One: Its Kotaku, so I;ll wait till it actually Happens.

Two: The takeover of Taito still hasn't brought about the making of a console Lufia game.

Well that might actually happens, Square Enix would "absorb" Tecmo like they did with Enix. Well i can't wait to hear more, Lets just Hope Square Enix doesn't lose its touch on creating great RPG's and Tecmo's great titles too. If that happens, that is.

Crimsondramon like i told you, KOEI is next. lol

Edit - Snake its Square Enix -_- lol

Spelling mistake. Square Enix,Squeenix..doesn't matter. As far as I care, they're gonna be the next Microsoft. -_-

Well, that's all we know for now, whether this is gonna happen or not will have to wait until further news.

I sure hope Square Enix will be somewhat like Microsoft. Everything started with a single game "Final Fantasy" who would later be one of the most loved/wanted ever...Only those who know the history of Square Enix, know what i mean!

From IGN.com
Quote:
 
Square Enix announced today plans for a friendly takeover of Tecmo.

Under the plan, Square Enix will purchase Tecmo stock at a rate of 920 yen per share, representing a 30% premium over Tecmo's August 28 closing price of 708 yen.

Following a buyout, Tecmo would have a similar status to Taito, falling under a Square Enix holding company and maintaining its company organization and brand.

As reason for the buyout, Square Enix pointed to the ability of Tecmo's development staff to create games for the worldwide market, but noted that recent troubles have left the company in a dangerous state. While the Square Enix statement did not get into the specifics, this is in reference to recent legal issues involving former Team Ninja producer Tomonobu Itagaki, which last week lead to the resignation of Tecmo president Yoshimi Yasuda.

The company hopes to receive a favorable opinion on the buyout from the Tecmo board by September 4. In the event that Tecmo's board does not approve, Square Enix plans on withdrawing the offer and not attempting a buyout.

Square Enix will hold a press conference at 1:00PM Japan time to provide further details.

From the looks of it, pretty much DoA, NG, Fatal Frame and Monster Rancher,excluding the games which had Tecmo infront of them.

So they have until 4 September to decide, Tecmo Staff could be very usefull to Square Enix, probably one of the reasons Dissidia was Delayed??? They want to make FF VS DOA :lol:

Heck no! I don't want DoA in my Dissidia! :lol: Dissidia was delayed to improve on the game system, plus no NG or DoA game have been made for the PSP so it's unlikely that would happen. ^_^

EDIT:

Update on the saga. It seems (of course) they are interested in NG and DoA and they give Tecmo until Sep 4 to decide.

Most interesting. It's too bad I don't think very highly of the Ninja Gaiden and DOA franchises. It's hard to take DOA seriously with girls in bikinis prancing around, as well as a fighting system that emphasizes button mashing. That;s all I ever got from it.

Ninja Gaiden has yet to have impressed me too. I tried the demo for NG Sigma for PS3, and walked away unimpressed. Just a very generic hack 'n slash to me. Nothing new or exciting.

With the current sales details on Ninja Gaiden II selling 1 million copies, at least there is some incentive for Square Enix to pick up the company.

I am currently under leave of absence from the site. I have become tangled up with work and have turned my attention away from the site, as I have unfortunately lost interest and do not have the time to dedicate to it. If you wish to contact me, click on my username to find my MSN and AOL contacts, and I am also on Facebook, as well. Don't worry, I'm not gone forever, and I'll try to be on from time to time when I find the time, and once I regain interest and find more time on my hands, I'll be back. Thank you all for understanding, and see you around.

I'm sort of indifferent on this whole subject. I've found the DOA series to be pretty bland, and I'm indifferent towards Ninja Gaiden. Only game I'm really worried about if Square Enix takes over is the Fatal Frame series.

I hear Fatal Frame is quite good. I could see Square-Enix making a Fatal Frame RPG. That'd be interesting to see.

I'd hate to see Fatal Frame play like a Final Fantasy game. I feel Fatal Frame is fine as is. Much of the scare-factor is in exploring a dark and intimidating environment as a seemingly weak and helpless main character and facing apparitions face to face with nothing more than a camera that can seal spirits away. I personally think that Square Enix gameplay will definitely diminish the fear Fatal Frame is known to foster in its players.

Okay so the news is that Tecmo and Squenix are NOT going to be together.

HOWEVER, KOEI and Tecmo are in talks to have a Tentative merger of sorts

I knew we had to add Ninja Gaiden some time to our site. This is good news and bad news.

First of all, Tecmo has games already that KOEI has like Monster Rancher and Gallop Racer and KOEI has the new Monsters game and G1 Jockey.

Also KOEI could merge into Tecmo which would really suck, but that would probably not happen.


Tecmo doesn't have a whole lot of games and it's easy to see that their in financial trouble (lawsuits).

Well it didn't turn out as Square Enix expected, however the word "Takevover" or absorb Tecmo was a bit harsh. for one way im glad they reject the offer, Square Enix is becoming too greedy, probably sooner or later they will become a great name like Sony, Microsoft etc...

Lets see what will happen now..Merge both companies, will it work??

keep us informed Crimson. ;)

I actually hope they do and don't merge. If they do merge and change the company into a different name and all then it will suck for us, but if its just like what Bandai and KOEI did before then that will be alright.
