According to this Nikkei business article (http://www.nikkei.co.jp/news/main/20070625AT1D210BD22062007.html), Sega and Bandai Namco have decided to change their game plans when it comes to console support. The two companies have doubled the number of games they have heading to Nintendo platforms for fiscal '07 from the previous year. This is likely due to the success of the DS and Wii, as well as the fact that it's cheaper to develop for those two systems (mainly the former). Most of the upcoming titles are for the DS, as that's seemingly been the most profitable market for devs/publishers, but the Wii support is there too.

In related news, Capcom will be releasing more titles on Nintendo platforms than on Sony platforms in 2007. Not entirely surprising (again, considering the DS and Wii's success), but still noteworthy.

Ironically, all these companies helped NES, become the powerhouse it came to be.

Man Sega used to be so cool until they started to turn a loop sided. Why not bring some good Sonic games to other consoles aswell?
