FuRyu is known in the Nintendo scene for its RPGs The Legend of Legacy and The Alliance Alive. The studio is also publishing Work x Work and Beyblade Burst: Battle Zero on Switch in Japan later this year.
In its latest shareholder report, FuRyu stated that it will “temporarily suspend” its games business, though current titles in production will not be affected. President and CEO Takashi Mishima explained that the company was “struggling to recover our heavily invested games business, and growth in the main business was also sluggish, which led to a major disparity from the overall initial plan.”

What Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition does better than what came before, from a really big fanatic
Posted 5 years ago by Vincent Ward in Features, Switch | 0 comments
I originally reviewed Hyrule Warriors on Wii U as well as the 3DS version on Nintendo Everything previously, so you can deduce that yes, I did dip into both previous versions of this game already. Except I didn’t stop there. I didn’t just put in a good 10-15 hours, as embarrassing as it is to admit – that’s not even close.
