Koei Tecmo is a Japanese company known for great Nintendo classic games such as Ninja Gaiden and Tecmo Super Bowl.
Company History
Tecmo was originally known asTehkan Ltd and founded in 1967. Their name was changed in 1986 toTecmo, Ltd. 2008 was a major year for Tecmo; not only did their primary designer, Tomonobu Itagaki, quit due to legal disputes, but in August of the year, Square Enix offered to purchase the company, similar to how they did in 2005 with Taito.
Koei was a Japanese video game publisher, developer, and distributor founded in 1978. It started as a textile dying business before its founder, Yoichi Erikawa, started authoring historical simulation titles in 1980. Their computer games gained popularity in Japan since they were the few which offered non-adult oriented computer products.
Tecmo later opted to merge with Koei and the merge was made official on April 1, 2009. In North America, games from Tecmo or Koei are now published by Tecmo Koei America Corporation. In 2014, the company changed its name in the west to what it is called in Japan, Koei Tecmo. In the summer of 2014, they had also absorbed Gust into its pool of developers.
