Looks like one of the most interesting potential titles for the DS and Wii may be no more. AGFRAG, the studio developing the Bob Ross game, is no longer dealing with the property. The reason? Ever popular and amorphous "legal reasons," though Joseph Hatcher, head of AGFRAG, indicated that the game may not be canceled. His studio is just no longer in any way involved with development of the title. Our fluffy white cloud has a slim silver lining, at least -- but for now, who knows if and when we'll see a real joy of painting on Nintendo systems.
Happy little trees in jeopardy!
