A Japanese corporation best known as a former video game developer and publisher. Following a merger with Bandai in September 2005, the two companies' game production assets were spun off into Bandai Namco on March 31, 2006. Namco was re-established to continue domestic operation of video arcades and amusement parks. The company's English name is officially written as NAMCO (in all capital letters).
Namco was a front-runner during the golden age of arcade video games. Pac-Man, its arguably most famous title, went on to become the best-selling arcade game in history and an international popular culture icon. They went on to create other franchises such as Splatterhouse, Steel Gunner, Tekken, SoulCalibur, Ridge Racer, and Ace Combat.
