Super Monkey Ball Deluxe Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the monkeys!-in-balls! dept.

Thanks to IGN for the news that a Super Monkey Ball Deluxe will be released next year on the PS2 and Xbox. "The new title will feature 300 stages (114 from Super Monkey Ball, 140 from Super Monkey Ball 2, and 46 Deluxe-exclusive boards), and will be available in spring 2005." Hi. My name is Zonk, and...I have to admit to a predilection for tossing monkeys around in plastic spheres.

    I pay twice and only get 80% of what Xbox and PS2 users get!
    I hate SEGA.

    you don't have a mouse on your pc, which is _better_ for this?

    No, it isn't. You need a analog stick. The mouse would not be precise enough, because a lot of times you need to press exactly to the right, and with the mouse you get right and a little up, which sends your monkey to oblivion.

    and really.. pc has had analog sticks available for 16+ years..

    But they are not standard to the pc user, like a mouse, or a analog stick in consoles.

    Face it. Keyboard + Mouse is not the perfect control for everything just because is better for FPSs and RTSs.
