Just as I was beginning to have such a big crush on them, Capcom goes and pulls the plug on Clover Studios makers of Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand. Just like that. Poof! How depressing.

Okami, as I mentioned earlier, has been the single greatest video gaming delight of 2006. I’m still plugging away at it. I’m not entirely sure how badly I want to see the ending, because I just don’t want it to end. That, and I’ve an OCD about collecting as many of those damnable Stray Beads as I possibly can.

I haven’t yet played God Hand, but despite the negative reviews I’m really intrigued to do so. Picking it up is going to be bittersweet, to say the least.

(By way of Kotaku)
