Bad news as they have made some genuinely original games on the Nintendo formats. Hopefully the company will continue with new money.

Little King's Story Developer Files for Bankruptcy
Nintendo-friendly developer reportedly 200 million yen in debt.
by Anoop Gantayat

March 8, 2010 - Reports out of Japan indicate that independent development studio Cing will be filing for bankruptcy. The studio, reportedly 205 million yen in dept, began bankruptcy preparations on March 1.

Cing was the development studio behind Nintendo-published Last Window and Hotel Dusk (known as "Wish Room" in Japan). On Wii, the studio worked on Another Code R and Little King's Story, the latter for Marvelous entertainment.

Outside of Nintendo platforms, the studio worked with Capcom on Japan-only adventure game Glass Rose for the PS2.

Damn I have only just picked up the 2nd Another Code game and was looking forward to "Last Window".

that's a pity - "Hotel Dusk" was probably the ds game that I most enjoyed.
I doubt that "Last Window" will get an English language release now....

Hotel Dusk was a touch of genius, was so looking forward to the english realease.

€1.6 million in debt? When I read it first 200 million seemed like a lot.

I feel bad for pirating their games
