The canned Chocobo Racing 3DS project didn't quite fit the quality benchmarks for Square Enix.
The game, Chocobo Racing 3D, was in development for Nintendo's portable, but after a quiet period was suddenly cancelled without much clarification as to why. Speaking at Comic Con, Shinji Hashimoto from Square Enix noted how the company, quite simply, wasn't satisfied with how the game had turned out.
If the studio were to "develop it for console", Hashimoto believes that the project should be a "game for adults," but would have concerns as the target audience for the Chocobo series is, Square Enix says, children.
Are you a fan of the Chocobo Racing series - is it really just for children?
