[UPDATE] Images of unannounced Super Monkey Ball for PS Vita leak onto Sega's Flickr photostream

UPDATE: Sega has subsequently issued a press release formally announcing Super Monkey Ball for PS Vita. The game will roll onto Sony's next-gen handheld in 2012, and will feature all-new worlds, original mini-games, 4-way wi-fi multiplayer, and updated graphics. Check out the trailer below. Original story follows:

It would seem that Sega has accidentally unveiled Super Monkey Ball for the PlayStation Vita.

Three screenshots of monkeys rolling around in balls were spotted yesterday on Sega of America’s Flickr photostream, all of them labelled as PlayStation Vita screens.

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'

Since Sega has yet to officially announce a Super Monkey Ball title for the PS Vita, the most likely explanation is that some poor unfortunate intern at Sega of America has jumped the gun and inadvertently unveiled a new title for Sony’s forthcoming handheld.

The images have since been removed from Flickr, but not before the internet grabbed hold of them. Have a look for yourself in the gallery up in the top right.
