Namco Bandai Changes Name To Bandai Namco

The Power of A Good Name 

January 24th, 2014, By Dean Howard

After Namco and Bandai merged in 2005, there has been a few issues regarding its name. In Japan the company is named Bandai Namco, while in the west we know it as Namco Bandai.

This difference is finally being cleared up after board directors decided to unify all thirty-one subsidiaries, twenty-five overseas and three in Japan, to the official name of Bandai Namco.

The company said this decision was made to enhance the brand's value and appeal world-wide. As a result even the video game subdivision of Namco Bandai Games, will now be known as Bandai Namco Games.
