After the big reveal just last week of Tecmo bringing over Undead Knights to the US, we now have here some more details on gameplay, as well as some screenshots, thanks once more to the goldmine that is the latest edition of Japanese magazine, Famitsu.

At last year's Tokyo Game Show, Tecmo revealed a pair of games for Sony's PS3-PSP tandem: Quantum Theory and Undead Knights. The former is an FPS for the PS3. The latter is a PSP title where players have to turn enemies into zombies.

Nice, yes? Well, Tecmo's bringing both games to E3. Even better: both games will be getting releases in North America. More after the jump.

Tecmo has sent out invitations to an event at the Metreon's PlayStation Store in San Francisco where they're going to announce a new title this March 24. The invites didn't reveal anything about the game in question, except that it will be "the greatest "_____" game, ever!". Yep, that blank space is supposed to be there.

The devs of the mysterious Undead Knights title, Tachyon Crew at Tecmo, have come out for an interview, and here they professed their love for the PSP, characterizing it as handheld that's made for "real gamers".

Looks like not everyone is happy with the Tecmo-Koei merger. Tecmo's second largest shareholder, Effissimo Capital Management Pte, voiced out its displeasure with the said merger, saying that there was a lack of information as to how the new partnership will benefit the investors.

Deals have been finalized, hancocks have been penned, and maybe even blood sacrifices have been made too. Heh. I kid. But seriously though: Tecmo and Koei have announced yesterday of their upcoming merger. They're setting up shop on April 1 (and no, there's no Apil Fool's joke about it!), 2009, under the banner of Koei Tecmo Holdings. Will there be any room for ex-Team Ninja rockstar Tomonobu Itagaki though? Not if current Koei CEO has any say on it.

Lately, several gaming bigwigs in Japan have shown growing concern that the West is outstripping development from their end.

Square Enix to the rescue! Squeenix prez Yoichi Wada suggested that to remain competitive against Western companies, gaming companies in Japan should consider forming an alliance.

A short teaser trailer has been released for Undead Knights, Tecmo's upcoming game for the Sony PSP. The video doesn't have any gameplay footage, but it does sport some pretty good graphics. Check it out after the jump.

Undead Knights. If only for the title alone, I am interested in this game. According to this week's Famitsu mag, Tecmo is working on this new zombie-themed game, which is scheduled for a release next year on the PSP. More details in the full article.

After all the controversies that Tecmo was involved in the past couple of months, it looks like things are starting to settle now with the company. They have gotten past over the Square Enix "friendly take-over" offer, and now they are moving things a step further with Koei by drawing up management integration talks -- and a deadline.
