Ninjas Infiltrate the Three Kingdoms




In probably one of the stranger mergers this year, developers Tecmo and Koei have merged with the approval of their shareholders. Tecmo's probaby best known for their Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden games while Koei does work on the very niche Romance of the Three Kingdoms games -- which are based on the novels that are. themselves based on Chinese history -- as well as the equally niche and somewhat well worn Dynasty Warriors games where you mindlessly hack your way through hundreds of enemy soldiers.

It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this if anything. Either Ryu Hayabusa is going to become the next Chinese warlord or all the female characters in the Romance series are suddenly going to develop double Ds.
