The popular Super Monkey Ball Adventure has now "swung down from the trees and gone totally bonkers - " and starting tomorrow, Friday, June 30, will be available for the PSP platform for the first time.

In SMBA, the five Monkey Kingdom of Jungle Island, Zootopia, Kongri-La, Moonhaven and Monkitropolis have started turning on one another. To complicate matters, Princess DeeDEE of Monkitroplis and Prince Abe-abe of Kongri-La have fallen in love. They seek asylum on Aiai's home of Jungle Island, begging him to help end the five-way feud and re-unite the Monkey Kingdoms. As Aiai, the player travels the five Monkey kingdoms helping the citizens, solving puzzles and taking on the infamous Naysayers.

SMBA is published by SEGA, Inc., and is also available for PS2 and the Nintendo GameCube.

Last month we revealed the boxart for the US version, and today we can bring you the boxart for the European versions. Unusually, there is quite a lot of difference between the 2. In my opinion, the US version looks a lot more appealing to the gaming eye, showing the chaos of the Super Monkey Ball world in the background. The European versions is a bit more subtle, featuring just the Monkey on its own.

Why do they need different boxart for different regions? Sure, there are differences in the rating system, PEGI for Europe and ERSB for the US; but surely there's no need to make the boxart different. It may be that Sega think the European audience would prefer the one on the left, but I'm from the UK (Which the geographers amongst you will know is in Europe), and I prefer the US version because It stands out a lot more. If I was walking into an electronics store, and saw the European version I wouldn't give it a second glance.

You've probably read the announcement and seen the screenshots, then more screenshots with an interview as a sidedish. Heck, you've even possibly looked at the upcoming box art. Super Monkey Ball Adventure is one of the games where you can enjoy playing alone or with a bunch of people. Coming to the PSP and having a lot of new ablities like hovering, sticking to walls and even becoming invisible, Monkey Ball has 50 new puzzle levels and six new party games. Check out the gameplay trailer especially if you can't get enough of Monkey Ball.

Today we bring you the box art of Super Monkey Ball Adventure for the PSP. SMB Adventure is an adventure-style game, giving your money's balls some extra powers to help him or her beat the bad guys and finish the levels. The game is still as wild and crazy as the previous titles but with a new twist.

These balls are unlike any balls we've seen before and should prove to offer up a lot of fun. The levels will still offer the same frustrating cliffs and ledges to fall off of, but fret not, practice makes perfect.

With 50 new levels to play, SMB Adventure will be another fan favorite and with the new twist it should be fun for those players looking for something more to do with their balls.

Super Monkey Ball Adventures takes the addicting genre and gives it a new twist. The game will allow players to take their monkey's balls and play with them in a new and interesting way. This new adventure game will let players have their balls stick to walls (like that's anything new), hover, and become invisible. Super Monkey Ball Adventures will surely be a hit to newcomers and fans alike. It's a genre that never seems to grow old, just like yours truly, and will bring back all of those frustrating nights that all fans agonized over in the past. This new title comes packed with 50 exciting levels and we're here to show you 6 brand (monkey) spanking new pictures.

 

SEGA is adding yet another title to their fabled series with the creation of Super Monkey Ball Adventures for the PSP. After seeing how much of a success Touch and Roll was on the DS, it only made sense that they would be interested in bringing the Monkey Ball series over to the other popular handheld.


Super Monkey Ball Adventure is going to improve on its predecessors by incorporating a bunch of new abilities. Now, gamers will be able to hover, stick to walls, and even become invisible! Favorites such as Gongon, Baby, Meemee, and Aiai will make their way through the five Monkey Ball Kingdoms to complete 50 new puzzles and even a few party games. In the end, they must unite the Monkey Kingdoms before the Monkey Ball world falls into a state of dismay. Like always, this rendition in the Monkey Ball series will deliver a humorous storyline with a game that is simply enjoyable for gamers of all ages upon its release later this year.
