They are best known for creating the ''Pac-Man'', ''Soulcalibur'', ''Dig Dug'', ''[[Tekken]]'', ''Time Crisis'', ''Klonoa'', ''Katamari'' and ''Tales'' franchises, among others. In addition, they were hired by [[Nintendo]] to develop the ''[[Donkey Kong]]a'' rhythm series, ''[[Star Fox]] Assault'' and ''[[Mario Kart]] Arcade GP'', in the past though Namco were fed up of Nintendo's policies so they decided to develop for rival platforms such as the [[Sega]] Mega Drive/Genesis and the TurboGrafx-16 however due to lower sales despite the good arcade ports, they had to plead back to Nintendo to get a contract for the SNES. In the arcades, Namco was a very recognised company along with [[Capcom]], Konami and Sega, the latter being a semi-rival due to that they copy each others ideas (Ridge Racer = Daytona USA, Time Crisis = Virtua Cop, Tekken = Virtua Fighter 2). Like most game developers, they outsource their games usually to NowProduction who did some of their arcade ports and the Mario Baseball series as well as using [[Tose]]. Due to the success of their video games, it is only natural that several of them have made their way into [[YouTube Poop]]. |
