Kid Icarus: Uprising Studio Closes Down

[Battleaxx90]

That's what you get for putting out a horrible, unintuitive piece of vomit like Kid Icarus.

How it got past pre-alpha in that state, I'll never know.

I'll spare you the massive, 2-page nerdrage I was two seconds away from writing, and instead reply with a video I've been meaning to use for a while now...

Thank you, we don't need another 5 pages of bitching about this.

Is everyone stupid or something? Kotaku said this was the studio that made Brawl and now this!??!

Okay, let's set this straight:

Project Sora and Sora Ltd are TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES. Project SORA was created JUST For Kid Icarus: Uprising from Sora Ltd employees as well as other Nintendo staff. This studio was only meant to exist for this game and this game only

****

You mean 2 companies that technically have the same name got mixed up? Holy shit, Kotaku's retarded.

But yeah, the rest of it is pretty much nail-on-head territory.

>Sora Ltd
>Project Sora

Yep. Totally the same name. Reading comprehension, who's that for?

Obviously you know how they're two different companies so I won't go into how they're different just to add post content here. You know it, and I know it.

What the fuck, why are studios closing down so fast, Kid Icarus sold rather well. What is going on? I'll be picking up a copy of KI:Uprising as soon as I get my 3DS in a few days.

Why? Because AAA gaming is starting to collapse upon itself. The weight of creating these games is getting too heavy. With the size of budgets these days even little titles like this one need to sell a large number of copies to break even and turn a profit.

The only game developers that are laughing their way to the bank right now are those in the indie scene. Everyone else is scurrying around trying to figure out ways to keep the investors happy.

EEeeeyup.

That's pretty much the state of affairs as I see it.


Also just because they disbanded this 'sect' everyone is freaking. They've just been reabsorbed into Nintendos gelatinous mass. Chill.

the worst thing about the news is that both this and skyward sword got the perfect Famitsu score.
