A lot of people are saying that Nintendo should buy them out and make them a first party developer... I think that'd be great if that actually happens because Cing and Nintendo seem to work very well together... but I don't see it happening x.x

Another developer that suffers from the Okami syndrome, they should make a cure for that. I put the importance of a cure right in front of a cure for cancer...

I just finished Another Code: R not long ago... very well made game, was a lot longer than its DS prequel.... but when it was all over, I was a little sad knowing what's happening to Cing. I feel like this is a series that could've gone on for at least one more game...

...though at the end of the game I did notice that the Executive Producer listing was Satoru Iwata, the President of Nintendo... and the copyright notices said that everything was owned by Nintendo...

Nintendo may hold the rights, but if these games aren't made by the people who make up Cing then I can't see them being as special as they are.

It's a shame that Cing is going under, they've released some quality stuff in a sea of crapware. I agree that it would be awesome to see Nintendo buy them up... but also agree that it isn't very likely. (or at least Nintendo of America won't have anything to do with it considering their unwillingness to release Another Code: R here.)

Looks like I'm going to have to softmod my Wii to play that particular game and hope that Last Window gets an English release somewhere.

Here's hoping something good can come of this.

Definitely sucks, Hotel Dusk is my favorite DS game. Really hoping Last Window gets an international release.

On a lighter note, Again will be released very soon (in the US at least.) Anybody else excited about it? One last hurrah for CiNG maybe?

I'm hoping Again isn't that one last hurrah. Because there's that sequel to Hotel Dusk called Last Window that we MUST get!
