E3 2011: Senior studio figure impressed with Eidosâ?? expo contribution, worried by Japanese efforts

Square Enix JPN: Our E3 efforts were ‘humiliating’

Koji Taguchi, a senior executive officer at Square Enix Holdings, has voiced his concern over the Japanese contingent of his company’s E3 effort.

Writing on Twitter, Taguchi lauded the expo appearances of the overall company, saying: “Because we merged with Eidos and had games like Tomb Raider, Deus and Hitman, as a company we were able to keep face.”

“But the decline in Japanese titles was almost humiliating. This has been a week where I worried daily about how we can fix this."
