Talk:Time Warner Interactive (Japan)

According to SEC filings, WMS was looking to sell TWI Japan and Atari Games Ireland. They sold Atari Games Ireland to Namco, but what happened to TWI Japan? CRV (talk) 06:02, 30 March 2017 (CEST)

I can't find any proper sources, but JP Wikipedia says what I wrote on the page: they were closed down because WMS didn't see any purpose in having a Japan office. Considering the development staff wound up at numerous companies (Treasure, NEW, possibly TamTam), if the company was sold off it was likely only part of it, or the new owner only kept the assets and not the staff (though that would raise the further question of how Iuchi was able to take Radiant Silvergun to Treasure). --Dimitri (talk) 08:40, 30 March 2017 (CEST)

Hello both. I'm trying to track down the owner of the Magical Puzzle Popils IP. I tried Warner Bros Interactive but they said it's not theirs. So I think K.K.TWI had the IP and it's gone to either Treasure or NEW? Any the thoughts or help appreciated. SMSpower @matt, Twitter @gingerbeardman 86.165.112.118 16:32, 15 September 2017 (CEST)

The rights might have reverted back to Fukio Mitsuji. CRV (talk) 17:12, 15 September 2017 (CEST)

I was hoping for something more certain. Especially as MTJ is deceased. I can find contact details for Treasure, what about NEW? 86.165.112.118 11:37, 16 September 2017 (CEST)

New and its parent company Ertain are long gone. Collavier supposedly owns at least some of their properties now. CRV (talk) 20:58, 16 September 2017 (CEST)

Thanks. I’m currently trying to contact Bill Hindorff former Tengen, Inc. Director/Producer. Let's see how that goes. 86.165.112.118 00:18, 18 September 2017 (CEST)

Contacted a lot more people, casting the net wide at this point! Some leads are proving fruitful. 86.165.107.223 11:02, 28 September 2017 (CEST)

I managed to make contact with Jun Amanai through an old friend of his, Masumi Takimoto. Jun doesn't own the copyright but will try to ascertain who does by contacting the former head of Tengen (not sure who) 86.165.108.7 23:11, 14 October 2017 (CEST)
