"The party games included with Super Monkey Ball Touch & Go include the classic Monkey Fight, Monkey Bowling, Monkey Race and Monkey Mini-golf, each with their own touch-screen controls. Bowling, for example, requires players to put a spin on the ball by drawing a circle on the screen to speed up the roll, and to throw the ball, they drag the stylus from the bottom of the screen to the top…and the momentum is determined on the speed of the draw. The newest game in the batch is a first person shooter mode that's extremely similar to the classic Faceball 2000 design: in this game players wander through arenas throwing pies and fruit at each other. Touch screen control here is a little wonky and unintuitive, but hopefully this can be remedied before the game ships. Three of the party games, including the first person shooter, can be played with four players only needing a single cart".

Wow, Cool Monkey Ball Mini-Games on the Go!! A FPS mini-Game...Just like the Faceball 2000, in which came out on the SNES and GB early 1990's.

"The 3D engine used for Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll is rather impressive, running at the familiar 60 frames per second rate for the ultimate in smooth animation. The trade-off: the on-screen monkey is sprite based, so he looks very detached with the realtime rendered environments due to his blocky appearance. What's not impressive is the game's music; the mellow console-style soundtrack has been completely replaced with something much more overwhelming and happy, and after three seconds we just wanted to shut the sound off completely".

3D!!! Yes another cool looking 3D game for the NDS...If only he could show up the PSP.And I take it that the sound is bad in this game...C'mon Sega throw some good tunes in here!!

Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll ships in early 2006.

Early 2006 sounds good...But I don't want them to rush this title.

That game looks good. Using the touch screen to control your ball(s) sounds good.
