franchise."
GD365: "Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be over, but we still have some good game deals that you’ll want to check out, including Nioh 2 for just $9.99!"
