Sega trademarks Tabegoro! Super Monkey Ball in Japan

Sega Games has trademarked Tabegoro! Super Monkey Ball in Japan. “Tabegoro” means “ripe,” “in season,” or “good to eat.”

Monkey Ball first launched for arcades in 2001, followed by GameCube as Super Monkey Ball the same year. The latest entry in the series, Super Monkey Ball Bounce, launched for iOS and Android in September 2014, but was removed from sale in 2015. Prior to that, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz launched for PS Vita in June 2012.

Sega has not announced the development of a new Super Monkey Ball title.

Thanks, @piercesword.
