Clover Studio Closed
Clover Studio is being closed by its parent company Capcom in 2007. The reason, not enough profit from the games they design.
What games have they designed?
Oh......Okami! Viewtiful Joe! God Hand! Too name a few.
This is terrible news. Clover Studio is one of the most creative, innovative, and fresh game design studios out there. Their games have their own aesthetic and style that stands out among the cookie cutter games released each year.
They were my favorite studio and heroes. This is a sad day in gaming.

Wow, this makes no sense.

"A source who wishes to remain anonymous is telling me that the Clover gang actually wants to split from Capcom and form their own independent development studio. So the dissolution, then, would have been caused by the developers deciding to take off."
Let's all hope this newer bulletin is the truth! In the meantime I will rock back and forth playing Okami in an autistic haze mumbling "say it ain't so, jim. say it ain't so!"
