Square Enix Moves On Tecmo News

By Jon Wilcox on 29/08/2008 The Final Fantasy publisher has its eyes on the studio behind Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive...

Sales of Ninja Gaiden II may have finally turned platinum, but that doesn't seem to have stopped Tecmo from becoming the focus of a 'friendly takeover bid' from Final Fantasy outfit, Square Enix.

The takeover bid, which has seen Square Enix pitching an offer of 920 Yen per share (around a third of Tecmo's share price on August 28th), is subject to the consent of the Tecmo board, which has until September 4th to reach decision. If Square Enix doesn't receive a response, it has confirmed that it will walk away from the friendly bid - though it's unclear whether their next move will be hostile.

If successful, Square Enix has confirmed that Tecmo would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Square Enix Holdings, and would maintain its organisations and branding.

comparing MGS4 (ps3 only game) to NG2 is like apples and oranges. Arcade action to intractive movie just dumb.

How is it possible that every aspect of this game is lower than MGS4 but it managed to get the same score?

My god, what have good games or bad games or classic games got to do with Bill Gates or Sony? Why can't everybody just enjoy good games? Honestly, I gotta hand it to MS this gen for giving us superb games.

Ok, Ninja Gaiden if awsome. I can not wait to play it. By the by, I love hearing you all talk about "Game" politics, where schewed and uniformed ethical views are expressed as haphazardly as a game of the WNBA. You make my days brighter you know that. Games are an esscape. If you are gonna get worked up over politics, do so over the politics that matter. Between you and me, its election time.So be a capitalist, make tons of money, own all the consoles and none of this will matter.
