The 21 Hardest Nintendo games ever (Feature)

Mar 10, 2008

From the stinging paper cuts delivered by their early Hanafuda cards, to their dual screen screammaker Contra 4, Nintendo have been responsible for a downpour of tricky titles to douse even the most resilient gamer's spirit. Join us as we descend Jacob's ladder through the circles of hell, into the belly of the Game Over beast. ...

Box Art F'ups: Readers Revenge (Feature)

Feb 18, 2008

We made a half-assed attempt to disguise our last edition of box art buffonery as some kind of factory error. You called our bullshit, submitted your own, and turned an office full of staunch and humorless integre-nerds into braying gigglepusses. Nice work. If any of you still have any creative spark left send it to boxart@gameradar.com or post it in our forums. ...

Minigame Island (Feature)

Jul 20, 2007

From throwaway ideas tacked onto games that aren't much to begin with, to genuine labors of love - gifts from the developers to you - the world of the bonus minigame is wide, varied and rarely more than a couple of minutes long. Here're a bunch of our favorites. Mario vs. Luigi in New Super Mario Bros An insanely intense two-player battle that turns the classic Mario platforming action into a feat of endurance. The aim is to be first to collect up to 10 stars, but if the players decide to ...

Real monkey plays Monkey Ball! (News)

Jan 4, 2007

Thursday 4 January 2007 As far as publicity stunts go, this is probably the most literal we can think of: get a monkey to play a game about monkeys. Look! He's even wearing a promotional T-shirt. It's not clear if this is supposed to prove that Wii games are so accessible even animals can play them or that the Wii-mote is monkey compatible, but what we do know is this little fella was shipped into London's Wii house (used to demo games to the media) for a photoshoot, ...

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Review)

Nov 21, 2006

Six years ago, the GameCube launched with the very first Super Monkey Ball. Since then, we've seen the glass-encased primates weave their way through countless floating mazes, only to show up in yet another game with similar puzzles to solve. Now there's Banana Blitz. With so many monkey options out there (spanning nearly every platform you can think of), what makes this one worth checking out? Actual new content. Up until now - with the heartbreakingly noteworthy exception of the failed ...

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Preview)

Nov 15, 2006

Wednesday 15 November 2006 Wii has party games down to a fine art and the damn thing's not even out yet. Between Rayman, Wii Sports and Banana Blitz, your choices for loud, obnoxious shouting matches and 'accidental' throwing of the controller are plentiful. We recently had the chance to sit four editors down with a copy of Banana Blitz and its 50 multiplayer minigames. The results were exactly what you'd want out of a Wii party game - tons of flailing arms and no shortage of questionable ...

The Wii has party games down to a science and the damn thing's not even out yet. Between Rayman, Wii Sports and Banana Blitz, your choices for loud, obnoxious shouting matches and "accidental" throwing of the controller are plentiful.

Super Monkey Ball in motion (News)

Oct 31, 2006

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz is looking like a simian-shaped lump of fun in this new gameplay trailer for the motion-sensitive Wii game - just hit the Movies tab above to see for yourself. Concentrating more on the new Wii-mote-friendly minigames, the trailer shows little of the traditional Monkey Ball puzzle-board gameplay. You will, however, be able to spot one of the newly-introduced stage bosses being attacked by a jumping monkey. That's right, a jumping monkey. Developer and publisher ...

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz - hands on (Preview)

Oct 16, 2006

If you've played one Monkey Ball game, you've essentially played them all. Every single one of them consists of guiding a trapped monkey through a hovering maze that's dangling above some surreal landscape. Instead of controlling the spherical monkey prison, you actually tilt the level and make the little dude roll around. Levels will narrow, twist and throw all kinds of obstacles in your way in an attempt to buck you off. And all of that can be said for Wii's Banana Blitz too. The difference ...

Banana Blitz screens blitz (News)

Sep 15, 2006

Friday 15 September 2006 If your eyes need a rest from this week's contrast of dentist's surgery-white Wii promo shots and in-your-face action titles, then this fresh tribe of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz screens should be just the ticket. SMB always seemed an obvious fit for Wii - as we found when discussing the game with creator Toshihiro Nagoshi - both in terms of controls and its breezy, pastel-coloured look. Featuring tweaks to the core world-tilting, banana-hunting gameplay, ...

Super Monkey Ball creator speaks (Feature)

Aug 16, 2006

When we played Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz at this year's E3, we were relieved to find that the roll-the-cute-little-chimp-in-a-sphere nature of the game and the motion-sensing magic of Wii was a winning combination. But as the apes escape conventional control, how has it changed the way Sega has designed the newest roll out for AiAi and his fruit-munching buddies? To find out, we wrapped a bunch of questions in a banana skin and slipped them over to the man behind the monkey balls, ...

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Feature)

Aug 16, 2006

Wednesday 16 August 2006 When we played Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz at this year's E3, we were mighty chuffed to find that the delightful roll-the-cute-little-chimp-in-a-sphere nature of the game and the motion-sensing magic of Wii was a winning combination. But as the apes escape conventional control, how has it changed the way Sega has designed the newest roll out for AiAi and his fruit-munching buddies?

A blitz of bananas and monkeys (News)

Jun 21, 2006

We've rustled up a barrage of screens for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Sega's simian puzzler for Wii, with some great views of the newest addition to the ape action - the enormous end-level bosses. You'll also catch a peek of some of the party games, like Monkey Baseball. We won't waste time distracting you with words, so point your peepers down and have a peek at this collection of new screenshots. June 21, ...

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz hands-on (Preview)

Jun 20, 2006

Friday 12 May 2006 Following our earlier hands-on report with Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz's fantastic minigames, this time we went back to take on the main ball-rolling game to see how the Wii remote coped with it. As you may recall in Super Monkey Ball you don't actually control the balled monkeys. Instead you get to tilt the ground beneath them in order to get them to roll through the level. It is this ground titling control that has been mapped on to Wii's motion sensitive ...

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz hands-on (Preview)

Jun 19, 2006

Wednesday 10 May 2006 One of the Wii games that's been attracting a lot of attention from the E3 attendees is Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, but not for the main platform-tilting puzzle game. Instead it's the superb minigames that people have been trying to get their hands on. We managed to do just that and discovered several ways in which the Wii-mote can be used: Drumming Keep the beat by using the nunchaku and remote as virtual drumsticks to drum out a rhythm. Darts Hold down the A ...

Monkey Ball rolling again (News)

Apr 26, 2006

Sega has announced that it is currently working on Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz for Nintendo's next-gen console, Revolution, promising primate-in-a-sphere fun designed especially for the machine's wizzy-wand controller. The usual blend of puzzle-based banana collection and amusing party diversions will return, although the motion-sensing capabilities of Revolution's controller should ensure that Banana Blitz will feel quite unlike previous Monkey Ball games, like the one ...
