Tecmo-Koei Merger Paves Way for Ninja Crossovers
Thanks to the downright silly amount of ninjas, samurais, and various sword-wielding warriors in their respective franchises, the Tecmo-Koei merger has resulted in a pool of characters to swap between titles.
Upcoming Dynasty Warriors title Multi Raid will feature console-specific guest appearances by Ninja Gaiden's Ryu (PS3) and Warriors Orochi's Nu Wa (360). In addition, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 will include costumes of Multi Raid's Sun Shang Xiang and Zhao Yun. This is all well and good, but I'm still waiting on the announcement that Bo Jackson from Tecmo Bowl will be unlockable in the new Samurai Warriors, complete with his patented Stiff Arm Frenzy Musou attack.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
