UK, July 7, 2009 - There's one question everyone wants to ask at Team Ninja's recent visit to London, but it's nixed before the Q&A session has even begun. A Tecmo Koei representative takes to the stage to affirm that any queries regarding Metroid: Another M will be met with a no comment - and with that announcement we wouldn't be surprised if half the audience upped and left.
Thankfully no-one spoils the freshly merged Tecmo Koei's party and for this occasion they've got some high profile guests. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's newly appointed head Andrew House, in true rockstar style, sends a pre-recorded message of goodwill, while its CEO Kenji Matsubara asserts that the partnership will introduce new IPs (Dynasty Warriors Extreme Volleyball, anyone?) and place the company at the forefront of the Western videogame industry
