History

In early 2005, Namco Ltd and Bandai Co Ltd announced plans to combine their operations. The merger took effect in September of that same year and both companies became under the umbrella of the newly created Namco Bandai Holdings. For the history of Namco before the renaming in March 2006, see Namco 1. On March 31, 2006, the game division of Bandai was merged to Namco and renamed Namco Bandai Games. During the same time, the amusement venue business of Namco was transferred into a new NBHD subsidiary that would take on the name Namco Ltd and logo. See Namco 2 for that company. On November 8, 2007, Namco Bandai announced that Banpresto's video game operations will be absorbed into Namco Bandai Games on April 1 2008. Banpresto itself will only focus on its prize machines business.[1]
