    B.B. Studio Co., Ltd.[a] is a Japanese video game development company. The company is a result of a merger between BEC and Banpresoft by their parent company, Bandai Namco Entertainment.[1]

    History[edit]

    The logo for BEC.

    BEC Co., Ltd. (株式会社ベック, Kabushiki-gaisha Bekku), short for Bandai Entertainment Company, was a joint venture by Bandai and Human for video game development. They were best known for developing licensed video games for Bandai including Digimon, Dragon Ball Z and Mobile Suit Gundam.[2]

    Bandai eventually took full control of BEC, after Human went bankrupt in 2000, and once Bandai and Namco merged to create Bandai Namco Holdings, BEC became a video game development subsidiary for the merged company.[3]

    Banpre Kikaku Co., Ltd. (株式会社バンプレ企画, Kabushiki-gaisha Banpure Kikaku) was a subsidiary of Banpresto that developed video games. Its name was changed to Banpresoft Co., Ltd. (株式会社バンプレソフト, Kabushiki-gaisha Banpuresofuto) in March 1997.

    On April 1, 2011, Bandai Namco merged BEC with Banpresoft in order to streamline and unify the Bandai gaming subsidiaries under one division,[4][5][6] whilst the Banpresto brand was re-established as a toy company as part of Bandai Namco's toys and hobby business.[7] B.B. Studio continued to use the Banpresto name on its products until February 2014, when it was decided that all Bandai Namco video games going forward would only carry the Bandai Namco name.[8][9]
