Under Square-Enix, Taito continues to develop new versions of their Taito Type X arcade board, an extremely flexible, PC-based, modular arcade board that can run many types of games and also maintains a series of arcades in Japan called "Taito Stations". Some members of Taito's arcade division later branched off from the company and started their own with G.rev Ltd., producing shoot 'em up titles such as Border Down, Senko no Ronde, Strania -The Stella Machina-, and Mamorukun Curse. Since then, some of their games have been distributed under the label "Taito - A Square Enix Company", are published under the Square-Enix name or are sold off to other publishers, though as of the release of Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours they managed to retain a degree of independence as their games are published by another publisher label. Taito's leading position in the video game industry enabled it to produce and distribute many games created by smaller developers such as Allumer, Hot-B, Kaneko, Natsume, Technos Japan and Toaplan.Īfter a relatively quiet period, Taito Corporation was acquired and relaunched by Square Enix in 2005 effectively killing the old game development company as it was for good. In 1973, Taito became one of the first Japanese companies to enter the video game industry.Īfter developing several primordial arcade games and electromechanical redemption games, Space Invaders was released in 1978 and became an international phenomenon, leading to the establishment of the subsidiary Taito America in 1979. In 1973, they founded Taito of Brazil to market pinball tables in Brazil. Taito branched into all sorts of businesses, including amusement equipment, early and primitive video arcades. One of the first products Taito sold was distilled vodka (the first company to produce vodka domestically in Japan), perhaps not surprising since founder, Michael Kogan, was a Russian Jew. Taito Corporation was founded in Japan in 1953 as "Taito Trading Company". One of the most famous names in Arcade Games, Taito (タイトー) was arguably the first Japanese company to create arcade games.
