Cing files for Bankruptcy.
Another Developer bites the Dust

Sunday, March 7th, 2010 at 7:26pm by Will

1268006777627Japanese news site called Data-Max has reported today that Cing, the developer who made games such as Hotel Dusk, Little King’s Story, and Trace Memory has filed for bankruptcy. Cing was reportedly in the red some 256 million yen.

This is indeed a sad day. As it appears that any hope of the sequel to Hotel Dusk, Last Window, being released in the US has been closed.

Does anyone have any found memories of the games that Cing has released?

If you have ever played Mega Man 7 on the Super Nintendo. You should be familiar with the sinister copy of Mega Man know as Bass. He is of course designed by Dr. Wily, and was constructed based on research on Mega Man.Bass1 Bass has strong desire to defeat Mega Man and be known as the strongest robot in the world often makes him rebel against Dr. Wily’s own orders. Though he wants to defeat Mega Man, Bass often works together with him against a common enemy, though usually for his own purposes.

He will be available as DLC for WiiWare along with the other consoles versions. of Mega Man 10 all on the same date, April 5th, and will cost 200 Nintendo Bass3Points. Bass’s special abilities seem to be his character defining diagonal attack as well as a dash move. Besides Bass himself, Capcom has stated that they have also planned more DLC for Mega Man 10, including three special stages, and the return of endless attack mode.

What do you think about Mega Man 10? Does it stand up well against the previous titles in the series as well as Mega Man 10?

Mystery game to be previewed

While I can’t really mention what game it is or who the publisher is due to an embargo… I am glad to say that we have received a new game to preview in a very unlikely manner. While Infendo has reviewed and previewed games before; we have never really gotten a Dev Cartridge to test a game at our own leisure.

Usually we go to events or mini developer parties, pretty much how most preview and hands on sessions work. One thing I have to say is that the Development Cartridge doesn’t work in a Nintendo DSi so I have to pull out my trusty Phat DS to give this game a whirl. I’m excited, are you?

Nintendo Spotting – Triforce at my Trainstation!?

I was sitting at my local train station today while waiting for the train to school and I happened to notice something peculiar on the bottom of the door. I thought it was just frost or snow or something, but it actually turned out to be a little decal of the Triforce placed inside the glass. I was kind of freaked out because I was reflecting on how Zelda could progress on the hand held system after Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

Kind of weird. Has anyone spotted the Triforce lately?
