Posted October 24, 2006 Extract from preview: Hardcore Monkey Ball fans might be wandering why on earth we've not gone crazy over Monkey Target already. Sorry guys, Sega has changed it. For those who aren't familiar, it's a classic that has you rolling down a giant ramp to pick up speed and launch into the air, then open your monkey ball to fly to an land on a small target for points. It was ROCK hard, but so annoyingly doable that you just couldn't put it down. But in Banana Blitz, it's just not the same game we know and love. To start with, kiss goodbye to the ramp - that's gone. Instead you're shot from a cannon, abolishing the various ramp techniques adopted by different players. There also only seemed to be one level, so there are no varying targets to aim for. And even the physics have changed, with eased gravity making it floaty. We were massively disappointed SOURCE: http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=148080 Hopefully not all mini games will be made worse like this one...

That's a real shame....Still, if you really want to play Monkey Target, you can go to the originals. I think they should have kept the same sort of Monkey Target idea though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 27, 2006 How are you actually supposed to play darts, just do a stabbing motion towards the screen or do you have to actually throw the Wii Mote and possibly smash it into your television screen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 27, 2006 Seing as i've never played Monkey Ball before i won't be dissapointed by the Monkey Target thingy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2006 The change to Monkey Target does sound disappointing. I think for most people it was the thing they liked most about the game. It was awful in Monkey Ball Adventure tho.... They'll prob be some new minigame in there that will become the new 'champ' tho.... after all there's about 50-odd games in there!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2006 Lots of new screens. :shock: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6, 2006 I never liked target anyway, bowling and monkey fight all the way for me. Though ive heard nothing about monkey fight in this version This is 100% coming my way on launch day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 I'm really disappointed with the altering of target, it was the BEST party game on there which had the most replay value, bowling, billards, race, fight and golf they're all great fun and i'm glad they're there but still, Target was just ace. Its a shame it won't be in this game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2006 That boxarft is the best ever. This will be the best party game for Wii, at least for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2006 Is the lack of Nintendo on the Wii boxes worrying anyone? Or, is this a clever marketting ploy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2006 Clever Marketing Ploy So, how do you control this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2006 Monkey target will be a future downloadable at extra cost no doubt. Or maybe this is so we buy the sequal to banana blitz. You dont miss out your best mini game for no reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2006 hmmm shame to hear about monkey target not being as good.... i wasn't going to get this at launch anyway i didnt think and this has somewhat put me off as new monkey target was one of my main reason, cube monkey target is still a cult uni favourite.
