Skip Ltd. (stylized as SKIP) was a Japanese video game developer that had a close relationship with Nintendo. Nintendo published all of their Japanese releases; with the only notable exception being LOL (Archime DS), which Skip published independently. The company's staff included prominent developers from Love-de-Lic such as Kenichi Nishi and Keita Eto.[1] In October 2019, it was reported by OneControllerPort.com that the company had changed its name to Skip Inc. the previous year and had become inactive on all social media.[2] By August 2020, it was reported that the company may have become defunct.[3] In March 2024, a former employee confirmed the company had shut down.[4]
In 2024, a number of former Chibi-Robo! developers started Tiny Wonder Studio, a new game development studio. Their first game, koROBO, was announced in July 2024.[5]
