koeilogo

Koei’s announced record earnings, proving it’s not all bad in Japan. Just not especially good, is all.

For the nine months ending December 31, Koei sales rose ¥163 million compared to the previous year, up up to ¥20.1 billion total.

Profit lifted ¥968 million to ¥4.5 billion.

PSP game Musou OROCHI The Devil King’s Second Coming, among others, was cited as the reason for the cash avalanche.

The announcement is one of Koei’s last as a standalone company: it merges with Tecmo on April 1.

    This news is total yay. I <3 Koei. Long live Dynasty Warriors! (Though a proper next-gen version with all sorts of character costume customisation and pet tigers would be nice).

  2. DW: GUNDAM 2 is excellent, btw. Well done, Koei. Now get onto iNiS and demand a Gitaroo Man sequel.

    Gitaroo vs Ouendan Musou, pls.

  4. That sounds incredible.
