You know, I'm really starting to get the feeling that Sega totally opened the floodgates after announcing their plans to make games for other platforms. Besides their already announced titles for PS2, Xbox, GameCube and Game Boy Advance, they have just announced Crazy Taxi 3 and a port of Skies of Arcadia for PS2, and I was very (pleasantly) surprised to read that Sega Swirl is now available for Palm OS handhelds. As long as I get at least one new Panzer Dragoon title in the next few years (hopefully a second RPG while they're at it) I don't care what they do...but some of these are really, really cool, like the aforementionedSoA port and Shining Soul for GBA. Hopefully they'll wind being up as successful as they've always deserved to be.

• Speaking of Sega's ambitious cross-platform plans, the Toe Jam & Earl sequel, like many recent games, has moved from the Dreamcast to an unnamed console system.
• A whole week has gone by, and so it's about time for yet another preview of Final Fantasy XI.
• Choosing to ignore the game's all-caps title, GameSpot has posted a hands-on look at GUNVALKYRIE (at least they don't call it a "Metroid Prime-killer like IGN did).
• Also at GameSpot are some new shots from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a preview of Mister Mosquito (AKA Ka, that wacky mosquito game) and still more media from the GameCube Resident Evil remake.
• A preview of Worms World Party for GBA is up at Pocket.IGN tonight.
• Xbox.IGN has a new preview of Wreckless: The Yakuza Mission, said by some to be the Xbox-equivalent of Grand Theft Auto 3.
• In a Q&A from Famitsu (translated by Core Magazine), Enix's Keiji Honda confirmed that the company plans to support the GameCube, although they haven't decided what titles will be released for it.
• Also at Core tonight by way of Famitsu is a Q&A with Namco's Youichi Haraguchi, who discusses cross-platform development, their involvement with Square's PlayOnline network and more.
