Today at 1pm Japan Time, Square Enix will be outlining its plans for a friendly takeover troubled game maker Tecmo. Square Enix's takeover would help the company gain a stronger foothold in the U.S. market with popular Tecmo titles like the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive games. What's more, Tecmo's games will help strengthen Square Enix's current portfolio, which is heavily dependent on RPGs.

This isn't the first time Square Enix has moved in on a beleaguered company. In August 2005, Square Enix acquired Taito and wholly owned the company as a subsidiary by September 2005.

I don't think Tecmo would help Squeenix gain anything in NA. They're already pretty fucking huge.

Itagaki's been holding Y for a long time now, all that essence he's been sucking in over the months is going to result in one crazy Ultimate Technique. :lol

Maybe Itagaki will go back, since the management will be decent, post-takeover.

Square-Enix can't handle a man like Itagaki :lol

But on the flip side, S-E really suck at action and fighting games so maybe it's not really a bad choice. Oh wait... :-/

Not really. It wasn't that long ago that they were talking about how they wanted to diversify and expand into other genres via buyouts.

Woah! Final Fantasy Beach Volleyball The Rpg! This will be interesting to see what Square does with DOA and Ninja Gaiden.
