Tecmo has turned down a takeover offer from Square Enix and announced plans to focus on merger talks with fellow Japanese publisher Koei.

Koei plans to hold a news conference regarding a merger with Tecmo later on Thursday following the Ninja Gaiden publisher's decision to knock back Square Enix’s proposal, Reuters reports.

Square Enix previously announced plans to acquire more than half of Tecmo in a deal valued at over $100 million, but the Final Fantasy house said it would not pursue its bid if it was rejected.

Interesting to see that Koei (one of my favorite SNES developers, next to Square, Enix, Taito and Capcom) may take them over.

Ninja Aerobiz Supersonic Gaiden confirmed?

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Don't you know that Ninja Aerobiz Supersonic Gaiden 2: Extreme Legends is already on the way. That game you said is so last week in confirmation.
