Makes sense. Since a lot of Bandai's voice artists ended up being the voices for the English version of Namco's Xenosaga.

I just hope that Namco will let Bandai make a Soul Calibur anime and Ace Combat anime.

Bandai should use Namco people in help build better video games.

That is ture, but would like to see Bandai use people from Namco on making better Gundam games really. I would like to see a Gundam Sim game really.

Yeah name one besides the .hack series that was good? They have a terrible track record overall. They've put out almost nothing but junk for years. Most of their games are cheap cash cow's like Inuyasha, the billion Gundam games, and Digimon. This is good now because Namco won't put up with it.

Maybe we can hope for AGWS model kits, then?
