Wipeout HD is awesome, it's like F-Zero had a baby with the good parts of Mario Kart.

As a matter of fairness, might as well report any Wii centric devs that go under, however rare that may be.

Deep Silver Vienna (developer of Cursed Mountain) goes under.

Besides Cursed Mountain, what else have they developed?

According to the article, Cursed Mountain was that developer's first title. Being a Wii 3rd party core game, it (naturally) flopped and took the developer with it.

Then again, I'm a core Wii gamer with a love of survival horror and they never made me want their game, so perhaps the game deserved to flop. :-\ If I remember correctly, it also released in the same window as Metroid Prime Trilogy, another core Wii game that didn't sell. Perhaps those two ate into each other's sales?

Looking over their list of games on Wikipedia, the only notable games they ever made were the Lemmings and Wipeout games. No big loss there.

That's a HUGE loss if they developed Wipeout HD. They nailed that game.
