  • Clover Studio (「クローバースタジオ株式会社」?; Kurōbāsutajio Kabushikigaisha) was an independent Japanese development studio, funded by Capcom Japan. Clover Studio developed the PlayStation 2 port of Viewtiful Joe, both versions of Viewtiful Joe 2 for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2, and the PlayStation 2 titles Ōkami and God Hand. The name "clover" is supposedly an abbreviation of "creativity lover"; however, according to Insert Credit's more recent interview with Clover's CEO Atsushi Inaba, the name Clover derives from the Japanese syllables mi ("three") and ba ("leaf") coming from the names of Shinji Mikami and Clover's Atsushi Inaba. On October 12 2006, a Capcom Co., Ltd. Board of Directors meeting resolved to dissolve Clover Studio. The dissolution occurred at the end of March 2007. All of Clover's intellectual properties defaulted back to Capcom, leaving the possibility open for further sequels. God Hand was the last game developed by Clover. Talent from Clover has regrouped to form Seeds Inc., a new development group, which in October 2007 merged with another company (ODD Incorporated) to form Platinum Games.
