| iPhone Super Monkey Ball? When Apple announced the big firmware 2.0 update coming soon for iPhone and iPod Touch, one of the things they talked about was gaming. They pulled a bunch of big-name game developers onto the stage and said “all these people are going to make iPhone games”. Electronic Arts, Sega, etc.
EA promised a version of Spore. All well and good.
Sega though … Sega showed a working demo of Super Monkey Ball, that they had ported in just a few days, controlled by tilting the iPhone and running smooth as hell.
Then they said that they were just playing around with that to see what the iPhone could do … and that they probably wouldn’t finish it off, but would work on other games instead. It had just been a test.
The good news is that they seem to have changed their minds. Sega are doing Monkey Ball on the iPhone. Amazing. I want.
