Square-Enix to buy Taito
My Gaming Collection (Now at Google Drive!)
no way, what the fuck? Damn I love taito..
"....best known for games such as Puzzle Bobble and Graffiti Kingdom."
Um, excuse me, but what about FUCKING SPACE INVADERS!?!
Great, does this mean the next Bubble Bobble game will begin with a 40 minute long, unskipable cut scene about Bub having a bad hair day?
no, it just means the next bubble bobble game will be called "bust-a-move 4 part 2"Originally Posted by joshnickerson

as long as taito are not absorbed into square-enix completley it could be pretty cool.. taito being a sub division of such a major japanese player not to mention a company which has close links with EA means that they will be able to make more titles for us gamers... plus this deal does give another area of exploitation within the realms of the cross-over genre, can you imagine it now that they are all part of the same company maybe we could see a game featuring major taito characters interacting with square characters
Call me crazy, but I'm not really wishing
"Man, I really wish these Square-Enix charaters would be put into these Taito games. Seriously!"
And, call me even crazier, I doubt many people are. But, as long as they dont mess with anything, this dosn't seem to bad.

ya, what about it.
bust-a-move 4-2no, it just means the next bubble bobble game will be called "bust-a-move 4 part 2"

If Taito isn't best known for Space Invaders, the first massively popular Japanese-designed video game, something is seriously wrong. Taito=Space Invaders. End of discussion.ya, what about it.
ahh, so that's why kingdom hearts 2 got delayed so much, had to wait for this deal to get through to handle the new bonus worlds

wonderful, the Arkanoid RPG
Squeenixio! Or maybe just Squainix?

If Square puts Cloud in Space Invaders, there will be hell to pay.
And, if they use Quest to make another Ogre Battle game, I swear it better not have one single Final Fantasy reference.
Is Square going to be Japan's equivalent to EA games?
I never understood why this track was called "Last Springsteen". Then it hit me, Bruce Springsteen goes under the nickname "The Boss"
We're looking at this in the wrong way. This means some Square characters could have action games, or maybe Taito could help with the Final Fantasy Minigames. Or-maybe-A REVENGE OF THE NINJA/NINJA HAYGATE RPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! Please make it, if something was good as an FMV game, it can be good as anything!

Zelda is NOT an RPG.
Square can offically suck my bubble bobble balls. This really sucks ass! Square is too much like EA right now and it's not looking good...
The day a final fantasy character shows up in a Taito game...is the day that I know for sure, the future of games is doomed...well not really..just Taito selling out to the man yo!...no wait...lemme re-word that.....Ah yes...Taito will have to commit a respectful samurai suicide for disgracing their hertiage and name to sell out..."kanashii" -->....
These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
Yeah, I can see that. Y'know, whenver I think "Taito" I immediately think "Double Dragon".
I'm not sure if any actual crossover kind of games will happen, but hopefully some new games will come out of this. But like most of you I'm pessimsitic about the future.
I would like to see more Time Gal, if they do it right.
And if this news wasn't bad enough...

I liked Square in the 16 bit days. But now the that the top priority is "OMG, HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I GIVE THE STOCKHOLDERS?! Who can I screw to make my stocks more valuable?(the consumers!) Oh God, I hope Disney offers to buy us!" Then they'll be too afraid to take risks, and just make clones of the last big thing that made money.
So I like how everyone calls them Square when it's Enix that owns them all.

Wow, I'm glad that Taito isn't just going out of business with noone buying them, that would really suck, I'm glad any company is acquiring the rights to their games so we will still see future releases, whether they're good games or not.
