I think Smilebit got rejiggered when Sega reorganized their development studios and got rid of all their cool individual names. I have no idea what they're working on.

And the people who made Loco Roco are not the same people who made Shadow of the Colossus.

I sold my old motherboard, CPU, and videocard to a guy that worked for zipper interactive. He had me meet them at one of there studios in the seattle area..

He showed me a PS3 Dev kit and was working on a game for Playstation 3. it was a SOCOM i'm fairly sure

First Tetsuya Mizuguchi from Q? was from United Game Artist, and before then, from AM5 not from Smilebit. Second, Smilebit reconstructed.

Smilebit reconstructed means? Tetsuya Mizuguchi made lumines, even though it is a half ass game. And yes, he is now Q. One of the best sega developers.

Means they folded back.

And from what I know, a lot of people loved Lumines, and Meteos.

They aren't that great compared to his old games. Rez, and space channel 5, are probably my favorite music games with amplitude, frequency, and everyday shooter. I thought gitaroo man, and elite beat agents as great, but not as great as these games.

He did more than just Rez and Space Channel 5. Like the legendary SEGA Rally Championship games, which during their time, were praised by actual professional drivers as having the best handling ever in a game. He worked more than 10 years for SEGA for crying out loud.

Why do you say REZ was a music game? It wasn't anything like Amplitude or Frequency or DDR. It was more like Panzer Dragoon than anything.

Anyway...99 Nights was a pretty good game. Anybody who says you can press X to beat the whole thing never did not beat it and despite it's button mashing design it doesn't kill your hand and does require some thought and strategy. Plus getting A or S on all the levels is a good challenge.
