I'm just wondering what happened.
I know that the first Telefang games didn't sell at all.
But the Advance versions must have sold quite a bit.
Did the company just... Stop everything?
I hope not.
Just imagine a DS version of Telefang :o

It'd be DS, though, wouldn't it? I mean, they'd stick to Nintendo most likely, having only made games for Nintendo platforms previously?

I don't really know how the sequel to Dino Device was, though... according to Racie, it was inferior. But who knows? Maybe Rocket Compant can do something good. :3

EDIT: Actually, I remember reading on Wikipedia that the Smilesoft President did something against the low (embezzled money or something like that) so the company was shut down and bought out.

NOOOOOO!!!!

I don't have a DS, only a PSP. :(

Maybe a fanmade one for the GBA, then both PSP and DS users can play it. :D

Besides I don't think we will put much of a dint in the cost to make a commercial title.

I have custom firmware on my psp, that means I can use the GBA emulator on my PSP to play GBA games, but I can't play DS games.

Also I recall that squaresoft was originally with nintendo and then switched to sony for FF7.
