Digimon is a series of role-playing video games and other genres (such as fighting, action, and card battling) published by Namco Bandai Games (formerly Bandai). Most of the games have been developed by Namco Bandai Games, with other companies such as Griptonite Games and Dimps also developing some titles. The games have been released for a variety of home and handheld game consoles such as the PlayStation, Nintendo DS, and Bandai's own WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color. The series started in 1998 with the Japan-exclusive game Digital Monster Ver. S: Digimon Tamers for the Sega Saturn. The most recently released games are 2011's Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Red and Blue for the DS.[1]
The series revolves around the eponymous Digimon creatures and their human "Tamers", who both serve as player and non-player characters depending on the game. Gameplay focuses on battles between Digimon, with Tamers present or otherwise. The creatures can "Digivolve" back and forth between several evolutionary forms.[2] Due to gameplay similarities, Digimon has experienced rivalry with the equally successful Pokémon series. However, it has maintained a dedicated fanbase.[3]
