Looks like your options for importing the Higurashi PS3 version right now are JBOX and PlayAsia at least, while they're still in supply... AmiAmi only has the Vita version.

RIP

Screw you mobile, destroying my childhood like this.

When they were Naxat, they published quite a few gems like the Spriggan series and even made some great games like Coryoon, Devil's Crush, Alien Crush, and Jaki Crush.

RIP

1988-2015

Mobile, please crash and die, you have no respect for the classics.

Same thing happened with Cyberfront and Kaga. They blamed Cyberfront for the bad business practices, but I dunno...

People simply fail to realize how big smartphones are in Japan.

When you cater to ignorant morons who feel companies should only make what they want, this is what happens.

I really hope the vast majority of Siliconera's readers see this, and take the hint that it's finally time to shut the f*ck up about it.

What the heck are you talking about. It's their move into the smartphone market that killed them. They tried to ride the wave of phone games and it was the end for them.

I got from the article that this company's mobile games were not successful, which is why they are closing, not that they didn't make any mobile games. In that case, they did what you are saying companies need to do; they just didn't find enough of an audience to succeed.
