Sega has released the very first gameplay trailer for the upcoming Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD.

The game, which is an HD remake of Wii title Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, was finally announced officially last month after weeks of rumours and leaked ratings. Now, thanks to the new trailer, we can get our first taste of how the game will look on Switch.

The remake updates the game's original 480p graphics to 1080p at 60fps, with optimised controls for each platform it's set to release on. Motion controls from the original have been removed in favour of tightened analogue controls, which will no doubt please fans who prefer a more traditional setup.

Features:

- Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz is Back in HD: Originally released on the Wii in 2006, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD reinvigorates the original game with 100 single-player stages, 10 multi-player mini-games, revamped control schemes, updated graphics, and more.

- Online Leaderboards: A first for the series, players can now compete with others around the world through online leaderboards for single-player Time Attack and the all-new Mini-Game Decathalon Score Attack modes.

- No Monkey Business - Play Your Way: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. With uniquely optimized control schemes for each platform, everyone from first-time rollers to world-record holders can jump right in to the fun.

The game launches on Switch both physically and digitally on 29th October.
