Though an informal poll of the GamesRadar editorial staff recently determined that half of us hate monkeys, you can rest assured that nobody can resist the charms of Super Monkey Ball. Super Monkey Ball Adventure does exactly what it says: takes the ball-rolling wackiness of the original series and sticks it in a fully-realized world for the monkeys to explore. These new screenshots showcase that world, as well as the colorful characters you'll meet. They even show off some of the minigames - ...

E3 06: Super Monkey Ball Adventure hands-on

GC News | Super Monkey Ball Adventure

Did anyone ever actually sit back during a game of Super Monkey Ball and wonder what those entombed monkeys did in their spare time? Didn't think so. Looks like we're gonna find out anyway, as Adventure breaks them free from their floating puzzle trays and sets them loose in a full 3D quest to save monkey kind. Right. Main monkey AiAi is still trapped inside the same globular prison as always, but instead of directing him to a well-defined goal, you'll lead him through vast, open-ended worlds ...

Super Paper Mario officially on Wii

GC News | Super Paper Mario

Good news and bad news from the Mushroom Kingdom. On the fantastic side, we've got final confirmation on the platform-spanning, Super Paper Mario. What was once touted as a GameCube exclusive is now officially Wii bound, giving Mario fans tired of reliving old adventures much to rejoice about. Huzzah indeed. But it's not all sunshine. The email we received was in the form of a wedding invitation announcing the unholy union of none other then Peach and - gasp - Bowser. Say it ain't so, ...

GC News | Super Paper Mario

To Wii or not to Wii? That is the nagging, fan-angering question provoked by Nintendo's dithering back and forth as to just how we'll be playing Super Paper Mario. One second it's a GameCube exclusive, the next it might be on the Wii as well, and now there's speculation that it's a Wii exclusive. Nintendo doesn't seem to know what's going on; leading us to make plans to hijack the next Ask Iwata session to squeeze answers from the head honchos. Just how much uncertainty has Nintendo's waffling ...

GC - Super Paper Mario - Super Paper Mario Skipping GameCube for Wii?

The trailer was beautiful, but it always seemed suspicious that Super Paper Mario was set for release on a "lesser" console right around the time that Wii is expected to launch. Now comes word that there will be no GameCube release for SPM, and that the title will jump directly to Wii.

Already described by our very own, highly excitable Matt Cundy as "even more papery than ever before," Nintendo is promising that the game will once again dance between the dimensions, feature eight separate worlds and allow you to take control of both ...
