Mitchell Corporation (株式会社ミッチェル) is a company headed by Roy Ozaki (尾崎ロイ). [1] It was established on February 1, 1960, by his father and was originally involved in ship building. After his father died, Ozaki and his partner Koichi Niida (仁井田耕一), both of whom previously worked for Data East and TAD, took over in the late 1980s and began distributing arcade PCBs.[1]
In addition to developing video games, Mitchell worked on other products such as coin pushers for Capcom and software for an educational book company.[1] All research and development ceased on November 20, 2012, but Mitchell remained an active company [2] and even attempted to license out its game properties. [3] Mitchell's current status is unknown, however, as its website is no longer online.
