Nex Entertainment Co., Ltd. (株式会社ネクスエンタテインメント), formerly known as Nextech Co., Ltd. (株式会社ネクステック) and Emarg, was a Japanese video game development studio headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo which acted as a contract developer for companies such as Sega, Takara, Capcom, and Namco.

Company
Nex Entertainment was originally founded in 1992 as the majority of the company known as Emarg. They developed games under contract for various companies, such as Sega, Takara, Capcom, and Namco. By March 1994, they had officially changed their name to Nextech, around the time they acquired fellow Japanese development studio Gau Entertainment the next month.[1][2]
In August 1997, Sega Enterprises, Ltd. acquired the studio as a wholly-owned subsidiary, continuing the studio's contract work to other game companies. Nextech took its current name of Nex Entertainment in July 2005, with Sega spinning them out back to independent operation that November. Following this, it appears they did not last the decade, as their website went offline around the second half of the 2010s.[4]
