Sega has announced the release date for their Super Monkey Ball outing on Vita. It will hit shops, both digital and traditional, across Europe on the 26th of October 2012.
The game will feature over 100 stages, 8 mini games including Monkey Target and Monkey Bingo, and plenty of Vita-specific gimmickry. Tilt control is the most natural addition, allowing you to navigate levels by tipping your Vita around. There will also be the option to use the Vita’s cameras to snap objects and create new puzzles to share from the familiar scenes around you.
Online leaderboards, narrowed using the Vita’s GPS, will also feature.

Gotta love SMB!
Vita does seem the perfect platform for it.

I love the monkey ball games. I hope they include monkey pool. Loved that mini game :)

It’s nice that the leaderboards will be narrowed, they were ever so wide before .. :)
Seriously though,i can’t abide tilt-controls on handhelds – wouldn’t be so bad if the screen didn’t have to tilt aswell – but hopefully there’ll be the standard stick/button options too.

I thought that handhelds are the ONLY place where tilt controls work, specifically because the screen moves too.
I’ve noticed I fall off the logs a lot less in Golden Abyss than I do in any similar game on PS3.
But to each their own, I suppose.
TSBonyman
Ah, but in Golden Abyss it’s just side to side tilting, which i’m ok with – but this game will also involve tilting forwards and backwards to speed up/slow down, i’m presuming.

Also just want to add..flow and Flower are great examples of non-handheld tilt-to-control games! :)
