SYDNEY, 23 October, 2012: Mindscape Asia Pacific and Tecmo Koei Europe have announced a distribution partnership for Australia and New Zealand.   The partnership will see Mindscape Asia Pacific handle all sales, marketing and distribution of Tecmo Koei’s popular titles including Dead or Alive, Warriors Orochi, Fist of the North Star, Dynasty Warriors, Ninja Gaiden and beyond.

Mindscape was initially enlisted to distribute Dead or Alive 5 in Australia and New Zealand but the partnership has now been extended to the entire Tecmo Koei portfolio.

“Partnering with a publisher as popular and promising as Tecmo Koei has come as a natural progression for Mindscape. Tecmo Koei’s catalogue and its league of diehard fans are testament to the brand’s power and we are excited to be a part of this,” said Tonia Velasco, General Manager at Mindscape Asia Pacific. “We are confident we will grow the Tecmo Koei brand in Australia and are looking forward to releasing many hit titles in the new future”. 

‘We are delighted to extend our partnership with Mindscape. We are certain that our collaboration for our upcoming titles will help expand our brands and grow our fanbase in Australia and New Zealand’ says Yasutomo Watanabe, General Manager of Tecmo Koei Europe.  

The partnership is effective immediately.  Following on from the release of Dead or Alive 5, Mindscape will launch the next title Warriors Orochi 3: Hyper on the Nintendo Wii-U.
