Nintendo Download: It’s Time to Go Bananas!

No, it’s not Donkey Kong, but Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble that arrives this week for Switch, plus a Metal Slug tower defense game and more.

Bananarama

Probably the biggest new addition to the Switch’s roster this week, Sega’s latest Super Monkey Ball title is here… or at least, it will be in a few days time. If you know the series, then you probably know what to expect, as players will have to roll their simian-in-a-ball around a track. Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is set to additionally offer some pretty deep sounding customization options, new moves to give your character a leg up, co-op adventure mode, and 16 player online action.

If rolling monkeys aren’t you thing, then you might be interested in Metal Slug Attack Reloaded. A tower defense game (wait don’t tune out yet), MSAR serves up a “beginner-friendly” control scheme, and a look that’s fitting with the traditional look of Metal Slug titles. There’s also Moonstone Island, which sounds like an interesting mashup of genres, and those fresh additions for the N64 and Game Boy Advance corners of the Nintendo’s Switch Online service.
