Square Enix planning to take over Tecmo
The Tecmo name may soon become just a memory in retrogamers' hearts.
Bloomberg reports that Square Enix is planning a friendly takeover of Tecmo. Tecmo has not yet answered to the offer, but the famed RPG makers are offering to buy stock 30% higher than the current stock price.
The offer follows a Tecmo announcement last week that its profits went down by half and that its president, Yoshimi Yasuda, will quit on September 1st.
Kotaku reports of a press conference where Square Enix president Yoichi Wada commented the brand would be assimilated to Square or Taito (which they acquired in 2005).
He hasn't mentioned of any Final Fantasy / Dead or Alive crossovers, but perhaps in celebration Square has released Super Mario RPG to the Wii Virtual Console.
Thanks to newsdee for this information!

URBAN Super Mario - Some people just got too much time on their hands (whaddup, Cali ;)) and that may lead to something like this: NES Mario with hiphop beats, not replacing the music with mp3s or whatever, no, this time it's been reprogrammed and the NES (or emu) is generating the music. Cool to hear and see :)

UPDATE - Last night, Howie reminded me I needed to update and I guess I should. There was something wrong with the user file, so everyone should be able to update again.
I've been consumed with work (what else is new), music and my N70. S60 does rock slightly ;)
