Another CEO has joined in the call for a PS3 price cut. Unlike that other guy, however, this one's being way more polite. He used "please", for one thing. More after the jump.

After the Ninja Gaiden dojo, Tecmo, and Dynasty Warrior factory, Koei, completed their merger last April, the newly-formed Koei Tecmo Holdings is now hard at work on a crossover title, combining IPs from both publishers to launch a new one. Time to review those Koei and Tecmo titles so we can all play guessing games as to which IPs will be making it to the new Koei Tecmo title.

I'm personally baffled and not all too keen about Koei Tecmo's proposition of  incentivizing their staff to expand their families. Maybe they do need the population in their headquarters' town. But what I am sure of is that the news and updates here at QJ are expanding and on their own, beyond the shadows of E3.The (post) event updates have considerably slowed down, but in its place are new items and updates to buzz about, like a new custom firmware, executives' gripes about leakages in the industry, and pushing forth the race of this generation from mere hardware to motion control. It's all right here, so dig in.

Waiting for Warriors Orochi Z to cross to North American shores? Sorry guys, but it's not happening. A Koei representative confirmed that the company did have plans of bringing the game over as Warriors Orochi: The Collective. That's right: "did".

I love playing Dynasty Warriors, but I can't help but laugh at the Dynasty Warrior-factory remarks thrown at Koei. Man, talk about bread and butter. In fact, if you check Koei's lineup at their site, seven of the nine games in the console/PC division are DW-related, five of nine for portable. Basing its story from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the game was better received in the East than the West. That's where Warriors: Legends of Troy comes in. More after the jump.

The global population may be ballooning like mad, but Koei Tecmo seems to think that there aren't enough Dynasty Babies to form a strikeforce. If China has the One-Child policy to discourage procreation, Koei Tecmo does the exact opposite, providing monetary incentives for their employees to have more babies.

Just out of the presswire, it looks like Namco Bandai won't be the only publisher with a four-game booth. At least, that's what the announcements have been telling us so far. But what makes this E3 special for Koei is that it'll be the first time for them to publicly debut new titles outside Japan. What those are, you'll find out after the jump.

The time of controversy and lawsuits have passed. Team Ninja has moved on and so have Tomonobu Itagaki and his crew of ex-Team Ninja members. Teaming up with young but skilled engineers, the new team is now hard at work on a new game. Speaking with James Mielke of 1UP, Itagaki and his right-hand men spill a few droplets of detail (and scotch) to give us an idea of what they're up to.

Swine flu strikes again. The threat posed by the H1N1 virus has resulted in Square Enix and Koei cutting the number of their staff attending this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. Details in the full article.

Get your Musou on, boys and girls, Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires (PS3,  Xbox 360) just got dated for the US, less than a week after Koei announced the European release. This latest installment to the tale of the Three Kingdoms will feature all the one-man-armying goodness that the franchise is best known for, plus a few extra tweaks just to make sure we keep coming back for more.
