Strangely enough, although SEGA published this title, development was actually done by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the incredible team behind the Yakuza series (since Yakuza 5), Fist of the North Star, and the more recent Judgment. Unfortunately, the game SEGA chose to remaster was Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, a Nintendo Wii exclusive from 2006, a game which I have no nostalgia or knowledge of. I have fond memories of playing the original two games on the Nintendo Gamecube many years ago, so I was hoping they would be the chosen ones that got the remaster treatment. When I heard that Super Monkey Ball was being remastered for modern consoles, I was so happy.
