Product Information

In April 1991, Banpresto introduced Super Robot Wars, a tactical role-playing game for the Game Boy. [13] [14] Developed by external studio WinkySoft, [15] it was a spiritual successor to its Compati Hero series of games, crossing over popular mecha licenses like Getter Robo and Mazinger-Z. [16] Super Robot Wars was a commercial success, attributed to its release during the popularity of mecha anime in the early half of the decade. [16] It became one of the company's most-successful games, spawning a multi-million-selling franchise with several sequels, remakes, and other forms of media. [16] [14] Super Robot Wars is considered important and influential for the genre, and contributed to the early success of the SD Gundam media franchise. [14] As of 2016, the Super Robot Wars series has sold over 16 million games across all available platforms. [17] Banpresto also began producing children's rides, using the likenesses of characters such as Anpanman, Super Mario, and Thomas the Tank Engine. [18] Game Machine (in Japanese). Amusement Press.

Retrieved 2 August 2020.By 1992, Banpresto was worth ¥1.4 billion yen. [2] The company began expanding its operations as a result, starting with the establishment of Sanotawa, a sales and distribution network subsidiary, in February. Banpresto found additional success in arcades with the release of Ugougo Luga, a stuffed toy that sold over 2.6 million by the end of the year. The company continued to develop and publish video games for home consoles. Among its most successful releases was Super Puyo Puyo, a Super Famicom conversion of Compile's Puyo Puyo series that sold over one million copies. [19] In February 1994, Banpresto established Banpre Kikaku, Ltd. in Kita, Osaka, which became its primary video game development division. [20] As Banpresto was largely a publisher of games by other studios, the move allowed it to experiment with original game concepts and handle development of video games in-house. In addition, Banpre Kikaku also served as a second office, and assisted in its parent company's sales programs and product distribution. Unifive, a producer of merchandiser games, became a wholly-owned subsidiary in March as part of the company's continuing expansion in the arcade industry. Banpresto began to spread its operations throughout other parts of Asia; Banpresto H.K. was founded in Hong Kong in June to import and distribute Banpresto-developed goods across the country. a b c Horowitz, Ken (22 June 2018).
