I find it quite intresting that none of the companies (G.Rev, Milestone & Triangle Service) have any intrest in developing for the Type X hardware as it's too expensive and that they really like the Naiomi system. So it's a stong possability that we will see more Naiomi based software from all these developers for a couple of years to come.
Oh and the CEO of G.Rev sounds like a really cool bloke. :)
Back when Sega pulled the plug on DC my main gripe was the popularity of Naomi could still sustain the console because it was a cheap development option and ports were easy. And while it's not on a grand scale or anything it's been cool to see some companies embrace this. The results could be interesting too.

Think about it, Under Defeat will be G.Rev's third generation game on Naomi (fourth if you count Doki). Aside from Sega and Capcom no other company has put this much Naomi content out, perhaps they can still show off some tricks with the old hardware. *-neo
