Hello everyone. For interesting foreign video games, some game company has to localize them, which means translating various subtitles, effects, or voices into one's own language. So, I believe localization is very important for games. I'm Boss from Retro Video Game Republic.
Hello everyone~! Indeed! Localization is already completed when we play games, but it's a very important process, isn't it? It seems difficult to adjust everything without breaking the game's world view. I'm Saori from Retro Video Game Republic!
So, today! We will introduce this game maker, who does such localization and has also released its own brand titles!

Kemco is a game brand currently owned by Kotobuki System.
It was established in 1985.
While developing its own brand series, Kemco also handles a lot of porting of games released overseas and games based on foreign animated works.
In 2005, in line with a business reorganization of Kotobuki System, Kemco started producing original RPGs.
Around the same time, Kemco Corporation, which develops consumer game software and peripherals, was established, but its activities are currently somewhat restrained.
