First Free Radical, now Factor 5?

We've all probably heard the news: Free Radical Design has officially closed its doors and the TimeSplitters franchise is still up in the air. Well now it seems another company is going downhill.

According to inside sources over at IGN, Factor 5 has gone under as well. Considering how long it has been around, it's a shame to see them go under. With them supposedly developing the next Kid Icarus game for Nintendo, one wonders what may happen to the franchise now? Perhaps Nintendo, with all its new-found wealth, will make like the US government and bail them out?

I still want them to make Star Fox Wii. But this is a lot like Free Radical, made some awesome games last gen however this gen made a bad game for the PS3 and are now dying. Supposedly.

Yeah, why is Nintendo ditching Star Fox? That would be cool...

I was confident they could do it after Rouge Squadron series but no..they *apparently* get Kid Icarus not Star Fox.

Nintendo should, but they won't. Because Nintendo are mostly concerned with casual titles at the moment. So Factor 5 is probably a goner.
