Hey List,
due no doubt to NEC's trmendous successes from continuing
development for theDreamcast in Japan through April 2003 (and maybe
not), NEC is coming to America!!!! Here's the Gamespot article:
"The makers of the TurboGrafx-16 have launched a new US gaming division."
"NEC has announced that it has started a new US gaming division called
NEC Interchannel. The new offshoot will publish games for the GameCube,
Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Game Boy Advance, and it will be headed by the
former vice president of Capcom Entertainment, Clint Kurahashi. "With
the wealth of video gaming experience and resources here at NEC, we
hope to make an impact in the coming years," said Kurahashi. The first game to be released under the NEC Interchannel label will be
Tube Slider for the GameCube. We'll post more information as it becomes
available." -------------------------------------------------------
Well, h/s is all i can say to that. All this time, especially
since the closing of NEC Avenue, it seemed that NEC was realyl pulling
back completely from video games when just the opposite was happening.
For those interested, they still have 5 Dreamcast releases for 2003
including a new edition of the series which started on the PC-FX: PIA
