Ape Escape is an important franchise for PlayStation. It was Sony’s first big hit that they owned 100% of. It was one of Japan Studio’s first games. It served as one of PlayStation’s mascots for over a decade. And there were great games in this series.

I'm still salty about not getting an English release of Million Monkeys. On another note, Ape Escape Move was such a missed opportunity. Ape Escape's gameplay was just asking for (preferably optional) motion controls, but instead they made a rail shooter.
They were like Sony’s Rabbids.
Ape escape was the first game that got me to buy a dual shock controller. The game wouldn’t work without it.
I miss this series. Wish they would remake/port the originals.
They’re pretty much all on psplus right now I believe
3 is noticeably missing but even ignoring that s lot of the weird games are missing.
First game that required the original dualshock controller, since it played entirely with the analogue sticks.
While we all have fond memories of Ape Escape, how would it translate to a modern gaming experience on PS5? Would gamers still be enraptured by the netting of super intelligent primates? Enough to make it worth Sony’s while?
