SEGA has announced that Super Monkey Ball is coming to the PlayStation Vita in early 2012. The latest entry in the long-running monkey-rolling series will make use of the PlayStation Vita’s dual analogue sticks and front/back touch controls.
Super Monkey Ball on Vita will include all-new worlds, original mini-games and updated graphics. Four-player multiplayer will also be included, along with revamped classic mini-games such as Monkey Target.
“Since evolving onto the current generation of consoles, the Super Monkey Ball franchise has always offered innovative game design, challenging the hardware capabilities for all the consoles it has released on” said Gary Knight, senior vice president of marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA of America. “Super Monkey Ball on PlayStation Vita is a great opportunity to experience the exciting features that the PlayStation Vita offers, and the SEGA development team are bringing an exciting new experience whilst staying true to the franchise.”
Super Monkey Ball for PlayStation Vita is due for release in early 2012.
Monkey Ball had to appear for Vita at some point. While the series hasn’t been on top form recently, a competent Monkey Ball experience could be well worth picking up for Vita if it’s a launch title in Europe.
