I'm gonna preface this by saying that I've never played the original Monkey Ball games so I have no real frame of reference.
That being said, I had a good amount of fun with this game! It was cool to be able to check out this franchise in some form, even if this particular game leaves a lot to be desired for seasoned fans of the series.
However, it is BAFFLING that none of the minigames have any sort of online support. I get that RGG is busy with maintaining the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise, but I'm surprised that there's never been any sort of post-launch patch.
