Namco, Bandai merging Japanese game ops

Neat, now maybe Namco's success will rub off onto Bandai :)

All I care about is making damned sure Cowboy Bebop comes Stateside!!!

I hope bandai doesn't mess up any of namco's franchises

cooooollll..... Tales of + .Hack.....hmmmmmmmmmmm sound good to me

If namco is the one pulling the strings in the new company i have no problems

ok. now go make some toys, i guess.

... hopefully they can now make a decent game, bandai that is, not namco. just I hope there is no messing up gundam with namco character cameos (pictures pacman in a gumdam ship) *shudder*

Bandai needs this...... Namco doesnt but heck! good luck to them! *ahem.

Yay!!!Hopefully it's for the best! I'm still doubtful though! HOPEFULLY THEY MAKE GUNDAM GAMES BETTER!!!!!!

I like that the games company will almost be a seperate division than all the other crap the companies do. This means better direction and more focus on just the games without the other stuff getting in the way.

It must be good for everyone, especially Bandai...

i think it was a smart move by bandai becase they suck

also maybe YU YU hakasho will be like the ones for Sega Geneisis

Binpo maybe namco can help them make DBZ games better. a series that they already ruined.. same here

Yay, now start pumping out action figures based on Namco games.

YAY!!! Maybe Katamari will come to the 360 now!!!

it could be good

I feel this a good merge especially with all cards on the table.

Bandai does put out some good stuff, but most of it doesn't get released in the US. Hopefully things will work out in our favor.

hope this doesnt flop

Quote: "hope Bandai doesn't ruin the Tekken series." Namco already did that after Tekken 3. :) Seriously though, Bandai is terrible and Namco has steadily been either ruining their good franchises or creating crappy new ones. Frame City Killer looks like it might be alright, but fix Tekken and Soul Calibur first please! (Soul Calibur 3=a step backward)

I hope this merger will provide Bandai with the technical knowledge to make Gundam games with better gameplay. I hope that the merger will not affect the quality of Namco's series.

Didnt Bandai always suck? (power rangers games) anyone?

ur not

that was (i think) an awful move for Namco. Namco is a pretty good company, but merging with Bandai (which has been recently been making crappy games) is gonna ruin some of Namco's great games. I hope i am wrong :(

As long as one doesn't try to bully the other this could be a good deal.

Maybe more Kaiketsu Zorori games :3

What I think is that Namco will teach Bandai something about gameplay. Yeah right!

I only hope for one thing out of this merger. DUAL AUDIO OPTION ON EVERY NEW GAME THEY RELEASE!!!!!!

Yay. More mediocrity.

Optimusv2, that doesn't mean that... A developer making a exclusive for one platform might have another exclusive for another platform.

mergers can be good business, especiallly in the video game biz.

haha sick this means we'll be seeing the budokai or tenkai series on 360 :D

All of the hoops are needed primarily to cover their assets for tax purposes.

Bamco?.........Nandai? Just like the above post....i hope the next DBZ game is ALOT better!!

Sounds great

maybe namco can help them make DBZ games better. a series that they already ruined....

digimon in tekken? i hope not!

This is great. They will help each other and make better games.

hope bandai doesnt ruin the tekken series

This could be a good move it good be a nice thing I just hope they can work together and make it all work out and in the end we can see many more good games coming out.
