Japan System House

Japan System House at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to find out more about Japan System House, you will see a developer with a very specific footprint rather than a massive catalog. Founded in 1987 and active strictly between 1990 and 1998, the company released exactly 16 games during its entire existence. All sixteen titles list them as the developer while they never appear as a publisher on this platform. The studio underwent significant name changes over that short lifespan, starting as Japan System House Co., Ltd., becoming JSH Co., Ltd. in July 1995, and finally renaming to Biox in December 1997. Their output was entirely concentrated in the 1990s with no releases before or after that decade. The platform distribution shows a heavy reliance on handheld systems from that era. Five games appeared on the Game Boy and another five on the Sega Game Gear. The Family Computer hosted three titles, while the Sega Mega Drive had two entries. Single releases also exist for the Nintendo 3DS, Sega Saturn, and Wii, though the latter likely came from a re-release or compilation given their active period ended in 1998. Their genre work is equally varied but not deep. They made four platformers, three adventure games, and three puzzle titles. The rest of their portfolio includes card and board games, hack and slash games, shooters, strategy games, fighting games, and visual novels. When looking at quality, the data paints a modest picture. The company has an average IGDB rating of 60.7 based on just one rated title. That single entry falls into the good category between 60 and 79 points. No titles from this developer achieved a great rating above 80. Their highest rated game is Mega Man II from 1991, which holds that same 60.7 score. Recent releases in their catalog include Honkaku Shogi Shinan Wakamatsu Shogi-juku in January 1998 and Ninku 2: Tenkuuryuu he no Michi in December 1995. Other known titles from their later years are Pepenga Pengo, Kiteretsu Daihyakka Bouken Ooedo Jyuraki, and Undercover Cops Gaiden: Hakaishin Garumaa. The company ceased production after 1998 and has not released any new games in the decades since their final name change.
