Sega+DSi Ware= pure awesomeness

A 5 second look at the intro says Treasure and Smilebit developed it.

As I said, I haven't played it. A 5 second look at my post would have told you that much.

Astro Boy is one of the most replayable games I think I've ever played. Also...yes. Sega released a couple games for the GBA. Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5, Chu Chu Rocket, Jet Grind Radio, Sega Rally, Sonic Advance 1-3, Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon or something like that (speaking of which, a new Shining Force for DS would be awesome). Most of those GBA games were pretty good and the ones that were technically demanding, like Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5 and JGR actually ended up being pretty decent. I think that with the extra boost in horsepower that the DSi has, would let Sega realize ambitious projects like that. I think Sega's been screwing up every now and then ever since they merged with Bandai, but they're not out yet!!

Sega published a bunch of titles for the GBA and Gunstar Super Heroes did have a director (Tetsu Okano) from Sega, who also provided the storyline and art direction.

I'm still waiting on Sega to release Phantasy Star Mini for DSi ware for the West, like they've done for the Japan audience.

What about Monkey Ball Jr? I heard that was good.

And Astro Boy had Sega's name on it, whether they developed it or not. That got pretty good reviews, too.

Monkey Ball Jr != badass in my book. Think of all the badass/top notch Genesis/Megadrive games. Then compare that with what Sega did put out on the GBA. Then feel sad.

Maybe they could do what Capcom did and make a retro sequel to Sonic 3?

Didn't THQ handle most of the GBA ports for sega? That alone makes me sad.

Monkey Ball Jr. rocked. It was one of the best GBA games, IMHO. I played it before the console versions, and was greatly disappointed by the console versions when I got around to playing them. The game was much better suited for a handheld. Too bad they totally botched the DS version.
