I'll be interested to see if Sega ponies up for a new deal with Platinum.  Based on the four games they did for them, only Bayonetta was a real hit.  Madworld did okay at around a quarter million sales, though I suspect a large chunk of its sales came after it was deeply discounted.  Vanquish hasn't really shown up on any top selling charts (like Amazon or gamestop.com) and looks doomed due to the short game length - a lesson they should have learned since that was one of the main complaints of Madworld. ANd I don't really know about Infinite Space but I don't think that was a big seller either. Only person I ever saw talk about it was Leo.

I was playing Sonic Adventure 2 and I got to one of the final Sonic levels and there is a part where you get on these colored platforms and you must change the gravity to move around them. They come in all different colors like red, green, purple, yellow, blue.

It reminded me of something...

Mario Galaxy, copying what Sonic did 6 years prior.

I'll go ahead and say it now, Final Fantasy XIV is doomed.  FFXI started out rough, though not a rough as this, but it still had the novelty of being a Final Fantasy MMORPG that kept people interested while the bugs were worked out.  No such novelty this time around to keep XIV afloat for the next 6 months that it'll take to get all the necessary patches in place.  When an MMORPG can't build up a decent seized community from the get-go, it's the kiss of death. I question whether they'll even try to launch the PS3 version in March.

There is a lot of hubris swilling around in these companies, I think they'll be in denial for a while. The shoudl not have shipped the PC version before the PS3 version was ready (or the PC version for that matter).  They were probably trying to get it out before Cataclysm.  It will proably fail, but I doubt they will pull the plug.  Remember this is the company that gave us the PSPgo.

Frankly even if the game was half-way decent it'd still at serious risk simply because of Cataclysm.  I know a lot of WoW players dusting off their accounts in anticipation of that game.  I don't know the first thing about it, other than it's going to be a monster.  Any fee-based MMORPG launching within a 3 month window of Cataclysm is going to be mauled.

Hooray! Now if only the Japanese ad music was available in full somewhere online. That'd make my day.

I would expect that game would be much easier to play with the touch screen.

I remember having that on my DC. Man it was frustrating with the DC controller!

True it was. I didn't like the GBA version either. DS would be perfect -- never used an iPhone, I assume it has touch control at least as sensitve as DS, so should be perfect match.
