Square Enix willing to pay a premium for Tecmo shares - Image 1More incoming on the Square Enix - Tecmo talks. Square Enix recently sent out a statement explaining what they're willing to give for Tecmo. Apparently, Square Enix is willing to pay a premium for controlling interest in Tecmo.

According to the arrangement being offered by Square Enix, the company is willing to pay a 30% premium on the shares they'd like to buy from Tecmo.

The actual yen value fluctuates, but essentially, instead of paying approximately 710 yen (US$ 6.50) per share, Square Enix is willing to pay approximately 923 yen (US$ 8.50) per share to acquire a controlling interest in Tecmo.

Tecmo's board of directors have until September 4 to respond to Square Enix's offer. If the offer is rejected, Square Enix has stated that it will withdraw its offer.

If Squeenix takes over Tecmo then Ninja Gaiden could make its way to the PS3 without having to get a 360 and that would be a real money saver...I mean Squeenix will make that game multi-platform because they love their money so much

» nyr2k2 I agree

I didn't care much for the Playstation 2 game trapped but I fondly remember Tecmo's Deception for Playstation 1. Man that game was fun and addicting! My friend and I had great times with that one. I hope the release that game on the Playstation Store too because I would buy it.

Ninja Gaiden? Why the hell would we want that? It's M$ who want our exclusives, not the other way around. I didn't see the fuss with Sigma on the PS3. Ohh 1080p... Ohh Ninja... Ohh mediocre...



If you want Ninja Gaiden 2, get a 360. They're cheaper than a Wii and M$ chuck in 3 years for RROD because it will happen, it's just a matter of time...
