Yeah! One of my favourite SEGA franchises and some of my favourite Internet personalities! James talks about how they played Super Monkey Ball in college and man... that makes him mah bro. Super Monkey Ball is one of my most played GameCube games and I always played in short bursts during breaks from studying as well.

Super Monkey Ball 3D on eShop
So this is on the eShop now and it was a launch title. Had its own instruction manual and everything. Anyway it's a good game and it was pretty much the only 3DS launch title that wasn't horrible.
At this stage you might be able to find a physical copy of the game at a decent price. Have a look.

Completed Super Monkey Ball 3D!
I put this game off for a long while but I beat it! All 10 worlds :) It's not too difficult but it can be tough playing it on a bus. It is a nice bit of fun though!
I don't care what any reviewer says, this is one of the best 3DS cartridge games currently available!

Super Monkey Ball Step and Roll is really hard
Wow this game is hard with the balance board! I played world 5 the other day and it took every ounce of my concentration and focus and discipline to complete. Got many many game overs but I won!
There was this stage that had a series of half pipes you had to roll up. It was agonising trying to do it and there's the tendency to just roll out of it altogether so it's really hard to get a grip and control it.

Ocarina of Time 3D is out tomorrow in Ireland
If I buy this tomorrow or over the weekend I'm going to do a little shopping around as I'd be buying the 3DS with it. I'll also need to shop around for prices on Super Monkey Ball 3D - especially if there are bundle deals.
I'll report my findings here; this should be a good bit of fun!

Super Monkey Ball 3D's AMAZING music (part 2)
Last time I already talked about how much I liked the world 5's Mystical Ninja-esque music and my joy at the return of the bonus music from Banana Blitz but now I just wanna mention how much I like World 8's music!
Have a listen:

I don't know why but this music reminds me a lot of Mint Royale. Well, at least I could describe it in a similar way to their stuff. It's kind of a background music you might hear in a supermarket or a random montage without knowing anything about it but it has a gentle happy summery feel to it.

One thing I didn't notice about Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz until now
If you play as GonGon you can destroy those annoying bumper things in the main levels. That was a really handy discovery! I must keep it in mind from now on when I play.

Super Monkey Ball 3D has some AMAZING music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f9KnlIso0I
The footage here shows the player going through world 5. Listen to the music! It's really nice, almost remnant of something you'd hear from a Mystical Ninja game. I could make a more suitable reference but it's all I can think of right now.
Not only that, but about 4 minutes in you get the bonus stage music which is the same as the brilliant bonus theme from Banana Blitz!!

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.

Super Monkey Ball 3DS Bundle sold out at one retailer
Some online retailer has sold out of the 3DS bundle that comes with Super Monkey Ball 3D. They have plenty of the other 3DS bundles. I'm just using this post to go on again about how people are just naturally drawn to Super Monkey Ball! Haha!

Super Monkey Ball 3D!
Anytime a Super Monkey Ball game comes out I always have an insatiable urge to play it. It's one of those franchises that have loads of different versions on loads of different formats that people take for granted - like Puzzle Bobble or Tetris. Among them, Super Monkey Ball would be the only one I always get excited about for some odd reason and it's become some kind of tradition to have one come out when a new Nintendo system comes out.
Mind you, I got my Gamecube and its original Super Monkey Ball when they launched and from the looks of things it's going to be cheaper than the price of a 3DS and Super Monkey Ball 3D...
So far they don't have brand new gameplay footage since the event yesterday, just a trailer. I'm looking forward to seeing what this game is going to be like with the analogue stick. Honestly if I had a chance to be at that event I would push the Ocarina of Time remake and Kid Icarus Uprising out of the way and demand to play Monkey Ball 3D instead. So far it's the only game on the format I have even the slightest itch to play.
Grrrr! Make me want a 3DS Nintendo!
