Atrocious wordplay and puns aside, indie game developers Code Monkeys have plonked the latest news for this WiiWare game in our lap like a fortuitously-fallen coconut. Keep an eye out for Manic Monkey Mayhem later this month.

Trained in the noble and ancient martial art of Banana Flinging, players control one of eight of these finely-honed monkeys. Up to seven other simian antagonists can play together, and you can honor the rules of combat across eight differently themed landscapes. The rules are simple: last monkey standing wins. You’ll be positioned on a small podium and separated from your opponents via a series of six floating breakable wooden crates. Each crate contains power-ups and ammunition, so use your zen-like banana flinging skills to knock your opponents off their podiums. Then you can exalt in your glorious victory and be crowned king or queen of all the monkeys!
Even better, Manic Monkey Mayhem can be played with a Wii balance board across the single player modes. The game even supports local multiplayer or Nintendo Wi-Fi across a variety of chimp-tastic game modes. Just don’t slip on any skins!
The game will be available for purchase in the Wii Shop from 30 October.
