These online services have been suspended:
Koei Tecmo - Nobunaga's Ambition Online, Uncharted Waters Online, Shin Sangoku Musou Online will be suspended for 1 week
Square Enix - Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV and the PlayOnline service will be shutdown for 1 week
Capcom - Monster Hunter Frontier Online - mobile phone support has been discontinued until further notice
Sega - Phantasy Star Universe - service interruption may occur during rolling blackouts
Atlus - Shin Megami Tensei Imagine - service interruption may occur during rolling blackouts
Other various aspects of the game industry have been put on hold. For example, Jill and Shuma for MvC 3 have been delayed, probably because Capcom is likely to shut down their online services just like everyone else for power consumption reasons.
Disaster Report 4 has been cancelled, for obvious reasons. Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly, it jumped into the top ten of most anticipated games before the cancellation annoucnement.
These are relatively minor things in the face of much greater tragedy, but since the question came up and I've seen some news on it,I thought I'd share.
