Today at 1pm Japan Time, Square Enix will be outlining its plans for a friendly takeover troubled game maker Tecmo. Square Enix's takeover would help the company gain a stronger foothold in the U.S. market with popular Tecmo titles like the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive games. What's more, Tecmo's games will help strengthen Square Enix's current portfolio, which is heavily dependent on RPGs.

This isn't the first time Square Enix has moved in on a beleaguered company. In August 2005, Square Enix acquired Taito and wholly owned the company as a subsidiary by September 2005.

This means that Dead Fantasy can come to life!

Heh, I doubt Dead Fantasy will ever become a game... but still. I've never really been a fan of Techmo or the DoA series. Just because Squenix is pushing them isn't going to make me want it any more.

*checks up on the status of Dead Fantasy III*

Hmm... How did the aquisition of Taito work out? S-E didn't ruin their games, did they?

Hmm, the Sqenix monster strikes again.

Uh oh, hope DoA and Fatal Frame don't go sour.

DoA I could care less about... but seeing Fatal Frame having ties to Sqeenix feels uncomfortable.

Fatal Frame is already sour.

I hope it being a Square title makes people less willing to play that garbage.
