The company's name comes from the famous Columbus Circle in Manhattan,
a bustling hub where many people gather and interact. The name was chosen with the desire to create a similar space in the gaming world, making it a fun and lively place.

Wow! I thought it was an older company because they released several Famicom games, but it was actually founded in the 2000s.

That's right! The devices that allow easy play of Famicom software using modern machines are Columbus Circle's flagship products, or should I say, hits! It seems they are developing these so that even those who don't have Famicom software today can still play them.
●So, it turns out to be a modern company! Here are some of Columbus Circle's flagship products!
