If this means we could see more Tenchu games, then... go ahead.

i think they bought From Software, so that they can make video game based on their manga/LN properties.

As long as this doesn't result in a drop of quality in future AC/DS titles, I really don't care. But if it does, then Kadokawa shall never be forgiven for this transgression.

The Kadokawa hostile takeover continues, I don't think Kadokawa getting their hands on Armored Core is a bright idea, we might get another Nexus as a result which is all manners of screwed up. Then again they could make those ACgirl fanart I've seen over the years into an SRPG for the Vita (they are the ones developing Kancolle on Vita), which would be neat.

Nexus is still better than 5 and Verdict Day. Those games were horrendous.

I doubt that since the bulk of thier video game offerings haven't been that.

Not to mention Kadokawa already has a games division for just that.

Tenchu is with acquire who is letting the franchise wallow. Armored core and demon souls will b alright tho. From software basically saved the japanese game industry. Puts them on the same level of the major studios . Looking forward to this. New Armored Core, Souls, and whatever else they come out with

That's not true.

From acquired Tenchu. All of the recent games have been published by From with I think one(the recent Wii one) actually made by Aquire. Aquire even made it's own replacement series.

Also, how did Souls save Japanese video games and from what?
