【ARIKA】Not Just Home Video Games, but Also Expanding into Arcade Game Business! Here’s the Current Software Lineup by ARIKA!

● What is ARIKA?

ARIKA is a game manufacturer that not only produces games for home consoles but also develops arcade games.

Founded in 1995. Initially established as “ARMtech K.K,” it was founded by core members of Capcom's development team.

In 1996, the company was renamed to its current name ARIKA. Since then, they have been developing and releasing software for both arcade games and home consoles simultaneously.

The flagship arcade game is Street Fighter EX, and they have continued to regularly develop new arcade games up to the 2020s.

Since the 2020s, they have particularly focused on software development, and while the number of releases has slightly decreased, they are still actively involved.

It's amazing that they are still developing games for both arcades and home consoles simultaneously.

Yes, indeed! Even though it's the same game, the media are completely different, so without proper expertise, it wouldn't last this long, and they've probably established themselves as professionals in various industries, haven't they?

From retro games to recent console games! Here is ARIKA's software lineup!
