Examu
Examu, formerly known as Yuki Enterprise, was a Japanese video game company created in 2000 who mostly produces fighting games for arcades and home consoles. It is known for owning Team Arcana, the developer of the original IP series Arcana Heart. Initially, they developed games for their own arcade system board called eX-Board, to then release their games almost exclusively on Taito's NESiCAxLive arcade delivery system. Support for eX-Board ceased in December, 2013.[2]
