After turning down Square Enix's offer for a buyout, Tecmo has announced a merger with Koei! I think this is because the two are equally focused and similarly sized companies, rather than a massive uberdeveloper and a tiny (comparatively) one.
This presents us with even more interesting possibilities for games!
Dead or Alive Warriors Xtreme - imagine killing thousands of similar-looking ninjas... as Kasumi!
Dynasty Warriors Beach Volleyball - ok Joystiq got to this joke first but c'mon! The jiggling of thousands would utterly cripple even the most powerful graphics engines.
