It is a damn shame they closed down. I was hoping they had done TFU 2 for Wii but I guess not. Shame so many of their games were second class that no one would ever play, or never had the chance to show off what they could do. I would gladly pick up TFU 2 if they had done it, but I am extremely skeptical of Lucas Arts after playing the first one on 360.I ain't falling for the old demo bait and switch again either!

Not to be THAT GUY or anything, but I thought Wii games only needed a few hundred thousand to be successful?  Especially games that are not exactly mindblowing and a small dev with not too much overhead...?  I mean, I thought this was nearly a fact the way it's spoken about by most.

Not to be THAT guy but if you looked at the games they released after their million seller Wii games were a good number of low selling PS3/360/Wii/PSP/PS2 games  

Using the link at the top of the page I can see that they made several PS3/360 games that didn't exactly set the charts on fire.  It was probably those more than their Wii games:

Star Wars Clone Wars 360 - 0.25m

Star Wars Clone Wars PS3 - 0.2m

Viva Pinata: PA 360 - 0.18m

Hellboy 360 - 0.08m

Hellboy PS3 - 0.07m

So they made 0 good titles ?

They are the studio Microsoft contracted to work on the Game Room project.  Since released Game Room has been a mixed bag of good and not good.  As a retro fan who likes Game Room (cool features, despite the issues), I hope it is still able to stay up, and get more content for it.  The introduction of bundle packs (get 5 Konami arcade games for $10 or 15 or $15, hopefully gets sales going, and has more publishers signing on)

I would say Blade Kitten didn't do sales they needed, and also the they did a movie game contract, which also gives hints they were hurtning.

I enjoyed Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, shame.

Yeah.....that's better.  That makes more sense.  Well, at least they never made anythin substantial, then it would have REALLY sucked.

It's amazing they survived this long looking at quality of games they made.

too bad for Krome, but I knew this was coming.

When people were calling Wii SWTFU a substandard game. I didn't disagree. When Krome got to do some HD games. The HD fans raved at how awesome these games were going to be. Hold with me. So the games came out. Sold poorly to expectations... So what went bad?

Krome like many developers aren't really substandard. Often they are given a budget and a deadline. Krome isn't a AAA developer to publishers. So they often get smaller budgets and shorter deadlines compared to SWFTU HD(this applies to Ghost Busters as well). When the Wii version of SWTFU sold relatively well. 1 million as stated. The publishers took note and started making some false assumptions. They assumed they could produce a good game with the same relative budget and deadline for the HD consoles. So they put Krome to a higher expectations without much of an increase to cover the assumptions. Krome  got the game out because that's what Krome is good at doing. The games fell well below expectations(the faulty assumption that all games HAVE to be million sellers now). Clearly at this point the publishers just pulled their backing.

It's a pitty, but publishers don't really spend that much attention to the Why  and just the Results.
