Skip Ltd.: History and Key Facts

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. 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. By August 2020, it was reported that the company may have become defunct. In March 2024, a former employee confirmed the company had shut down.

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.
