but Compile has bit the dust. Thier site now has a formal letter of bankruptsy, and a link to a developer who picked up thier last title.
LIES! Lies. lies...
I wish it weren't so. I wish they could've made a new shooter with the genius of Zanac or Zanac X Zanac. I wish they could've done more than just make excesses of Puyo Puyo games. I wish the people who were behind Compile come back again with something great.
Chalk up another one for them bastards, the world.

Several months late on that one, but sad none the lest.
On the bright side, Aiky (the new developer) is bringing Puchi to Nya to the MVS, and Sega is continuing Puyo Puyo. Compile just wasn't doing much else anyway.
Least they squoze ZanacXZanac out first, as spoon said.

yes, and what I'm saying is that their main properties are still being carried on. That GBA Puyo Puyo was sega developed, and it was pretty damn good. So don't worry too much. It's sad, true. But I think the rest of us have had a few months to get over it by now ^_^

Like the thread says, at least some titles survived death, but in the case of Data East I don't think anyone even bothered to dig up something out of the corpse.

Somebody picked up the Magical Drop license, but I forget who. It'll come to me.

That's the best news I have heard in this week... Further inquiring is now imperative.

regarding data east, one company got Metal Max, and like rugal says, MD was picked up too.
They just put out the first MD on PSX superlites...but I can't remember who it is.

Minna de Puyo Puyo (GBA) is one of the best Puyo games I've played, no need to worry about that, the saga might continue living thanks to Sega. But it was bad to see Compile closing, I made a couple of posts about that back then.
Hopefully there'll be PochiNya pots for home systems, if only I could get the WakuPuyo Dungeon game for PS1... (played it on Saturn and loved it)
*goes to play the RPG mode in Puyo Puyo BOX*
