It’s funny how Nintendo wasn’t the first to utilize “Summon character to battle” idea, yet they patented it.
Makes me think of how WB patented the Nemesis System, but Dynasty Warriors actually did it first.

I watched this video yesterday and it’s how I found out we would’ve been in an alternate timeline where Tecmo would’ve been acquired by them and Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden would be seen as Square Enix’s successful franchises. Standing alongside with Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts

Knowing what’s happening with Square. Them being merged with Koei was a blessing in disguise and I would complain but the revival period for the series and NG4 existing alone brings me hope that we’ll definitely see Dead or Alive come back soon for it’s 30th anniversary next year.

1: Koei Tecmo developed Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and that's still a Game Card because Nintendo oversaw development. It would be no different with Ryu Ga Gotoku if they made F-Zero.
2: Ryu Ga Gotoku develops Yakuza and Virtua Fighter. Sega publishes them. They're not the same thing.

I checked the November revenue for mobile resleri yesterday and it has reached the global EoS threshold... considering the banners that ran it's not surprising (Masked Crow, Liebe, Citrine, and some old reruns), but if it continues like this then EoS is inevitable.

Here's something fun.
I've learned that Koei Tecmo has had internal discussions about reviving the Dead or Alive franchise.
This time, however, Team Ninja likely wouldn't be the lead.
