There was a leak before Banana Blitz HD was announced that a new game might be getting developed alongside the Banana Blitz remake, and they are a credible source (New_WabiSabi on Twitter) So I'm holding out until that possible announcement.

I'd prefer an HD remaster of Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, since that's basically all the content from 1 and 2, plus original content as well. I really hope that Sega does take all reception of Banana Blitz to heart, but doesn't pull a Onimusha HD and end up inexplicably removing content from a potential HD remaster of 1 and 2 just because people said "1 and 2" and not "Deluxe". To have the original levels from Deluxe on the cutting room floor, so to speak, would be disappointing.

Eh, would rather them make a new game. Those games really dont need remakes, just port deluxe and it would be fine, no need to put more effort into remaking a already perfect game when less effort of just putting a remastered version of deluxe would sell pretty much the same.

This has got to be one of Gamexplain's best negative reviews I've ever seen. It takes a good analytical look at why the game didn't work back then and why the remake failed to improve it and it hits a perfect balance of positive and negative points to the point I was shocked at Jon's review score just because he sounded a lot more positive than the score he gave for it, but at the same time, the review was so well spoken, the score makes perfect sense. Well done, Jon.

I felt like this review was unfairly reviewed here. The game is well made and had decent care put into it. But the review seems to just focus on the fact that it's not the same as SMB1 or SMB2. It's very unfair in my opinion as it's still a good game on it's own.
@dnmstarsi
@dnmstarsi 5 жыл бұрын
I kinda agree. While Jon has his points, there's only so much one can do in terms of comparison. Yes, those games are good and set the bar or what SMB should be like but sometimes you have to judge them on its own merit much like how I judge the Pokemon games on their own merit despite past games. Banana Blitz has its problems but as it is, it's nothing great but not as bad as Jon said although it is his opinion and I respect it. I may not be a fan of this series but I want it to come back for the fans and Banana Blitz is a flawed but decent start. I just hope people will take this review for what it is: a fan's opinion but an informative one should you have some doubt.

Sure but there's a difference between it not being quite the same as the originals, and it being just a boring version of the originals.

The only game I can see this making sense with is Banana Splitz, which didn't even get a chance to do well considering the massive underperformance of the PS Vita (and I think stick controls could improve that game massively, seeing how it has more traditional-style levels)... but, seeing how that was by an external studio, that's probably why Splitz probably won't be seen outside of the Vita I was pretty unimpressed with this game... not the worst thing ever and it's okay to play, but definetley far from a Super Monkey Ball game that can truly stand toe-to-toe with the originals

deluxe is just a rushed port of 1&2 plus some new levels (most of which aren't very good) there isn't anything inherently wrong with deluxe but there are a lot of oddities if you look closely at it. given that this port didn't fix or change anything its hard to see the dev team fixing the weirdness of deluxe other than maybe fixing the humongous deadzone

Rmac524 I see. I have deluxe but haven’t played much of it as I have 1 & 2 and played though them. I just thought the idea of a remaster including all the levels of 1 & 2 (and some bonus levels) vs possibly getting 1 & 2 as separate remasters sounded like a better deal. Personally I would just prefer a new entry.
@renaterrier935
@renaterrier935 5 жыл бұрын
Deluxe removed the ball rolling sound effect, changed the space music, and has less precision in movement because the Xbox and PS2 control sticks are inferior to the GC stick. Not many of the Deluxe exclusive levels are particularly interesting. So there are plenty of reasons to prefer 1 and 2 to Deluxe.

I'm surprised they didn't take this opportunity to remaster/port Banana Splitz, instead. So few people have a Vita, and even fewer of those are Monkey Ball fans, so that game went under the radar way too much, especially considering it was perhaps my favorite Monkey Ball game outside of Deluxe. It has the same kind of art style as Banana Blitz, but the levels are tricky even without motion controls. It was a really great game. So if this port was about visibility where there was none, I feel like that Vita game would have been the better one to port over. I'm still grateful for this game, though. I hope it does well and Sega ponders either porting over Banana Splitz or Deluxe over, or even better, makes an entirely new game in the franchise (hopefully with the philosophy of Deluxe as opposed to Banana Blitz).

I have to be the only person in this comments section to have really enjoyed this game alongside even the originals.

My biggest gripe though is how they cut minigames, because I used to play them all with my sister and even if some of them didn’t include ball mechanics, they were still fun party games for messing around in.

You know what. This game is decent to me. I'm completely new to the series so I'm aware I can't compare it to 1 and 2 but maybe that's allowing me to see it for what it is not what I wish it'd be. Fundamentally it's a fun game. Sure, it's pretty easy up until world 7 but after that there's a few decent challenges to keep things interesting and the time trials are a nice way to compete with others. My one major gripe is the boss battles. They absolutely suck and remove everything good about this game. All are super clunky and most are so simple to be tedious EXCEPT world 8 which is the jankiest boss I've ever faced in any game ever. Saying all that I'd recommend it overall. It's not a bad game at all. Maybe older monkey ball fans will be left unsatisfied buy newer players I think will mostly enjoy it.

Jordan Payton it feels like at times you're moving the stage instead of the monkey ball: for example, for some paths, you don't feel like you're firmly on the platform or rail and you're trying to fight for stability (some stages in world 5 and 6 are good examples of that) Much of the mini games that required motion controls were removed because of they wanted to give players a smoother experience in controlling the ball, ad the fact that the mini games really sucked anyway.

I get that Banana Blitz isn’t the most popular in the series, but I still had a pretty good time with it. I liked that the game was less gimmick focused than 2, which had some stages that were just awful (Anthropod, Launcher, Labyrinth, etc). The jump button was a weird concept for Monkey Ball, but I found that spamming it made it way too easy to fall off the stage. If I were ranking the games I’ve played in the series, I’d probably give this a 7/10, with Super Monkey Ball 2 getting an 8/10.

When HD was announced and i noticed that banana blitz was the one i grew up with after a quick research i just couldn't hold my hype. I completely understand that people hate banana blitz for being the "worst" game in the series but the nostalgia, the music which is a banger and the simple level design just can't make me change my mind.

I never played these games because I always had a feeling from looking at them that moving a ball around by tilting the stage like a marble was not for me, as I prefer action games and RPGs. I bought this game because my girlfriend played this game on her Wii and wanted to experience it again, ans overall I found it much more enjoyable than I thought I would. Jon is coming at this as a seasoned player of the series, but I wanted to make it known for anyone just jumping in that at least for me, this game is really hard. There are a lot of conveniences for newbies like myself like the guard rails and jumping, but even with that stuff present I find this game to be extremely challenging. The biggest problem I have with this game is the Bosses. They are cheap as hell and only serve to test your patience in the worst ways. Every one of them is extremely frustrating. I also wish that you could control the camera, as some jumps the game wants you to make would really benefit from being able to look around. Oh. And go turn the Voice Clips way down. You'll thank me later. Other than that I find this game to be pretty great honestly. I could see myself putting this on while chilling and listening to Podcasts or something for a while. It's a pretty good time imo

It has its faults, but I adore the original Banana Blitz. Had a blast with it. But despite me being kind of curious to see for myself how it would play out without motion controls, I'm honestly not too keen on buying it again. Replacing the soundtrack is icing on the cake.

I've never play BB before and I'm really enjoying it so far. It's not up there with 1 and 2, but I'm still having way too much fun to care too much..... except for the boss battles. I'm 6 worlds in and the only good one so far was a dinosaur style one, which felt more like how a boss in monkey ball should work. The others range from boring to infuriating. Annoyingly some of them, like the bloody Yeti, completely ruin my gold medal runs because of how stupid they are. Still, it's Monkey Ball and it's great. I do wish it had multiplayer for the main game and perhaps a challenge mode which reskins the main levels, mixes them up, and removes the bosses (like in SMB2), but I still like it and glad I bought it.

It’s on a 30 GBP game it’s half the price of some the highest quality switch games like Super Smash Bros it’s good that it’s easier to control because twisting and waving a Wii remote was fucking crazy in the original

I disagree. Yes it is physics based, however adding a jump button doesn't contradict that premise or concept at all. If anything it adds to the challenge.
