Destructoid is reporting that Archime DS will be released in the U.S.A this May under the new name of L.O.L. But is it a new name at all?
No! It’s not. What’s mildly amusing about this name change is that Kenichi Nishi’s original working title for Archime DS was L.O.L - standing for Laugh Out Loud. [...]

But that’s not all. Nishi-san was also good enough to email me. He thanked [...]

While you wait for the post I promised on Day 1, here’s a nice little extra for you.

So, you’re probably wondering why I’ve started a blog about an obscure Japanese developer that no longer exists. Well, let me tell you…
