When Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD arrives on the Switch this October 29, several things will have been improved over the original Wii version. First up is the huge resolution upgrade from 480p to 1080p and with that comes improved graphics and a stable 60fps. One of the biggest issues with the Wii version was its somewhat finicky motion controls. Those have been completely scrapped in favor of the traditional analog stick, hopefully making the game better than ever! We’re keeping our fingers crossed.
