Last week it was reported that Jaleco Holdings has withdrawn from the video game business. That move leaves one major Wii title – Kizuna – in trouble. However, a few recent findings relating to the game may indicate that the game is in no trouble at all. The copyright date from Kizuna has been updated to 2009 and there have been two website notices in the past few days to let fans know that a blog and forum have opened.
