Three years after entering the American sports video game market with Konami XXL Sports Series, the Japanese Konami launched its own brand in 1998 with Konami Sports to sell sports games for the Japanese video game market. Two years later, Konami dropped the brand and decided to sell sports games under the normal Konami label.
