  • CSK Research Institute Corp. Changes Name to Sega – AM2 CO. Ltd.

    From FGN:

    Sega R&D AM2 game development department was merged with CSK Research Institute last year to be an independent company according to Sega’s strategic decision. AM2 is a leading brand of the arcade game and is now eyeing the field of home videogame development.

    The company said, “By taking this occasion, we decided to change our company name by adapting these honorable ‘Sega’ and ‘AM2’ brands and restart for goal with refreshed spirit and exiting enthusiasm for success.”

    According to Japanese reports, CSK will be announcing reorganization plans of the company at the end of the fiscal year. Specifics have yet to be revealed, but insiders suggest that there’s a possibility of two of CSK’s major divisions, Sega and ASCII, being sold off. These rumors have been follwed up by ones suggesting that Microsoft could swoop down on Sega. Don’t you love the Internet?

    Probably not tremendous news for most folks, but probably worth putting down.
