Old news. NEC has been in the gaming business even with the Sega Dreamcast.

They published the ultra-rare "ISPY-Industrial Espionage" under the UFO games monniker.

I fail to see what that has to do with the news Bluvoodu posted...or the "old news" as you so rudely put it. Unless inside that ISPY manual, was an announcement that they were going to publish games for all the next-gen systems?

On top of that.. they have OFFICIALLY been out of the business for more than 8 years. Regardless if they had their hands in on that 1 title.

Rather cool to have them back though :) Plus... they started up the US division again.

Pretty simple...he indicated that NEC is gettin back in the games industry. Truth is, they've been in the games industry even prior to the news that he reported.

Thats good news. All these companies closing are kind of depressing. Its good to see an old company come back.

You know, sometimes it's wiser to not contribute to a post when you have nothing positive to say.

That's the only one I'm aware of for the U.S. Market. I'm positive that they made a few shitty games for the Japanese Dreamcast market, but again, since I'm a U.S. gamer I'm not 100% certain nor do I care about the import gaming scene to find out.
