Sunsoft is the video game division of Japanese electronics manufacturer Suncorporation, established in 1971. In October 1978, Sunsoft began to develop video games in arcades with two titles, Block Challenger and Block Perfect.
It had several arcade hits in the early 1980s, such as Arabian, Ikki and Kangaroo. On July 25, 1985, it released the first Famicon title Super Arabian in Japan under the Sunsoft brand.
Sunsoft is perhaps best known in the west for its Batman title, often known by fans as “Sunsoft Batman”
Sunsoft has been quiet as of late, with the company’s last published games arriving in 2018, Dark Eclipse for PSVR and Shanghai Refresh for Nintendo Switch.
