CAGiversary!
Absolutely loved monkey target on the cube, and have wii monkey ball in route with the wii, coming on saturday...So...How is Monkey Target on the wii...Please tell me it's as good as Monkey Ball 1's target mode on the cube...I played that for literally days on end.
 
Prepare yourself for a disappointment.

Monkey Target on the Wii:
1. Only 1 course
2. Only 1 landing pad on that course
3. No items (break, magnet, star)

Only new features I saw were
1. The "Option ball". You press B to release a secondary ball that will score you points if it lands on the target.
2. Balls stay on the landing pad throughout each round, so it's possible that the bullseye you scored in the first round gets knocked off before scoring. (I may be wrong on this one, but I think that's what I observed)
3. Obviously the new controls
 
I wouldn't say it's bad, but I still find it a disappointment. Why would they take out features? They turned their best minigame into an 'ok' game.

Half the fun for me was racing for the items and trying to reach the far off landing pads.
 
Yeah, it's kinda a bummer. But it basically turned it into shuffleboard, so it's more of a close one door open another...

I'm okay with the canon launching portion of it, but the lack of targets/multipliers/options and the bonus ball thing really put me off of it as a target game.

Monkey Boxing was also a letdown too, since it's far more fun to just play WiiSports.
 
Still fun IMO, just not quite as fun as the last one.

That said, the 'target golf' training game in Wii Sports is a blast.
