http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/02/news_6123385.html Comepared to the Sega/Sammy merger, thats a good one. Hell, I even confuse Bandai games with Namco ones from time to time, so it sounds pretty good.
Bandai were going to merge with Sega a few years back. All was looking good until one or the other pulled out of the deal. Probably would have been better than the Sega Sammy deal we have now. Yakumo
Bandai pulled out of that deal. I even remember a 3-4 page spread in Saturn Magazine, so it was very official. The newsbit I read referred to rumors of a Sega Namco merger which I had never heard of. Bandai puts out a handful of good games, but there's a LOt of turd ones to wade through.
I heard the intended Bandai-Sega merger killed off the Pippin... pretty sour that the merger didnt go through.
Comming to a Japanese video game system near you. Its the all new Gundam transforming pacman game. Battle it out in space against the evil ghost federation! from Banco/namdai
i heard bandai is buying out namco, so is not a merge xD,but my sources could be wrong "crappy spanish site"
They are wrong, the official source is talking about a joint holding company. Edit: Mmm they're also talking about an aquisition...
