Telenet Japan (日本テレネット) was a software developer and publisher founded in 1983. They are best known for their software development teams Wolf Team (which was sold to Namco in 2003) and RIOT (fate unknown) and US publishing house Renovation Products (which was acquired by Sega in 1993), however they have also developed various games in other, unknown studios. They ceased developing for Sega systems company-wide in 1993 for unknown reasons, selling Renovation to Sega and establishing their largest success, Wolf Team's Tales series, on the SNES. Telenet Japan themselves would continue to produce games on the SNES, PlayStation, and Game Boy Advance, as well as enter the pachinko business.
They closed down in 2007 after a string of financial mistakes (including the infamous licensing of various properties to a hentai developer a few years earlier), and with the exception of Wolf Team's Tales series (owned by Namco), all their intellectual properties are now owned by Sunsoft.
