Big Super Monkey Ball 3D video feature on Gamespot

(To see this video, go to Gamespot's "Today on the Spot" page and look for the video dated Saturday, February 19th, 2011. Super Monkey Ball 3D is featured about 3m15s in)

This game is looking more and more promising and this feature is hugely informative! There's a representative from SEGA here talking about the features in the game. Here's a list of stuff I learned from the feature that I like a lot:

- NO LOAD TIMES!
- The game can be controlled with either the circle pad or by tilting the 3DS itself.
- 80 levels (8 worlds at 10 stages each) in the main game.
- Although I can't make out what the 3D effect is like yet, the game looks just as appealing as the Wii Super Monkey Ball games without it.
- In the 1-4 multiplayer games you can choose one out of 16 different monkey characters.
- You can play multiplayer with other 3DS owners who don't have the game.
- Monkey Race, the first of the two other modes is a kart racer.
- You have a choice out of 16 different Karts.
- There seem to be 3 cups in Grand Prix mode. They probably have several tracks each.
- Some tracks have ramps and multiple paths.
- You can use a disco ball item that makes other players slow down and spin.
- A star-like item that turns you giant and allows you to plow through your rivals.
- Monkey Fight, the second of the two other modes is just like Smash Bros!
- I see 3 stages so far.
- The object of this game is to finish with the most bananas, a bit like the coin battle from Smash Bros.
- A golden barrel appears now and again that works just like the smash ball from Smash Bros Brawl.

I must admit I'm warming a bit more to the 3DS now.
