Namco Bandai is al jaren lang een groot begrip in de game industrie, maar het Japanse bedrijf heeft nu besloten om voortaan als Bandai Namco door het leven te gaan. Hoe en waarom is te lezen in het onderstaande persbericht.


Namco Bandai Japan is unifying the names of its overseas subsidiaries. In Japan, the company is called Bandai Namco. Overseas, it's Namco Bandai. But not for long.

At a board of director's meeting held on January 23, Namco Bandai announced that beginning April 1, the names of its 31 subsidiaries-including six domestic and 25 overseas-will change from Namco Bandai to Bandai Namco.

A note about those six domestic company name changes: though the company is already Bandai Namco in Japan, its name in English writing is still Namco Bandai. Those will change to Bandai Namco. For example, Namco Bandai Games Inc. will become Bandai Namco Games Inc. And overseas, Namco Bandai Games America Inc. will become Bandai Namco Games America Inc., and so on.

The reason for the change, the company said, is to elevate the appeal and value of the Bandai Namco brand overseas.
