Yep, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe will be rolling onto XBOX and PS2 pretty soon. A package that conatins SMB 1 and 2, plus with over 60 extra floors.
The 'why' is a mystery, because Sega fetched in cash-a-plenty from the SMB games and were very surprised to see it had developed such a large fanbase.
Does anyone know why Sega are releasing this on XBOX/PS2?
Good point though Edgy. Supposeit would be a good way to see if SMB3 will go multi-format. 'Tis a shame though that 'Cube looses out on yet another 'exculsive' series.
Its the same with Viewtiful Joe and Bomberman going onto the PS etc...
These cartoon games never did sell too well did they...
Sega are releasing them on other formats as a test to see whether Super Monkey Ball 3 will be worth developing multi-format. The other reason? Because they will probably generate a nice sum of money for themselves. They wont be near as popular as they were on the GameCube, mainly because at the time, Super Monkey Ball was a system seller, so those who were going to get it, most probably have already. However, those who can't afford multiple systems will now have a chance to get it.
As long as Super Monkey Ball 3 is still released on GameCube in the future, I'm not too concerned.
And this is old news :P
I know people of all ages can enjoy SMB, but many people would dis it off as a childs game.
Dear me Sega, dear me...
