Cing files for bankruptcy

Well, this is about as far from how we wanted to start out the week as humanly possible -- a Japanese news site called Data-Max reports that Cing, developer of precious gems such as Hotel Dusk and Little King's Story, has filed for bankruptcy, suffering liabilities of 256 million yen.

It really sucks when a developer has to take such desperate measures to deal with its economic hardships, but it double-sucks when one of said developer's games -- in this case, Hotel Dusk sequel Last Window -- is still due for an American localization. Here's hoping Cing can recover from what's proven to be one of the most painfully slow sales seasons for the company to date.

Well, this was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise.

Interestingly it doesn't sound like the company has no chance of recovering at all but it's not looking good. :/

Gyakusheets Performance Contest 2010

madmazda86 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:56:13 CET

Gyakusheets was established in September 2007, as a sheet music resource purely for Capcom's Ace Attorney series on the Gameboy Advance/Nintendo DS. The sheet music is aimed at musicians of all abilities (though some are trickier than others!) and arranged to be performed in groups, but can also be adapted for solo performance. Though the sheet music on Gyakusheets is designed for chamber instruments, we aim to be a resource and link to guitar tabs and alternative transcriptions posted on external sites in addition to our own transcripts.

In 2008 we ran a performance contest in which fans across the world submitted their performances of music from the Ace Attorney series. Instruments used varied from ocarina, to guitar, to bamboo flute, to voice, to piano medleys and more. After a shortlisting process the general public then voted for their favourite performances. You can listen to the 2008 winners here.

To celebrate the release of Ace Attorney Investigations this year, we're holding another performance contest!

Gyakusheets Performance Contest 2010

How to enter

Take a piece of music from any of the Ace Attorney games and record your performance of it. There are two categories: solo and group (i.e. more than one performer) performance. It can be learned by ear, played from sheet music or improvised - as long as I can identify the base tune, you can enter it! Medleys of pieces will also be accepted.

Computerised accompaniment is permitted but the main performer must be playing an instrument. I won't accept an entirely computer generated piece - this is about what you can do, not what your computer can do!

Email your entry as an attachment to gyakusheets at googlemail dot com, or upload to the likes of MegaUpload and email me the link (legit upload sites please, no sharebee or anything like that).

It is recommended that you submit it in OGG, but feel free to use any other file format for your recording (such as WAV, MP3, or whatever your recorder records it in).

Deadline

All entries must be received by 30 June 2010. If you're working on something epic and need a little more time, get in touch by email and let me know.

Judging

Myself and another judge will go through the entries to create a shortlist. Shortlisted entries will then be put up for vote to the general public! The three entries with the highest votes in each category will then be placed accordingly.

Prizes

First, second and third place winners in each category will have their performances permanently hosted on Gyakusheets. Other shortlisted entries that weren't placed will be uploaded externally and linked to from Gyakusheets.

First place winners will receive the following prizes:-

Group Category

* A set Ace Attorney playing cards
* Bad Badger phonestrap
* Official Gyakuten Saiban pin badge

Solo Category

* Apollo Justice and Klavier Gavin phone straps
* Maya Fey + Pearl Fey pinbadge

=================================

I received some fantastic entries last year - from Luke Atmey's theme on guitar to vocal renditions of Guitar's Loving Serenade to Godot's theme on the ocarina. So I'm really looking forward to receiving this year's entries - whatever you play, just give it a shot and enter!

And by way of inspiration, here's a little jam session some people from this site did:

Victor Kudo's theme

Last Window "confirmed" in Europe!

L~A — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:15:29 CET

And this time, it's "official", not a fan-made vid or anything :p

Indeed, according to Silliconera, Nintendo has filled a trademark for Last Window in Europe, which means the game will be released in Europe (and also, that's the localization has probably already begun) :)
Nothing yet for the US, but there's little doubt the game will also be released there too.

Quote:

It wasnâ��t announced at Nintendoâ��s Media Summit, but it appears Nintendo has plans to release Last Window, a direct sequel to Hotel Dusk, overseas.

Nintendo just filed a trademark for Last Window in Europe and we donâ��t have to guess what game itâ��s going to be used for. I checked for a similar trademark in the US database and couldnâ��t find one at this time. Hopefully, Last Window: Midnight Promise will get a worldwide release. Even if it doesnâ��t you can always import from Europe, which is better than no English version.

By the way, Again, another game by Cing, will be released in the US on March the 30th!

Official Nintendo Magazine: Asks AA

Wooster — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:09:25 CET

Just checked our email and we got a nice message from Tom East of Official Nintendo Magazine. He complimented us on Court-Records, but more importantly;He wrote up an impressive article interviewing Shu Takumi, and Motohide Eshiro.

[quote="Excerpt from the Article"">

How did you come up with the concept of a courtroom game? And did you expect it to be as successful as it has been? -hooeylewissukz

Takumi: I love classic mystery novels and the Ace Attorney franchise is a materialised form of my ideals of the mystery genre. I think a good mystery game should allow the player to feel the sensation of solving the veiled mystery little by little, with a dramatic build-up of logic and evidence.

I felt that this would be extremely befitting in a court with an attorney and a witness testifying. I'm also a big fan of courtroom drama so I knew the first Ace Attorney would be a good game but I wasn't expecting it to be this popular - I didn't even dream of a day Phoenix Wright went abroad![/quote">

There's a lot of interesting stuff that gets covered, some Fan Speculation gets addressed, and there are some small looks inside what goes in through their minds regarding the history of the series and where they think they're going with it.

Show Tom some support and check out his Article.
