Namco has already secured 70% of D3 shares, and hopes to acquire the remaining 30% for full control of the company.

D3 Publisher is known in America for publishing titles such as Dark Sector, Puzzle Quest, Earth Defense Force 2017, and various Naruto and Ben 10 titles.

Namco hopes that the acquisition will allow for the two publishers to cooperate in their overseas expansion efforts, in addition to maximizing the value of D3's content with Namco's toy, amusement, video and networking divisions.
