Another company has been swallowed by the crumbling economy. Rumour was that they were working on Kid Icarus for the Wii.

Beh, pretty soon DSI Games is gonna be the only developer in business.

DSI already became "ZOO Interactive", some time ago

 

[Vague Rant]

I suspect they'll continue using the name now that the DSi has been unveiled (that or sell it at a premium).

Not factor five. The Rouge Squadron games were great. I hope they form a new company. Preferably become a nintendo 3nd party developer.

Perhaps the name of this board should be changed to "User Submitted Rumors," since that's mostly what's posted here these days.

That's a damn good point, we do get mostly rumours. I guess that was a joke, but it's actually a good idea I think aha.

And I was looking forward to a Kid Icarus game, 'tis a shame.

they should probably rename a lot of newspapers "rumourpapers" too then
