What is BANPRESTO?

BANPRESTO was once a game manufacturer.
To sum it up, BANPRESTO no longer exists as a game maker. It was once an active game manufacturer but has been absorbed twice: once by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment for game development, and by BANDAI SPIRITS for the prize division. Therefore, you won't actually see the name BANPRESTO in the current gaming business in Japan.
The company itself was founded in 1977 and underwent several name changes before becoming a subsidiary of toy manufacturer Bandai in 1989. It was then renamed BANPRESTO.
After renaming itself as BANPRESTO, the company produced numerous character games centered around arcade and home video games, featuring characters from manga and anime.
Afterward, in 2008, BANPRESTO's game business merged with BANDAI NAMCO Games, and games have no longer been released under the BANPRESTO name since.

No, you do. Now it's a company that creates prize goods you can win at game centers, rather than developing game software.
