Heartbeat (company)
Japanese video game developer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heart Beat Inc. (株式会社ハートビート, Kabushiki-gaisha Hāto Bīto) (sometimes Heartbeat)[1] was a Japanese video game developer, famous for developing the sixth and seventh installments of the Dragon Quest series. Heartbeat also developed a remake of Dragon Quest IV. Plans to localize this remake in North America were halted when the employees of Heartbeat decided to take a sabbatical in January 2002.[2] The company stated its reason was "the raise of development costs", despite the massive financial success of its games.[3] Several of its former members created Genius Sonority.[1] The company now appears defunct.
