Square Enix apparently wasn’t happy with Chocobo Racing 3D’s quality

Chocobo Racing 3D was one of the first projects announced for 3DS. Sadly, we finally received confirmation last year that the game had been cancelled.

Chocobo Racing 3D’s end seems to have come about – at least partially – because Square Enix wasn’t pleased with its quality.

A rough translation of comments made by Square Enix’s Shinji Hashimoto at the Thailand Comic Con last month reads:

When we checked the quality of the game, we did not satisfy. (so it was cancelled.)
If we would develop it for console, we think it should be a game for adults.(The target of Chocobo series is children.)

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
