Some of you may know this, others may not. Ranger-X was one of the best games for the Genesis, back in the days. Great 2D mecha action game with advanced controls (control two objects simultaneously), and really robust visuals. Anyway, the company that made it was called Gau Entertainment, and I'd thought they'd fizzled away. But it turns out they merged into Nextech, who made Ragnacenty. They've since changed their name to Nex Entertainment, but they're still around, doing things like Children of Mana DS and Shining Tears. Their glory days may be long, long gone, but it's still interesting to see what became of these folks. Personally I'd love to see a 2D Ranger-X, maybe on the DS?
