Square Electronic Arts, LLC, also known as Square EA, was a joint venture between console video game developers Square and Electronic Arts. Announced on April 27, 1998, Square EA was based in Costa Mesa, California and operated under the supervision of Square president and CEO Jun Iwasaki, and was responsible for publishing and marketing all games produced by Square in North America. Conversely, Electronic Arts Square, K.K., formed at the same time and based in Japan, was responsible for publishing and marketing games produced by Electronic Arts in Asia. Under the terms of the agreement, Electronic Arts owned 30 percent of Square EA, and Square owned 30 percent of EA Square.
Square EA proved to be very successful, and during its five years of existence released a higher proportion of localized Square titles to the American market than ever before. EA Square, on the other hand, was somewhat less successful, and struggled to make an impact on the Asian videogame market, which has been traditionally difficult for American game developers to break into. EA Square had also developed a game, X-Squad, which was released for the PlayStation 2 during its launch.
Following the announcement of the merger between Square and former competitor Enix in 2003, Square purchased back Electronic Arts' stake in Square EA, and folded it back into Square Soft, Inc., its North American subsidiary, which was subsequently renamed Square Enix U.S.A., Inc. (now Square Enix, Inc.) and continues to publish Square Enix's titles in North America.
dont think it was bad at lest we got ONE awesome game from this
X-Squad (X-Fire /Crossfire in Japan)
when consoles tend to suck .... when your favorite game gets a sequel but.... its only available on that other platform ... and only exclusive to it
Like :
Drakan 2 know as Drakan: The Ancients' Gates
or
Die By the Sword 2 .... YES they made a sequel
but the thing, with this game is, its awkward names made this game lost and we or some did not knew ... hey they made a second part of that cool game... image that
in Europe its named
Die By the Sword 2: Cult of the Wyrm
in UK
Dragon's Blood
in US
Draconus Cult of the Wyrm
Ah Drakan, I think that was the first game I used a nudemod for.
(The ending was weird though but since the sequel was PS2 exclusive I never got to see how it was followed up on.)
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
