Konami Joins Bidding for 4Kids' Yu-Gi-Oh Assets

North American anime distributor 4Kids announced on Thursday that 4K Acquisition Corp., an indirect subsidiary of Japan's Konami Corporation, had made competing bids in the bankruptcy auction for "substantially all of [4Kids'] assets," including the assets related to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.

Konami made an initial competing bid toward the end of last week, after Kidsco Media Ventures LLC — the initial "stalking-horse" bidder and affiliate of Saban Capital — had already entered a bid. The formal auction between Konami's 4K Acquisition Corp. and Saban's Kidsco Media Ventures LLC began on Tuesday. After a number of follow-up bids, the auction was adjourned in order to allow the two parties to consider an agreement that would split 4Kids' assets between them.

Konami is the Japanese licensor and distributor of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game. A major part of the 4Kids auction is what is referred to in the filing as the "Yu-Gi-Oh! Business," which is defined as "business relating to and commercial Use of Yu-Gi-Oh!, including the rights granted under the Yu-Gi-Oh! Grant Agreements, all other Purchased Assets relating to Yu-Gi-Oh!, The CW Block and [4Kids'] right to Use and profit from the foregoing and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Related Intellectual Property, the Yu-Gi-Oh! brand, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Productions."

4Kids filed for bankruptcy last year shortly after TV Tokyo, Nihon Ad Systems, and ADK filed a lawsuit over Yu-Gi-Oh! licensing. The suit reached an "amicable" settlement earlier this year, with ADK and TV Tokyo paying US$8 million to 4Kids.

Thanks to Ravegirl for the tip.

如果真收購成功的話，K社應該會在不觸及底線的前提下儘量保留原風格吧。TCG面對的國家和文化太多，很多東西不得不改。

看来LS的评论后，请问这是不是卡图变革的另一种表示？

gamekingpr · 发表于 2012-6-10 10:04:50

K社真的想把游戏王发展成子供向么？这个难度太大了，游戏王的规则跟调整等等注定很难令小朋友跟女生接受。反而像VG那样规则简单，基本不需要调整，卡图靓丽比较容易令小朋友跟女生接纳。
