n-Space, a developer with over 20 years of game developing experience, is shutting down.

The news was originally passed along by artist Ben Leary. He shared the following on Twitter yesterday:

n-Space hasn’t done too much with Nintendo platforms as of late, but the company’s work can be seen across several Nintendo platforms. The studio teamed up with the Big N on Geist, created the Call of Duty games on DS, made Heroes of Ruin on 3DS, and more.

While that may seem like a downer, you might be able to secure a copy at stores outside of the UK since there is no exclusivity in other European territories.

Digital Foundry has returned with another game frame rate analysis. This time around, the outlet examines Pokken Tournament. The fighter is able to maintain 60 frames per second for the most part, though it does take a hit in resolution.

Digital Foundry notes that Pokken Tournament runs at 960×720, which is below 720p. This can impact backgrounds and what players see when characters are shown up close.

Take a look at the full analysis below.
