Why does Monkey Ball have so many characters that AREN’T FROM MONKEY BALL?
Look. It’s great that they’re making a new monkey ball title and they’re adding some characters from other games.
Here’s the problem. They’re doing it so much that it feels like AIAI is being sidelined in his own video game. And I feel like it cheapens the franchise you’re saturating them with. Because Monkey Ball is no longer a game just about the monkeys. It now has to include all these other franchises.
Can you imagine if they put Kiryu, Beat, Amitie, Arle, Vyse, Gilias, and Ulala in Sonic Frontiers? It would cheapen the focus of the whole game!!!
If they wanted to have a game with all the SEGA franchises overlapping, we already had that!! It was called Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed. Leave Monkey Ball to itself and go make another one of those!
