Bandai Co. Ltd. (株式会社バンダイ) is a Tokyo-based toy-making company with 30 subsidiaries in 13 countries worldwide. It was founded in 1950 and is the world's third largest producer of toys.
Bandai had several game development/publishing divisions: Ma-Ba, Banpresto, Bandai Visual, Angel and B-Factory. All acted independently when making games for Sega platforms. The company's North American division, Bandai America (now known as Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America) published their games in that region. By 2004, Bandai America's game business became a separate wholly-owned entity known as Bandai Games. Said company merged with Namco Hometek to form Namco Bandai Games America (now known as Bandai Namco Entertainment America) the following year. In Europe, Bandai's video games were published by their French branch, Bandai S.A.
In January 1997, Sega announced a proposed merger with Bandai.[2] In late May 1997 the proposed merger collapsed. On September 29, 2005, Bandai acquired Namco and created Bandai Namco Holdings. On March 31, 2006, Namco became Bandai Namco Games and took over Bandai's video game operations.
