1UP's James Mielke is, in general, not pleased about the prospect of a
Koei-Tecmo merger. He imagines the company's
Team Ninja franchises milked incessantly in the manner of Koei's
Dynasty Warriors games, with an annual release supported by endless
Xtreme Legends and
Empires versions and mega-multiplatform ports. Of course, that's taking it to the
Xtreme. In the course of complaining about the two companies' venality, he drops an interesting bit of behind-the-scenes info about the development of
Rygar: The Battle of Argus.Apparently, the port was conceived as a cheap-to-develop game (surprise!), but ended up "so disastrous and unportable that Tecmo had to go back to the drawing board with it." That would certainly explain all the delays. Next time you complain about PS2-to-Wii ports, remember this! Companies are working
very hard to bring you all those games from 2002.

It will be a nice and welcome suprise if this game doesn't suck. This game could actually do well if it's quality during the holiday season.
