Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD will mark the PlayStation 4 debut of this beloved arcade series, and it’s out in just under a month. Fans should be excited about the return of the franchise, but it’s something of a bittersweet revival. The Nintendo Wii title is largely considered one of the weaker games, and many fans are now calling out for remasters of the original games as well. Better yet — a totally original adventure.
It seems someone at the developer is paying attention, though. Perhaps as a response to the lukewarm reaction to Banana Blitz HD, the official Super Monkey Ball Twitter account posed a question to its followers. Essentially asking what the next game should be, the poll results speak for themselves:
Of course, this isn’t confirmation of any kind, but it at least suggests SEGA is thinking about what to do with the series in the future. Judging by this poll alone, it’s pretty clear what the fans are after — hopefully it means an all new Super Monkey Ball will emerge in the coming years.

The king of party games in my opinion
Surprised they aren't remaking Super Monkey Ball Deluxe to be honest... That was rather good and the minigames were pretty fun in it as well. Still Banana Blitz looks decent enough
I'd definitely give a new one a go though!
1 and 2 remake is a no brainer. Still both great games 17/18 years later.
On the cards or in the cards?
When I first got my Gamecube, and this game was out, I bought it not only because it was made by Sega, but also for the funny title (seriously, it is a funny title). Loved it, and ended up buying the second and even the adventure title, continued with the handheld versions and Wii versions (which I actually liked). I've been waiting for a new one, but this one will do in the mean time...at least until they make a new one that hopefully arrives on the PS5 or possibly the Switch. Can't wait for this one though, granted it will probably be a $40 title, but honestly, they're all fun titles! Only one I haven't played was the VITA version.
I wouldn't mind a new game but given the series track record, I'd prefer a remake of the originals. The Vita version was surprisingly solid though.
