A chimp in your hand! A monkey in your palm! An ape in your pocket! Super Monkey Ball GBA screenshots ahoy!
Can you imagine? All the wonder of the GameCube Sega classic, Super Monkey Ball, but in the palm of your hand? Play it on the bus, on the train, or while you're driving! Incredible as it may seem, they've only gone and done the impossible - Nintendo and Sega have managed to cram their primate puzzle game into a tiny Game Boy Advance cart, and it looks brilliant.

The idea of the game is to manouevre your ball-entrapped ape to the end of the level by tilting his surroundings - not as easy as it sounds. We reckon this game was screaming out for the Tilt 'N' Tumble system that a prototype Kirby GBA game was going to use - tilting the GBA itself resulted in relevant movements in the game, so the complete 'shaky mentalist' image would be projected. Never mind, we're sure it'll be as ace as the Cube version.

Maybe it will be easier to control, but if not then we are all screwed to the pits of hell.
