Takara Tomy

Takara Tomy at a Glance

Takara Tomy operates as a major Japanese entity with roots stretching back to 1924, though its current form emerged from a 2006 merger between Takara and Tomy. The company maintains a significant presence in the gaming sector with 48 titles listed on PlayPile. Their portfolio shows a heavy reliance on handheld systems, specifically the Nintendo DS which hosts 22 games. The Wii follows with nine titles, while the Arcade, Nintendo Switch, and Game Boy each hold between one and two entries. Their catalog spans multiple decades starting from the 1980s. Activity surged in the 2000s when they released 28 games, followed by a decline to 10 releases in the 2010s and only three titles in the 2020s. Genre distribution reveals a clear focus on Card & Board Games with ten entries. Fighting and Arcade games each account for four titles, while Platform, Adventure, and Racing games appear with three entries each. The company also dabbles in Role-playing, Simulator, Strategy, and Shooter genres with two entries per category. Recent output includes Jinsei Game for Nintendo Switch in late 2023 and Waccha PriMagi! Studio in late 2022. Earlier releases from this period include Zoids Wild: Infinity Blast and Duel Masters Play's. Critical reception data remains limited but indicates a generally positive trend where it exists. The company holds only one rated title on the platform, YuYu Hakusho Dai-Ni-Dan: Ankoku Bujutsu Kai-hen from 1993. This single entry carries a rating of 70 out of 100, which places it in the good category. There are no great, mixed, or poor rated titles currently tracked. The average score across all rated entries sits at 70/100. While they have produced games for over four decades, their gaming output has decreased substantially in recent years compared to their peak activity in the early 2000s. Their primary identity remains tied to their toy manufacturing history rather than a diverse software catalog on modern platforms.
