The one thing we need on Switch is a new Super Monkey Ball. Sega has been slumping when it comes to that property; the last one I played was at a Chuck E. Cheese’s and was nothing but bad ticket-earning fodder. That’s a pale comparison from where Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 sat on the GameCube, as a couple of the best arcade-style games on the console.

Never mind Marble Madness on the NES, Sega Genesis, and arcade which was arguably the best marble-based game on those platforms. (Prove me wrong.) The game was simple; you navigate a rolling marble around an isometric 3D grid trying not to fall off the edge. There are obstacles and enemies in your path. You try to go for the high score.

And that’s it.

In Marble It Up! you navigate a rolling marble around a 3D level and try not to fall off the edge. There are obstacles in your path. You try to go for the high score and get gold medals on each of the forty stages.

And that’s it.
