4Kids Sells Yu-Gi-Oh!, CW Network-Related Assets Jointly to Konami, Kidsco
The United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York filed a document on Tuesday after a 10:00 a.m. EDT hearing granting the sale of 4Kids' Yu-Gi-Oh! and CW Network-related assets to a joint bid by Saban's Kidsco Media Ventures LLC and Konami's 4K Acquisition Corp.
During a June 5 auction for the assets, 4Kids considered the joint bid "after a number of rounds of competitive bidding" by Kidsco and 4K, and the three companies agreed to the joint bid on Sunday.
The executed Asset Purchase Agreement document filed on June 24 outlining the joint bid notes that the purchase price for the assets is "Fifteen Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($15,000,000)." A final document clarifying whether the purchase price is US$15 million or US$15.1 million has not yet been filed, although the document filed on June 24 mentions US$15 million in another section.
4Kids had filed a notice on June 15 proposing that KidsCo and Konami would divide the assets and obligations of 4Kids.
According to the executed Asset Purchase Agreement, Konami will receive the rights to the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime franchise, which includes — aside from all production materials — internet domain names, website assets, print publications published by 4Kids, and music and sound recording rights. The company will also receive machinery and recording/editing equipment as well as office equipment, furniture, and computers located at 4Kids' 23rd Street offices in New York.
Kidsco will receive rights to the Dragon Ball Z agreement terms with Toei Animation and Funimation Productions that includes Dragon Ball Z Kai; the Cubix agreements with Daiwon C & A Holdings, Cinepix, and East Japan Marketing & Communications; the Sonic X agreement with TMS Entertainment; and The CW Network's Saturday Morning programming block agreement terms.
Konami is the Japanese licensor and distributor of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, while Saban once produced the Fox Kids programming block. (4Kids also once produced Fox's Saturday morning programming until 2008.)
6月26号的消息，稍微火星了一点……不过各个地方好像都还没传开？
按照这条新闻的说法，KONAMI接管了4KIDS网站和所有实体资产，以及游戏王系列在北美范围内的所有权利——包括现在还在进行中的ZEXAL放映权（和改编权，orz）。
不过代价并不算低，双方达成共识的收购价大概是1500万美元，约合12亿日元左右，相当于KONAMI卡牌游戏年毛利润率的1/10，KONAMI年毛利的5%左右——当然现在又社交游戏撑台面，KONAMI想交这么一笔钱并不算太肉疼就是。
总体上看，掏了这么一大笔钱来把行将就木的4KIDS的游戏王相关版权收回来是好事一桩，但是反之其他项目的预算很可能就随之缩水了。比如今年的TF很可能就会根据这个项目的支出而搁浅，WC同样。其他关联商品的宣传和各种活动没准也会受到一定的影响。
但是耐人寻味的是当初KONAMI参加竞拍的时候提出的bid是4KIDS的所有资产和权利——实际上现在法院给出的判决把当初bid能够获得的范围限定在了游戏王以及4kids网站和实体资产上，这样就使得KONAMI的预算中会出现一定的结余，可能那些因为这个项目而暂时束之高阁的其他项目也会因此慢慢恢复运作。
 没准我们能在12月的圣诞商战中看到今年的TF |
