History

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.[3] Once Bandai and Namco merged as Bandai Namco, BEC became a video game development subsidiary for the merged company.

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] whilst the Banpresto brand was re-established as a toy company as part of Bandai Namco's toys and hobby business.[5]
