EA to Japanese Developers: All Your Base Are Belong To Us!
by Ishida
We’ve been hearing news about EA acquiring Take Two, Ubisoft, 2K and other developers. Recently EA has been making moves to "acquire" Japanese Game developers. Well, the correct term is to "partner" with these developers anyway. EA has been hot with its new partnership program signing up Japanese developers such as Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil Creator). There is also a rumor that Hideo Kojima (famed creator of the Metal Gear series) has signed up on the partnership.
It appears there will be a great deal of possible new IPs developed from Japanese studios but are good as home-grown to the US.
