With Hudson, Namco was one of the first Famicom licensees. Then, as now, Namco (along with Sega) is one of the two leading arcade manufacturers in the world, and is also a prominent home game developer. In the 1980s, Masaya Nakamura and Nintendo's Hiroshi Yamauchi have had serious disagreements over Nintendo's cartridge production policies, causing a breech between the two companies that took years to heal. Despite this, the company did have a presence on Nintendo Famicom and Super Famicom platforms. Through the PlayStation era, Namco established a strong relationship with Sony and provided many of the leading titles for the platform (including the Tekken and Ridge Racer franchises, both released exclusively on PS hardware;) the company also worked with SEGA on games for the Dreamcast platform (notably with the release of Soulcalibur.) With the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube platforms, Namco moved towards a multi-platform support business plan.
In 2005, Namco and Bandai merged together and became Namco Bandai Holdings. Future titles published by this combined business carried the "Namco Bandai" (or "Bandai Namco") branding.
Capcom set to release fan-made mash-up.
