Didn't make it into history Posts: 733 Group: Members Member #16,621 Joined: July 7, 2008 Gender Female	Reading this, I'm not suprised. I remember reading somewhere that one of Techmo's main men quit over some money denial issue or something. Well, as long as we still get all our games (hopefully Techmo's games won't go down the toilet in the buyout process! Or KOEI's for that matter but Techmo's the weaker company who'll probably get absorbed by KOEI) in as good if not better quality, I'm happy

And also they're both getting their individuality so yeah.

Sakon, has left the topic. Posts: 3,638 Group: Members Member #9,265 Joined: August 19, 2007 Gender Male	Maybe Tecmo didn't like the idea of disappearing under the Square-Enix banner. Although a merger would likely cause a name change/merge as well, interesting to say the least... Too bad I don't really give a stuff about Tecmo games.

"Thanks Partner" - Sheva Alomar Posts: 664 Group: Members Member #7,154 Joined: May 3, 2007	never hurts to try something new but if it does happen Koei should pull every string the very thought of koei making a game based of their women for beach ball saddens me

Ujiyasu is not impressed Posts: 5,567 Group: Global Moderators Member #5,870 Joined: March 1, 2007 Gender Male	For those who haven't read the article: On the heels of rejecting Square Enix's "friendly" takeover, Tecmo announced a merger with Japanese game maker Koei is in the works. Today, talks between both companies commenced for a tentative merger, and an "Integrated Management Committee" was created. Both companies hope to balance each other's portfolios � Tecmo is popular in the West with its fighting franchise Dead or Alive and action series Ninja Gaiden while Koei is popular in Japan (and Asia) for its historical hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors. From the statement issued by Tecmo today: "As the game industry environment changes with high-powered hardware, portable game machines and rapid growth as well as online mobile games, the accelerating consumer needs are varied and sophisticated. The industry has intensified. Multi-platform and the importance of overseas markets is pushing the industry towards global competition. ...Under these circumstances, these two companies have excellent financial positions, strengths and the ability to take advantage of each other in order to improve profitability and solidified the foundation of a worldwide leader. " The statement also acknowledges that both companies are in talks with the aim to integrate management in the future in hopes of creating a "stable and secure environment" as well as respect each other's individuality.

Currently under leave of absence Posts: 1,060 Group: Members Member #12,803 Joined: January 22, 2008 Gender Male	This surprised the hell out of me when I booted up GameSpot. I hope this doesn't alter Koei's name. This isn't the best news, since Tecmo's games are pretty lackluster, to say the least. I could definitely see a new Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors fighter coming from Tecmo's end. The original DW for PSOne wasn't that good, but I guess if they want to take advantage of the merger, then let Tecmo do what they do best with one of Koei's franchises. I could see a DW or SW character being in the next DOA, though. That's an over 90% chance, I think. That is, if this goes through. I'll keep my eyes peeled on this for sure.
	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. -MegaXtreme

Tiger General Posts: 449 Group: Members Member #9,544 Joined: September 7, 2007	I think together they can make more and better games. I self think on a Dynasty Warriors Series, between 900-1000 Ad, maybe with Tecmo together such a serie, can come faster.

Posts: 4,284 Group: Members Member #7,714 Joined: June 2, 2007	Good luck to them with the merge (take your time in merging, it's not something to be rushed), with both of the firms producing somewhat different genres of games, if they combine their ideas and game mechanics, we could be seeing a lot of great titles in the future. The only thing I'm concerned about is the company name, if they're going to have a merge, I doubt KOEI and Tecmo will remain as separate logos, which is disappointing.

a very lost person Posts: 3,982 Group: Members Member #7,897 Joined: June 11, 2007 Gender Male	Im still not too sure if I would be excited about this or not. I have personally never liked DOA, and would be extremely disapointed if some of the things that have been put toward DOA or ideas get pushed toward the likes of DW or SW, they just dont fit. I would be much happier to see a merge of another company with Koei. From what ive known of Koei, I kind of doubt they would agree to this as this is deffinitely the push of Tecmo.

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. Yeah the name will be weirder than before...
