Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA


The Super Monkey Ball franchise naturally yields many questions. For instance: why are these monkeys locked in see-through balls? Why do they roll around at hundreds of miles per hour? Why do they live in hellscapes made up of floating physics-based obstacle courses? And perhaps most importantly, why would SEGA decide to remaster Banana Blitz, one of the series’ less popular entries, instead of the much more beloved titles on GameCube? Yet SEGA has indeed brought Banana Blitz back onto modern platforms with this new HD re-release after its first appearance more than a decade ago on the Wii. So now that everyone’s favorite primate-rolling franchise has finally debuted on current-gen hardware, the most pertinent question remains to be answered: does this new edition address the issues that plagued Banana Blitz’ first release, or does it merely monkey around?

A great honor for Shigeru Miyamoto: the legendary developer and creator of Mario, The Legend of Zelda and many other franchises and characters, is to be recognized in Japan as a Person of Cultural Merit. This is an official, government-sanctioned honor and recognition which is awarded annually to people who have made outstanding cultural contributions. Previously, many actors, scientists and authors have been awarded that honor, but Miyamoto is the very first video game developer to receive it. Miyamoto said the following: “I’m thankful that light is being shined upon the genre of games.” He also thanked his co-workers: “This is a job where you can’t do anything by yourself.”
