Bandai and Namco To Merge

Entertainment company Bandai announced today that they've purchased game creator Namco and as of September of this year will be merging into a single company. From the article: "Bandai shares fell 2.5 percent to 2,335 yen as of 2:27 p.m. in Tokyo, after dropping as much as 3.8 percent. Namco shares rose 8.8 percent to 1,530 yen, headed for their biggest gain since November 2003. The companies' shares were suspended for the first one and a half hours of trading, following an earlier report of the merger plan by the Nihon Keizai newspaper."

"So long as they dont butcher tekken, I guess its ok."

• Glad we've got your approval. I'll inform management that they can proceed with the merger.

Just imagine...

Ridge Racer cars shaped like Hello Kitty. Tekken consisting solely of characters from Digimon and a world where your main targets in Ace Combat are shaped like the star of freakin' Cowboy BeBop.

The future is...wait a bit...not yet...now!

Fight for Life is so much better

Tekken? That's that shitty fighting game for the PSX/2 right? Everyone knows the best 3D fighter is Fight for Live on the Atari Jaguar. And Shadow for the 3DO is the best fighter period. If they made Tekken 6 more like DOA... i would so play it... or brought back Gon.

Merge?
