One of the most talented studio in the industry, even if their games aren't big hits they're quite unique and extremly well done.

On 1st March 2010, Cing (the developer of Another Code, Hotel Dusk, Little King's Story) filed for bankruptcy in Japan. The company has suffered liabilities totaling 256 million yen (about 2.5 million USD).

Thinking about it, some big studios can fart 2.5 million just for games advertaising.

Well, we can't blame HD development costs this time. What is gonna happen to Hotel Dusk 2? I liked the original.

Bummer. Nintendo should ( but probably won't ) buy them.

Pixel Art can be fun.

when was the last time Nintendo bought a studio??

it's a serious question.They have tons of money now ,,,they should buy studios now so they can increase their chances of success in future generations.
