I was pretty pissed when I heard about this, and still am. They were really talented people over there, and Dyack was always one to back Nintendo no matter what. This definatley hurts.

Sorry to see them leave, well atleast they can get Too Human out sooner, I think Nintendo might have been holding them back from completing the game.
hehehe
I wonder what the ign boards look like right about now

Eh they're ok...


I don't think anyone here has said that. In fact, most people here are taking it fairly hard...

The only people who aren't complaining are those who either have all three systems (thus, it doesn't matter who SK develops for) or just didn't care in the first place...

I bet you didn't even look at the posts after the first one. You just wanted to say we were all being fanboys. Come on, don't lie

As if it mattered to Nintendo anymore. Konami never spent a cent on advertising. Not one commercial.

This isnt nearly as bad as Rare leaving. SK is officiailly third party (Rare went straight from one console to another). SK wants to be third party, I guarentee thats why they left. Their game sales are lackluster on a single console. They have talked about despise for consoles like PS2 in the past, but will probably make games for PS2 aswell as xbox AND gamecube. And all three next gen consoles.

I dont really mind this news, other than that I will probably have to wait even LONGER for Too Human...Maybe nintendo will replace them with a company like...zoonami!

Hopefully Nintendo isnt starting a trend here. First they give off Rare, then SK becomes the studio that got great out of nowhere (something like that) then they go 3rd party. Either Retro Studios or Zoonami will be the next SK/Rare for Nintendo and then bam, 2-3 great games later they go 3rd party/jumpship

Ouch. SK gone.... What was Nintendo thinking?
We all felt that Rare had issues, so we quickly accepted the loss. But SK was doing good things for Nintendo!
Hopefully they'll release Too Human on the Cube....

Edit: IGN has listed for E3: Silicon Knights title (Cube) There's hoping...

It's just Nintendo fan spin control. Pointing out its existence simply encourages more spin control AND the denial of the fact that spin control exists.

Its a theory

I dont think Retro will be going anywhere anytime soon because Nintendo basically owns the studio.

*looks again for stupid fanboy comments about how SK is only OK just 'cause they left*

*still can't find any*

*wonders if maybe Deathshand and Stonecutter are in their own little fantasy worlds*
