D3 Publisher Inc.[a] is a Japanese video game developer and publisher founded on February 5, 1992.[1] The company is known for the Simple series of budget-priced video games. Their games have been released for the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, GameCube, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii U, Android, and iOS.

History

Between 2007 and 2014, D3 Publisher owned a North Carolina–based game development studio Vicious Cycle Software.[2][3] In 2009, Bandai Namco Holdings gained a controlling share of D3 and currently owns 95% of its stock.[4][5] After the bankruptcy of Midway Games, the company became the publisher of Cartoon Network games from 2009 until 2014, when American publisher Little Orbit took control. Both D3Publisher and Cartoon Network worked on games based on licenses such as Ben 10 and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi before that.[6]

In 2015, D3 Publisher announced that D3 Publisher of America Inc. would rebrand as D3 Go! and that it would no longer publish video games but focus on publishing mobile games, but D3 Publisher Inc. in Japan would remain the same.[7] D3 Go! is also expected to release some games from D3 Publisher Inc.[8]

On June 27, 2022, 505 Games announced that they have acquired the assets of D3 Go![9]
