Ouch. They went out on a good note (Umihara Kawase trilogy now on Steam), but I have to wonder if that project was a Hail Mary they needed to do really well just to survive. Hopefully their staff will find jobs at other companies or ease out of the industry on favorable terms.

The idea behind the company was great, but i don't know if they really had profit with their projects. RIP.

I am wondering what this means for the supposed Steam port of Code of Princess.

Code of Princess was actually a decent beat 'em up if you got on sale. You could do worse for $15.

Played Code of Princess for a few hours (5).
I can't say that game was worth a full retail price. It felt very repetitive and literally did nothing throughout itself. Shoulda been an eShop game at like, 10 bucks. It had a hell of a nice special collectors figure in Japan though.
Sucks that they're defunct. Didn't like the gameplay of Code of Princess, but the music and art were really pretty. =l They could have made great games in the future.

Sayonara Umihara Kawase indeed.
I think it could have been brilliant if not for the frame rate. I was really looking forward to a pc port.

Sad news indeed
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
How's the game though?
I was looking forward to seeing more from them. Code of Princess was OK but Sayonara Umihara Kawase was pretty great. Even got it day 1 on 3DS. No one makes those kind of games anymore...
Well nevermind then.
I don't know, I'm still waiting for that sale.
Really good and comes with the SNES OG too. Worth the $20
I found this out a few days ago when my company reached out to do an interview with them... and they told us they were being liquidated. Sad to hear, I liked a lot of things they did. The team is made up of talented people though, so I hope to see them do other things in the future.
Maybe we should buy these ASAP and make a backup of all files
Edit: On Steam, of course.

You don't need to make a backup, they will not take away your game.
Yeah this is the important part. It seems most articles are citing them as the devs when they only publish the titles. Studio Saizensen is still here.
They also removed some PSX import titles from the do download list when they were delisted.
I think some came back a few years later.
I wish someone had a list for that, for how many times people claim of games being removed altogether when there are so very little.
