AiAi and friends come to the modern consoles in this all-action extravaganza of unique puzzles and madcap multiplayer gameplay.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD revitalizes this classic title with updated graphics (480p > 1080p at 60fps) and optimized controls for each platform. Motion controls from the original Banana Blitz have been removed in favor of tightened analog controls, making it a breeze to jump in and start rolling through the game's 100 levels.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD also includes a brand-new mini-game Decathalon mode where you complete a set of 10 mini-games in a row, and online leaderboards, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD is perfect for new fans of any age, as well as the most seasoned Monkey Ball series veterans.

Early adopters can pick up the game for 20% off through December 17. Pre-orders are live on the game's Steam Store page now.
