Manic Monkey Mayhem video game - Banana flinging multiplayer madness arriving on Nintendo WiiWare

side by side screens of monkeys standing on desert rocks in bow and arrow game The Code Monkeys, an independent video game development studio, are proud to announce the arrival of everyone’s favourite cheeky primates on Nintendo WiiWare this autumn with Manic Monkey Mayhem, available through the Nintendo Wii Shop Channel from October 30th.



Trained in the noble and ancient martial art of Banana Flinging, players control one of eight of these finely honed monkeys as together you do battle with up to seven other simians across eight different themed landscapes. Positioned on a small podium, separated from your opponents via a series of six floating breakable wooden crates which contain power-ups and ammunition, use your zen-like banana flinging skills to chip away at their number of lives by knocking them off their podiums, with the overall aim to be the last one standing and be crowned king or queen of all the monkeys!

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Manic Monkey Mayhem can be played with a Wii balance board across the single player modes. Plus, play against up to 3 of your friends and family in either Local Multiplayer or Nintendo Wi-Fi across a variety of chimp-tastic game modes.

Manic Monkey Mayhem will also be releasing on Sony PSP as a PSP Mini, Nintendo DSiWare and iPhone at a later date.
