[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 495118, member: 8461"] Looking back over the recent news, this merger really isn't that much of a surprise. Before this, Namco, Enix, and Square had all bought 5% in each other's stock, and had worked hard to strengthen ties between themselves. Given that, my main question is where does Namco fit into the picture now? That said, its interesting that even though Enix is the one absorbing Square, the president of Square now will lead the new company, Square Enix. As one of the last great Nintendo die-hards, Im hoping and praying that the "Megaton" announcement from Nintendo involves this somehow (it would be the right time, since it'd be several months before the merger, which takes place on April Fool's Day, which, poetically, is the first day of the new fiscal year). Despite the new president of Nintendo previously uttering harsh criticism at what he saw of FFXI, new plans like FF Tactics for GBA and FF Crystal Chronicles seem like a good sign for the future (especially considering Nintendo has also been doing some recent business with Enix...love those Dragon Quest games for Game Boy).
