The origins of Yumekobo are said to be rooted in SNK's financial problems. The arcade veteran was porting its Neo Geo games to the PlayStation and Saturn but did not have enough staff to do so. It may have been decided that having staff all in one building would simplify matters. Before the takeover, a floor of the SNK building was already reserved for Aicom (Some Santos employees may have already been there also.).
