Marvelous Interactive Inc.

Marvelous Interactive Co. Inc. (株式会社マーベラスインタラクティブ, Marvelous Interactive Co. Inc.^?) is a Japanese company founded on August 3, 1970 that serves to publish and develop video games.

History

Until March 31, 2003, the company was known as Marvelous Entertainment, though the name was changed to reflect the acquisition of Victor Interactive Software in 2002. In the transaction Marvelous obtained all the rights to the popular Harvest Moon series and other Victor Interactive Software series. In 2004, Marvelous revealed plans to start publishing games outside of Japan and establish Rising Star Games in Europe.

Future Plans

In a 2007 interview with Yasuhiro Wada, the president of Marvelous Interactive, he revealed that within 2 years, they would open up a branch in the United States. On May 9, 2008, Marvelous and XSEED Games announced that they would be joining forces with XSEED helping to publish Marvelous games in North America.
