POPSSquare Enix's Next Fantasy: Owning Tecmo 'Tis the season for videogame industry consolidation. Analysts and industry experts continue to point out that that's the theme in the current growth cycle. Big companies will continue to snap up little companies (allowing more indies and veteran-helmed start-ups to flourish) for the foreseeable future. I personally don't spend much time following the Japanese market (outside a few key players of course), but from a snap judgment assessment, it seems like a good pairing. It would give Square Enix's limited portfolio of games outside the role-playing genre a boost, and it would also provide a safety net for Tecmo, which recently lost its rock star Tomonobu Itagaki ("Ninja Gaiden"). The real question: Is Tecmo worth acquiring sans-Itagaki?
