  • Might not mean much to a lot of you guys, but this more than proves that someone (ie. Microsoft) is seriously been pursuing Nintendo behind the scenes

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Sammy? They're a videogame company that formed a year ago. I think they're mostly Ex-EA and Sega guys</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Been a shade longer than a year. Look at who made Guilty Gear for the PSX. And they've gotta be fighting game guys, their big thing is a fighting game series</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't know much about them, I have heard two things. One a year or two ago of their formation and that they employed Ex-EA, Sega of America, and Acclaim employees (so I doubt Sammy Studios has been around that long), and then just recently that Sega wanted to buy them out.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I think there may be a difference between "Sammy" and "Sammy Studios." The site sammystudios.com says they formed in 2002, but a game that I have was published by "Sammy" for the NES.</div>
