Publishers edit

I'm fairly certain that while Natsume did publish the first Telefang games, Smilesoft published 2 themselves. I'll have to look around some more, but I do know that Natsume had a Telefang page on their site at one point (it's still there, just not linked to anything: http://www.natsume-game.com/fang.html ) but as far as I know there was never anything for Telefang 2 there. Also, Smilesoft's pages listed Telefang as ©2000 Smilesoft / Natsume / Kodansha Publishing but Telefang 2 only as (c)2002 Smilesoft Co, Ltd. RacieB 10:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I suppose it's worth investigating. Furthermore, Dino Device seems to have been published by Smilesoft anyway, so it's a possibility. —Typhlosion 04:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, looking at the archived Dino Device page on Rocket Company's site, it's only listed as (c)2002 スマイルソフト (while Dino Device 2 is of course listed as (c)2003 Rocket Co.,Ltd., having been made after Smilesoft passed the rights on.) RacieB 02:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

When you start up Telefang 2, the second screen has a Natsume logo. And the title screen has "Natsume" on the bottom... [1] [2] I'm confused here. O_o TanookiMario257 04:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

"the company's president was arrested" edit

Anyone have information on this event, preferably in English? EllipsesBent 00:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, I clicked on one of the references ("SIT Developer Table") and took the Japanese text and ran it through Google's translator from Japanese to English. It does indeed say that he was arrested. That is, if the translator is accurate... the Engrish is worse than the bootleg Pokémon games... TanookiMario257 04:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
