... Have they tried Euro publishers? The smaller American publishers may have turned into bumbling arseholes this generation (aside from the likes of XSEED), but they'd have no trouble getting this out in Europe. At least then American's could import it.
I enjoyed Intellivision Lives! on PS2, but the controls really hurt it. I can see a DS version working much, much better (touch screen controller <3). Good luck to these guys, anyway!
