Namco Bandai Q1 Profits Fall

Namco Bandai reported its quarterly net profit, which was just above 1 billion JPY (9.2 million USD), or a 63% drop compared to the same quarter last year.

It seems that the console games section was the only profitable arm for Namco, with the PS2 (still) carrying the heaviest weight. Seeing as they aren't changing their profit forecasts, does it mean that they're more confident about titles like Soul Calibur IV, Tales of Vesperia, not to mention the second half of Gundam 00 airing soon?

Namco Bandai - No Plans for Yoda vs Vader


Not sure if this was an actual G4 interview or not, as Sasaki has been quoted as saying something similar before. And who knows, people can always change their minds.

"We don't have any plans," said by game director Katsutoshi Sasaki about implementing a DLC that will enable players to play either Yoda or Darth Vader on one console.
