Definitely good news. I hope they come up with some new mini-games that are as good as the one in the original and add some variety to the main game. Toning the frustration level down a bit would be nice too.

Personally, if it's just new boards and the same gameplay, I won't bother picking up the sequel. Well, unless the mini-games are really, really good. Monkey Billiard and Bowling are the only two things I still play. Expert was just too frustrating for me. It was too hard to be fun IMO.

I've never gotten past level 15 or so with unlimited continues.
I just don't have the patience, plus I thought the main game got old pretty fast anyway as it was just the same thing over and over on slightly different boards. Plus there was nothing else to unlock so I didn't really have any motivation to labor through, and I didn't think it was fun, so I just quit and stuck with the mini games.

Someone posted a scan of the screens from Gamepro. Pictures are small but you can see Sega is going all out!

sweet!! Thanks for posting the link to those pictures CreatureX!! It looks a lot more detailed than the first game, though that didn't detract from the gameplay at all in the first. From the looks of the screens it looks like Monkey Soccer will be debuting .
I loved the first one, I got my friends hooked on this game . Easy to play but practically impossible to master heheheh.....I never did beat the expert mode, can't wait for this one!

My girlfriend loves monkeyball! We have had many parties with our friends and monkeyball, always ends up being a drinking game though.
Ign said that all the original minigames will be redone for 2. plus soccer, baseball, and some others. This is going to be the best party game ever. Unless a new Mario Kart comes out.
