Together! As revealed by Nintendo today, these Japanese game makers are collaborating on a mysterious project. It is for the Nintendo 3DS. No other details were given and more will be shared at a later date.
Development on recently announced role-playing-game Magna Carta 2 (which has nothing to do with the actual Magna Carta) first began about four years and eight months ago. What’s taken so long?
Bandai Namco subsidiary Banpresto will be gobbled up. Starting April 1, 2008, Banpresto will be completely merged into the merged BNG megalopolis. Banpresto is best known for publishing Super Robot Wars , the Lupin The Third games and the upcoming Haruhi Suzumiya PS2 title (well, that’s how I know them). Starting next spring, it will focus on making prize games for machines, something the company currently does. Banpresto’s subsidiaries Pleasure Cast and Hanayashiki will become subsidiaries of Namco. There is an explanation for all this: Bandai Namco is merging subsidiary crazy! Seeya Banpresto [IGN]
