[Review] Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD

System: Switch
Release date: October 29, 2019
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?

Two Point Hospital was originally planned for a 2019 release on consoles, including Switch. As the year is just about done, it’s not overly surprising that the game is seeing a delay. It’ll now be available in the first half of 2020.
In a blog post, Two Point Studios explained the the delay ultimate comes down to quality. The company explained: “making a management simulation game on three consoles (and making it the best it possibly can be on all three), is a tricky programming puzzle.”
