Can anyone tell me about the prospects of this game?? It interests me.

Yeah, but as a multiplayer machine, it sucked compared to the N64.
The N64 had a giant advantage in multiplayer, the Playstation had better range of single player games (as bigger cd's allowed bigger adventures)
Sony had a chance to gain some ground by producing a multiplayer facility that was nearly as good, but refused.
Big mess up.

good point, but we all know the original Playstation only had two controller points as well...and the console outsold the four ported N64 easily.
It was a mess up on Sony's behalf.
As a result, most of it's owners won't bother with multiplayer and when the Gamecube comes out, specially marketed as a multiplayer machine, it's going to have an extra quality that the PS2 lacks.

Multitap! See that's why the PS2 is sooo SKANK! Making ppl have to fork out for stupid addons like that, when they should be built into the console like the N64, Dreamcast, and Gamecube!
So Monkey Ball is coming to the PS2 as well?
Something to buy a multitap for.

I don't know anywhere near me where there is a GameCube, theres no import game shops, or game shops for that matter
Which version will be out first though - The PS2 or GC??
Whatever console, it looks like a great game!! And one that I will probably purchase!!

Thank god for friendly import shops.
Hmm im kinda annoyed now, I didn't get too play it, I got to watch hords of acme ridden teenagers playing on it. I stood for an hour waiting for a go, but still no luck. One thing I will say though is, HOW GOOD DOES LUIGIS MANSION LOOK. I wasn't intrested in this title at first, but OH MY GOD it looks damn damn damn good. Wave Race looked preety impressive as well, didn't get too see Monkey Ball unfortunately.
Another thing the controller, it shocked me its a lot smaller than I thought it was gonna be. Didn't get to hold the frickin thing but intend on getting a go tommorow, early start me thinks.

It's been announced for the PS2, that's why I was after the info, cheers guys.

This does look like a an interesting title. In NGC they have rated it as being a 'highly anyicipated title', similarly to every other Gamecube title they have played.
But it looks really inventive and original. Instead of actually moving the monkey about like a car, you move the whole arena to tilt the monkey in the right direction, meaning it will be a lot harder than you first imagined it to be.
It's also jam-packed full of mad multiplayer options, extra challeges for you to try and the prospect of secret multiplayer options if you complete them.
It looks a real stunner, but don't forget about the rest of the line-up for Gamecube, as it would be likely that they will be better than this.
Shocky.
