UPDATE 5.01pm: Following Famitsu's earlier reveal, Sega has now shared official word on its upcoming Monkey Ball revival.
As previously surmised, the publisher has opted to resurrect its beloved precision platforming series with a remaster of the somewhat less beloved Wii launch title Banana Blitz. The new version is called Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, and it's coming to Switch, Xbox One, and PS4 on 29th October. A Steam release is due some time during "Winter 2019".
This enhanced version of the 2006 Wii title promises updated graphics and "uniquely optimised control schemes for each platform" across the game's 100 single-player stages.
