Portable Gaming Revolution

Today Sega announced that its acclaimed Super Monkey Ball series will be coming to the PSP (as well as Gamecube and PS2) in the form of Super Monkey Ball Adventures according to Gamespot. The game is being developed by Traveller’s Tales (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe) and will be available in Q3 2006.

The main monkeys–Aiai, Meemee, Gongon, and Baby–will now ape around five Monkey Ball kingdoms to help a prince and princess peacefully reunite their world. The gang will have new abilities, including the power to stick to walls, hover, and turn invisible.

When saving kingdoms seems a bit too much, gamers can relax with six minigames, three of which are brand new. The PSP version will feature Wi-Fi multiplayer and an exclusive card-trading game.

This is one of those series that has a hardcode fanbase so I know there are a lot of people pleased by this announcement. The screenshots look great and I hope the game is as much fun as its predecessors.
