Sonic Powered Co., Ltd. is a Japanese software development company based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. It mainly focuses on mobile and console games, and software for business purposes.
Sonic Powered was first formed in Nagoya on February 14, 1995. Then incorporated on April 1, 1998. [1] The company was developing games such as Tetris [2] and Space invaders [3] for Sharp Zaurus, a PDA of Japanese brand Sharp.
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] A few of the Airport Hero and most of the Japanese Rail Sim games are translated and released in North America and Europe. And following the game Waku Waku Sweets: Happy Sweets Making for 3DS being localized and released in 2018, over 4 years after its original release in Japan, [6] it seems fair to assume the company is not focusing solely on the Japanese market anymore.
Game in all territories: Actraiser Renaissance (2021, Switch, PS4)
Games only in Japanese:
Games also released in other languages:
