Square Enix taking over Tecmo
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
It’s no secret that Tecmo has had a lot of trouble as of late. For that reason, it may be no surprise that Square Enix is planning on taking over the company. Kotaku reports that Square will officially confirm the move at 1PM Japan time. This is not the first time Square Enix has pulled off something like this. In 2005, the company additionally acquired Taito, eventually taking over completely later that year.

Will Wright claims E3 is like a zombie
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
“It almost feels like a zombie at this point; it’s the walking dead. It’s such an abrupt end to what was E3, which had been this huge escalating arms race. I understand why they really pulled the plug on the big E3. Looking at the amount of money a company like EA would spend on it, it was ridiculous amounts of money just to be present and competitive with everyone else, so I think they were looking for a way to sign the arms treaty and de-escalate the whole thing.” – Will Wright
I do have to agree with Will Wright. I remember just a few years back – 2006 even – when E3 wasn’t so terrible. This year, however, the whole event lacked the fire, and the traditional simply didn’t feel like the E3 most of us had come to love. Someone, bring back the old E3!
