Support NeoGAF

I'd like to say "and nothing of value was lost", but this looked like it might have been cool. Shame.

 

[Meier]

I'm really curious to know what exactly was the problem if they already spent that much.

$3.8m over the course of a number of years is pretty much peanuts.

 

[Thores]

This actually bums me out. I loved the character designs and was kind of excited about this game.

Hmm... Looks like they revised their projections for the current FY and are expecting extraordinary losses.

RIP*, always sad to hear such news.

The last I heard they were going to demo it at some show but never did. That was years ago. Totally would've bought 4.

I wonder what Yokai Watch did and others didn't that only YW took off.

Being made and released probably helped, I'm sure.

The magazine tie-in is quite important (YW pretty much secured Corocoro's support, that helped the franchise substantially).

I'm bummed we won't get that eagle design used for anything.

 

[Dr. Buni]

The CG announcement was really cute, but since we never get to see actual gameplay, it was hard to be excited for the game. Not to mention I don't trust Inafune, so...

Still, sad news.

Reading this makes me glad that Rodea survived and its being localized

 

[eXistor]

It was supposed to be a big cross-media project

I hate this mentality. Why must everything become this cross-media bullshit. Just make the game and see where it goes from there.

 

[Bulzeeb]

so is Inafune the anti midas touch of gaming this days? of his recent projects, I only recall failures. By the way, unseen 64 uploaded an article on this yesterday but I guess there is little new info in there
