Now Production logo

Now Production (ナウプロダクション) was founded on June 17, 1986. The company's first game was the Famicom version of Metro-Cross. [1] It has since done work for many of Japan's major industry players, including Namco, Hudson, and Konami, even developing installments of popular series such as Splatterhouse, Adventure Island, and Dance Dance Revolution. In recent years, Nowpro has started creating more original, independent titles like PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient for the PlayStation Portable.

Nowpro is also involved with developing mobile software, online games, and pachinko and pachi-slot software/hardware.
