Coconuts Japan was a game maker that once existed.

Founded in the 1980s. The Pachio-kun series (American Dream), themed on Pachinko, was particularly famous, gaining popularity for its adorable characters and clear depiction of what Pachinko is as a game.

They also produced many Hanafuda and sports games, as well as localizing foreign games. Around 2000, they gradually downsized and withdrew from the game business, going bankrupt in 2002. Therefore, Coconuts Japan no longer exists, and software releases have ceased.

I've heard of the Pachio-kun series. I think it was a series that continued for quite some time, wasn't it?

It seems so! With a total of 5 titles on Famicom, 3 on Super Famicom, and 3 on Game Boy, it's quite a popular series! Since the Pachio-kun series seems to have had many software releases, let's check it out right away!
