【Kotobuki Solution】 KEMCO, Their Former Game Brand, is Also Operated in Parallel! What Kind of Games Has Kotobuki Solution, a Multi-Faceted Company Operating Primarily in Hiroshima, Released?

Those who immediately recognize the name “Kotobuki Solution” might be serious gamers. However, it is likely that quite a few people have picked up a game made by them without even realizing it. They were founded in 2004, spun off from Kotobuki System, and are now a production company with a unique presence in Japan's mobile gaming industry. They primarily develop games for cell phones and smartphones, but what drives them is not just the pursuit of “casual games,” but the enthusiasm and ingenuity of passing down old-fashioned gaming spirit to the modern era. They carefully port masterpieces from the Famicom generation, recreating nostalgia, while also adding the unique playfulness of smartphones to new titles, reaching a wide range of users.

Their headquarters are located in Kure City, a local city in Hiroshima Prefecture. The fact that they continue to influence the national game market from this location, which is neither Tokyo nor Osaka, symbolizes Kotobuki Solution's uniqueness. Furthermore, with studios in Higashihiroshima City and Suita City, Osaka, and branch offices in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, and Naka-ku, Hiroshima City, their stance of being rooted in the region while actively pursuing nationwide expansion demonstrates a strong will not to settle for being “just a local company.” By establishing a multi-location development structure like this, they have a system in place to promote projects flexibly and efficiently, which supports the company's stable software supply capacity.

One of Kotobuki Solution's appeals is that they actively develop software not only for mobile devices like cell phones and smartphones but also for home consoles like the Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita. This has made them known not only to mobile game users but also to players familiar with console machines. Moreover, they do not merely develop games; they also handle porting and sales themselves, resulting in a vastly different level of content completeness and management. By providing diverse options tailored to the player's environment and preferences, you can feel a development posture that supports all users.

It is Kotobuki Solution that continues to cherish and carry on the name “KEMCO,” which was once known as the game brand of “Kotobuki System.” For the generation that remembers KEMCO's works that made a name for themselves during the Famicom era, that brand is surely not just a name but the “experience etched in memory” itself. They are building a new game world with the responsibility and passion to rebuild that tradition in modern formats without letting it fade. The fact that they have inherited not only the brand but also its spirit is proof that they serve as a bridge between the past and the present.
