Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz video game on Xbox One

The Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD video game is now live on Microsoft’s Xbox One consoles. This game, which was only confirmed to exist a few months ago, is a new entry in the relatively well-known series which got its start way back in 2001 on the Nintendo GameCube console and is a remake of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz which originally came out on the Wii in 2006.

While several Super Monkey Ball games have appeared on Nintendo and Sony consoles over the years, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD will only be the second title in the series to appear on an Xbox console. The first was Super Monkey Ball Deluxe on the original Xbox in 2005.

Here’s the official game description for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD:
