With Sin & Punishment getting the Wii VC treatment and a sequel, and Starfy finally being brought over, I think we're going to start to see a trend of Smash Bros Assist Trophies being brought over to the mainstream. If Kururin had a new game on the DS, I bet it'd be next in like.
I think the success of Katamari definitely played a hand in bringing Starfy over, too. Though really, so far (I'm at stage 2-3) I don't see anything "too Japanese." Yes, the second world is a hot spring, but it's no different than any other platform game's lava/fire level. The dialogue and the unlockables were localized in a way that they all seem very American, too. I don't see anything here that wouldn't appeal to the same crowd who would play Kirby or Mario Bros. If anything, Super Princess Peach feels way more Japanese in design to me.
