tl;dw -- Youtuber discovered the identity behind the original Super Monkey Ball announcer. The actor has since been contacted by Sega, and has recorded voice lines for a new Super Money Ball game, rumored 'Super Monkey Ball: Retro'.

Video includes interview with the voice actor, Brian Matt-Uhl (@briantokyojapan on Instagram, he's been teasing quite a bit on there), discussing lines recorded so far. Notable lines; 'advanced level', 'enhanced level', 'retro mode'.

The TL;DR for those not willing to watch - The voice actor for the announcer, Brian Matt, did a recording session for a Monkey Ball project with the codename "Super Monkey Ball Retro". Without giving too much away, he says a few lines that he recorded (ex. "Advanced level 1" "Enhanced level 1" "Retro Mode 5").

Creep preying on young fans via his social media
Sexual harassment allegations from young fans iirc.
Welp, now I wish we had someone better championing this franchise then, that fucking sucks.

Was hoping we'd get a remake/remaster of the first two games first... :(

I don't know if they can pull off another good monkey ball game considering their track record.

It seems likely all things considered. I hope they nail it. The classic games are really some of the best games of all time.

But don't they have and older bad entry they can still remake before doing the thing people actually want? How about a remake of the GBA game with a shitty version of monkey target?
