"Trade of Tecmo and Koei stock at the Tokyo Stock Exchange has been halted as of the PM on the 4th. The evening edition of the Nikkei Shinbun dated the 4th reports that both parties will begin merger discussions. "

I still dont see why MS wont buy them...

I think all of the hate they got when they bought companies liek Rare is causing them to stop all the buying...

Thread did not get enough attention.

Tecmo formally rejected the SquareEnix offer and decided to merge with Koei.

Bizarro move to be sure.

Great idea now lets look at what they have already done together:

Rygar Wii port was 'so disasterous' that they had to start over? September 4th, 2008

1up's James Mielke really doesn't like the idea of Tecmo and Koei joining forces. Perhaps that's why he is spilling the beans on why it took Tecmo so long to bring Rygar to the Wii

But both companies are legendary for their cheapness (see: Tecmo's repurposing of a 5 year-old PS2 game — Rygar — as a $500,000 quickie port to the Wii, a project which proved so disastrous and unportable that Tecmo had to go back to the drawing board with it, at nearly three times the cost of what they were trying to achieve in the first place)

Koei has always held a weird place in my heart. I know their stuff is pretty weak, but I play it anyway. Never been into tecmo, but they do some quality work from what I've seen. Now the question here is will tecmo bring Koei up, or will Koei bring Tecmo down? In the end, I'm not sure how I feel about this merger idea.

Seriously, I mean, did they detest SE that much to merge with Koei. I really so no benefit Tecmo is getting out of this.

No benefit? Maybe they don't want to be wholly owned by another company. That's enough incentive to merge with another company so that you still have some control of your own stocks.

Plus, Koei is not the worst developer ever.

Yeah never played a game from them that I liked.

Tecmo needs to merge with someone that is strong when comes to story and art design since that's where they are most oftenly are lacking.

That blows. I have not played a good game from Koei in forever. Romance of the three kingdoms got old many years ago. Dynasty Warriors was the next big hit for Koei and that was great at first but they just are not improving dynasty warriors like it needs to be. They need to add blood, be able to cut off arms, legs, heads etc.... They need to make the AI much better and include more strategy. I don't this will ever happen and I truely believe that the best of dynasty warriors has come and gone and it was best around the time when it first came out on the ps2.
