Sega's Toshihiro Nagoshi - producer of the upcoming Super Monkey Ball title: Banana Blitz for the Wii has been interviewed about the game!

Speaking to IGN about the recently revealed title, Nagoshi gave away a few tid-bits about the game, including that it will probably be a launch title for the system.

"We are trying to release this title as a launch title. With all the possible ways to control AiAi and friends, this will be a must have title to go with anyone's purchase of the Revolution."

Just as the GameCube launched with a Monkey Ball title, it looks like the Wii will too - and one that will use the Wii's full functionality, including the nunchuck attachment. Twirling, flicking, tilting and other actions will be needed to complete the game's many levels.

There is no story mode this time round, though Banana Blitz will have the "most extensive variety of mini-games ever in the Monkey series," Nagoshi claimed. Additionally, he ruled out an online multiplayer.

The game will also look different, due to new graphical power and "some new functions". The title will be progressive scan and 16x9 widescreen compatible. The full interview is an interesting read, and can be found over at IGN here.
