    Wikipedia lists their gaming properties as:

    • Spike Chunsoft
    • FromSoftware (69.66%)
    • Acquire

    Acquire is a name I associate most with Tenchu but it looks like the developed the Mario & Luigi game that released a week or so ago.

      Spike Chunsoft also developed the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games and, fairly recently, the new Dragonball game that, as far as I know, got good reception.

      Kinda lame that these developers will be locked to PS or (months after release) Steam with PSN Account.

      I just went on a rabbit hole of wikipedia. This would be a huge buy of MANY IPs.
