Talk:Clover Studio

Why'd it get dissolved?

Anyone know?--Charizardpal 20:17, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

GameSetWatch covered the topic pretty well; essentially the problem was financial. Capcom invested blockbuster-scale funds and expected smash hits, which caused overall financial loss. Faunis 06:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm confused... So did Clover develop Viewtiful Joe or did Production Studio 4? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.236.240.190 (talk) 02:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Viewtiful Joe and Okami weren't smash hits?!?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 03:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Okami and Viewtiful Joe are great games, but went unnoticed because they went by the production name Clover, instead of Capcom, so they received lesser reception than they should.

andriasang.com

It was cited on this page as a reference. The site gives summaries of Japanese language articles in English. WP:VG/S lists it as reliable. My question is: Wouldn't it just make more sense to cite the actual original Japanese article directly? andriasang isn't really reporting anything, just translating and summarizing, thus it isn't really a news source at all, but a translation service. They're also giving condensed summaries rather than direct ones. They also appear to only be using the online versions of the news sites, so these can be accessed by anyone.

The site is now dead, and appears to be a self-published blog. All the posts are listed under the "blog" section of the site, and it appears to be written by one person. I have a real wariness about using self-published blog type sites in general, and would prefer to avoid that. The original Japanese sites are very high quality, and I also feel that the original Japanese sites should be given more credit on Wikipedia for their reporting.

For that reason, I decided to replace the reference to the original Famitsu page. Harizotoh9 (talk) 06:06, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
