I can see Katamari kind of working for the iPhone or a touch based device maybe not the optimal way of playing it but it wouldn't be half bad.

Two analog sticks is still better though I would think. I kind of wish they would make it for the 3DS but I am not sure how it would work with one analog stick and maybe one simulated on the touch screen.

On the Vita it would be perfect so not much to say there.

To be honest that kind of game would probably sell better on a Nintendo system then on a Sony or Microsoft based system (the user base of those two seem to favor FPS's according to the sales charts.)

Either way I would consider this a score for iPhone users who might not have got a chance to play it yet. The rest of the games seem like they wouldn't work well on a touch screen.
