◇After the merger of Sega and Sammy...

・The development team, which used to have a ratio of AM35:CS65, will be reversed in the future.

(In other words, AC is the main character...Sega has to be like that after all!)

・Atomiswave will become a Sega business from now on. The "Guilty" series will also be developed under the Sega brand in the future.

・Sammy specializes in the pachislot/pachinko business, from directly managed AM facility businesses such as Sammy's Regno to CS business.

All game-related products will be developed under the SEGA brand.

◇Taito, new motherboard: About Type X

・“Wing God” is the first one! Other titles will be announced at the AM show.

・Type X is PC-based, but it is designed to be safe even if the breaker is suddenly tripped.

◇ Alpha System's next work?

I'm trying to think of something I can do for the September show (AM show?), but there's a strong feeling that I won't be able to make it in time.

(Well, it seems faster than the next one...Maybe Type X?)

◇Konami “Warcon & Wartran” soundtrack will be commercialized! *Information provided by “rotten gunman”

This was casually mentioned in the Konami Style email newsletter distributed last weekend. The fact that only 1,000 copies have not been pre-ordered means that fewer copies will be shipped to the world, so in a sense it can be said to be a very valuable item (lol). ...But if this were to be released on July 23rd as planned, would that mean that it would have been produced by Hana regardless of the number of reservations? ? ?
