User:Namcokid47/List of Banpresto games

Banpresto was a Japanese toy manufacturer and former video game developer and publisher based in Minato, Tokyo. The company was founded as Hoei Sangyo, Co. Ltd. in 1977, renaming itself to Coreland in 1982 and working primarily as a subcontractor for companies such as Sega. In 1989, Coreland was acquired by Bandai and was renamed Banpresto, a portmanteau of "Bandai" and "Presto". Banpresto established Banpresto Sales in 1992 and acquired the Hanayashiki theme park in 2004. In March 2006, Banpresto became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bandai Namco Holdings, merging their video game operations into Namco Bandai Games in 2008. Banpresto was relegated to a manufacturer of toys and prize machines in Japan. As part of a corporate restructuring in 2019, Banpresto's toy operations were merged with Bandai Spirits and its prize machine business with Bandai Namco Amusement, effectively causing the company to cease operations. Today, Banpresto is used as a name by Bandai Spirits for its products.

Banpresto is known for producing video games based on licensed media properties in Japan, such as Gundam, Sailor Moon, and Ultraman. The company also produced several of its own games, such as the Another Century's Episode, Ar Tonelico, and Super Robot Wars franchises. As Coreland, the company developed several arcade games including Pengo, 4-D Warriors, and Black Panther.
