Final Fantasy Extreme Beach Volleyball
Square's made an offer to absorb Tecmo. This acquisition is being compared to the Blizzard/Activision, which I think, quite frankly, is apples and oranges. All about it here.
I'm particularly interested in how this is going to impact the respective group's IP. It's clear that Square is wearing the pants in this relationship, and has done so for all its prior acquisitions, but Tecmo nevertheless has a decent repertoire of titles that are more than capable of standing on their own. Course, chances are this will be just another boring shift of which profits go where, and the games themselves are left alone. That might be optimal.
Even more fun, though less likely, a name change?
"Square Enix Tecmo?" bleah.
How about "Square Emo" or "Squeemo?"
