Japanese software maker Namco, known for its "Tekken" fighting games, said on Thursday it wants struggling fellow game maker Sega, creator of "Sonic the Hedgehog", to reopen merger talks.
A deal would torpedo Sega's planned October union with pinball machine maker Sammy, a move widely seen as a takeover of Sega by financially sound Sammy.
Sega said it is studying Namco's proposal but has not set any deadline for a decision.
