Dodece said: I wonder if everyone has forgotten that Tomonobu Itagaki has left Tecmo. I wonder if everyone has forgotten what he said about the company. A little something about the company having a hostile environment, and that they were not paying bonuses that they promised. I am not so worried about Tecmo as I am worried for Square. They could end up snatching up a powder keg likely to explode.
I honestly cannot see how this could or would be a positive step for Square. There are many developers with fewer issues that would be better acquisitions. |
I doubt they give a crap about Tecmo themselves. Square is after the franchise rights. Ninja Gaiden, Rygar, Tecmo Bowl, Dead or Alive, Fatal Frame, Deathtrap Dungeon, etc. Those are established franchises that Square doesn't need to put in the effort to branch out past RPGs with.

I just hope S-E won't be making the new NG, DoA, and FF games and let Tecmo make 'em

They let Taito make Space Invaders and Arkanoid for DS and those turned out fine. I wouldn't worry too much. Team Ninja is shit now anyways. The talent is gone. Fatal Frame is basically in the hands of Grasshopper now. I'm suprised it wasn't more noticeable before how badly in shambles Tecmo was.
