Looks like KOEI will be renamed TECMO KOEI in America according to this news. I guess they are going to try to gain some more popularity with TECMO in their name.

It doesnt exactly say that anywhere. And throughout that entire article they keep saying Tecmo Koei Holdings, in which that is wrong.

I mean it looks like the way you say it, but they could just have it mixed around as they have it mixed with the main.
"A new tentatively named Tecmo Koei America Corporation will be formed as a direct subsidiary to Tecmo Koei Holdings" the bold, they are talking about Japan, which is Koei Tecmo, not the way they put it.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet but...

Apparently Tecmo and KOEI are gonna make a mix of their games. No real titles revealed yet but I red about this some time ago and got confused when it wasn't posted on Koeiwarriors so...

Oh, I found it on a swedish site. It's a trustworthy site so I serisously doubt that this would be a lie. Here's the link if anyone else here knows swedish.

Wow, you're so lucky LittleDragonZ, I'm so envious! :XD

The merge in Europe is good news I guess, Koei will get more recognition! I'm sure TKE will have a good start with Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma as their first title, following by Warriors: Legends of Troy!

26th June, Koei had merged with Tecmo to create the new company, TECMO KOEI.

Posted Image

In London on that day, the new brand company had launched it's party to celebrate this event. Luckily I was there among 100 guests full of trades, journalists, special guests, Koei/Tecmo staff, and prize winners, from all parts of the world.

The day started with arriving, having a drink - which the food and drink were free, meeting people whom I already knew, some I didn't and were introduced to. Having my photo taken with Mr. Hayashi the producer of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Then after a short while we were all ready for the main presentation which Koei, Vice President Will Curley, introduced the special guests:

Mr. Matsubara, CEO of Koei
Mr. Hayashi, Producer of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT EUROPEiSCEE) EVP & Co-COO, Jim Ryan

Each of them stood and gave their speeches, welcoming and talking a bit about their hopes and thoughts of the videogaming company merger. However, one person behind Sony was, SCEE President & CEO & Co-COO, Andrew House, who unfortunately could not attend though gave a video speech congratulating the company and his best wishes.

We managed and witnessed the first world exclusive gameplay footage of Momiji, the new heroine of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, too.

Posted Image

After the few speeches a Q&A session commenced, asking as you would expect guests to know lots about, very narrowed down questions that were clearly answered by Mr. Hayashi. Mr. Matsubara stood but did not receive any himself since the Q&A focused on the upcoming game, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. So it was all eyes and attention on Mr. Hayashi and his translator.

When the presentation was over and being a huge success, it was back to socializing, meeting and greeting people, as well as the food. The food was luxurious and looked very well presented. Sharing the room with the gaming pods, there were many stalls for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Only a small corner for Koei's latest incoming product, Warriors Orochi 2 for the PSP. Though we managed to get a glimpse of the two new characters for this port.

Posted Image

From here the closing part of the day, it was more or less the same thing, taking pictures, having photos with the only two cosplayers of the event promoting Rachel and Momiji from the headlined title. My day ended in spectacular fashion, shacking the hand of Mr. Matsubara and having a few pictures taken with him with world-recognized cosplayer & member, Laura Sindall (aka Sands), and her friend Joe Stephens.

Posted Image

I'd like to thank for the opportunity, it all went very smoothly, was exciting all throughout, and generally was a fantastic day to end this company merger. Best wishes to it's success.
