It’s been a very long time since our first Company Profile, so here’s a long-overdue second. this time around, we’re taking a look at skip, who are, in my opinion, the most important developer to spring from the womb of Lovedelic.

skip have a made a number of minor updates to their website. One was to remove a number of people from their list of staff, mostly from the 24th Division. Kenichi Nishi’s name has finally disappeared, as has that of Hikarin, the woman who did the art for both Chibi-Robo and ArchimeDS.
Where has Hikarin gone? [...]

It’s been so long since skip’s website was last updated - nearly 7 months - that I was starting to fear the worst. The developer’s long silence was finally broken today, however, with the announcement that they’re hiring new staff. This is great news as it obviously means that at least one new game is [...]

Good morning!!! I mean that, hence the exclamation marks. Most Saturday mornings are pretty uneventful times but this particular one is very different because I’ve received an email from the good people at Eegra, informing me that the first part of their exclusive Skip interview is UP.
Though it’s only part one of two, Patrick Alexander’s [...]

It’s friday night and I should be having fun. Instead, I’m being the most boring person on the Internet and randomly searching for Japanese patents. Why, because sometime you find clues to a new and exciting game.
No such luck today but I did find this patent from our good friend Kenichi Nishi. It’s very confusingly [...]

LOL, the UK version of Archime DS now has a page on Amazon where you can pre-order the game for the bargain price of £16.99. It also has a release date of June 13th. I highly recommend that if you’re interested in wild, wacky videogames (why else would you be reading this blog?) then you [...]

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. [...]
Posted in Chibi-Robo, skip on February 23, 2008 | No Comments »
You may or may not know that Chibi-Robo went through many different varitations during it lenghty development time. The game was originally intended to be more like a ‘point-and-click’ and the story was about Chibi rescuing his creator from a group of burglars. That is until Shigeru Miyamoto stepped in and helped skip re-design Chibi-Robo [...]

I sent an email to Kenichi Nishi at Route24, yesterday. You know, just to let him know that this blog existed. He was kind enough to mention the blog on his own site and traffic has increased as a consequence. Thanks Kenichi!
But that’s not all. Nishi-san was also good enough to email me. He thanked [...]

Well, not quite.
Though Giftpia was once almost nearly but not quite translated into English there is now a way for non-Japanese speakers to finally understand and play the game. Click here to see Jason Muir’s comprehensive guide and be sure to bookmark it.
