Acclaim Japan was the Japanese branch of the once-existing American game maker, Acclaim Entertainment.
Acclaim Entertainment was founded in 1987. At the time, there were few companies entering the market, and it primarily developed games for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
A characteristic feature was its many games based on real movies, and later, it also ventured into the comic business, releasing many games featuring those characters.
The game maker Acclaim Japan, the Japanese branch, was established in 1989 and continued to localize software released by Acclaim Entertainment for Japan.
