I didn't mean to come across as aggressive towards you before by the way (so sorry if I did). I'm just a big Ape Escape fan, and to me he is iconic to the series. I totally get where you're coming from with the monkey thing, but it just wouldn't make as much sense (to me) playing as a monkey as it would playing as Spike.
I think there's probably an argument for Specter being the playable character in PSABR, but that's a different story...!
Many games in the series haven't been released outside Japan. Equally, Spike isn't in every Ape Escape game - there's a different protaganist in 2, and two different protaganists in 3. He appears in every main-line game in some capacity, though.
