"The launch of Super Monkey Ball signifies a new beginning for Sega and demonstrates the quality content that Sega brings to the table as a third party publisher," said Chris Gilbert, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Operations of Sega of America. "Perfect for Nintendo GameCube's demographic, we expect Super Monkey Ball to be a top-selling entertainment title for us this year."
It pleases us to know that Sega can still follow its defining principle, and make and support brilliantly innovative original titles in the face of so much fast-buck cynicism that is endemic throughout the publishing world.
