Namco Bandai Changing Its Name

[Luigi2012SM64DS]

According to my Pac-Man World Rally copy it was already Bandai Namco.

Re the legal stuff. There is precious little you can do by just changing you name in the manner that happened here, you can resell your brand, drop out of a franchise and a few other things besides that will force a name change. Unless you also declare bankruptcy or something really fun like vanish/quick sell your assets then most legal systems are smart enough to see through it.

This is far more likely because some analyst of theirs said the Bandai brand had more resonance or something with the public, because it provided a more unified front to advertise from or some such. If their analyst was especially cretin class, or stepped out of an 80's time warp I guess, then it might have also been because B is higher up in the alphabet than N (ever wondered why so many tech companies start with an a?).

For me Namco Bandai sounds better than Bandai Namco but meh.
I've been calling them Bamco for some time now.

 

[stinkoman]

Shouldn't it be Ban Dai then?

Ban Dai Namco

That's what it's like on the cover of Bleh of Z.

What? No. That's just a stylistic choice in the logo, it's been like that for years.

In 15 years from now, they change back to Namco Bandai and pat themselves on the back for coming up with such a great name, again.

Wouldn't it be easier to change 1 company to Namco Bandai than to change 31 companies to Bandai Namco?

I don't really care about this, it's not affecting any games, I'll still be getting Gundam EXVS Full Boost next week, Gundam Side Story: The Missing Link will come soon and Tales of Zestiria will still have a worldwide release. It's not even affecting Idolm@ster. It's no big deal.

Nice twist
