"Nowadays browsing a software shelf in an average games store will usually yield a game that involves gunning down enemy hordes through a first-person perspective. As overly frequent as they may be, each generation of consoles tends to gravitate towards one popular genre depending on popular acclaim and ease of engine design. Long-term fans of gaming will easily remember the one genre that took centre stage during the Nintendo and Sega years; the humble platformer. The range of ideas on show as developers battled to gain the most mindshare was truly one to witness, from the downright strange Boogerman and Earthworm Jim, to more abstract concepts like Zool and Cool Spot.

Development studio Renegade Kid is shutting down after its two co-founders have decided to go their separate ways. They will both continue to develop games.
Very sad news, because they made some great games. I do have to wonder though if the closing has anything to do with them not making many games for systems other than Nintendo ones. Because sadly not many people have been buying games on Nintendo one recently.
