History
Sonic Powered was first formed in Nagoya on February 14, 1995, and incorporated on April 1, 1998.[1] The company was developing games such as Tetris and Space invaders for Sharp Zaurus, a PDA of Japanese brand Sharp.[2][3]
In 2006, the company started developing simulation games such as I am an Air Traffic Controller Airport Hero (for PSP and later for 3DS),[4] and later Japanese Rail Sim 3D for 3DS. The Japanese Rail Sim series uses real-life footage of Japanese railways.[5] Some of their games have been localized outside of Japan, including games in the Airport Hero and Japanese Rail Sim series.
