Electronic Arts Victor

Background
Electronic Arts Victor was a joint venture in Japan between Electronic Arts and Victor Entertainment. Its mission was to convert Electronic Arts' library of products to Japanese language and distribute them in Japan, and to create original titles for the Japanese market. In December 1997, Electronic Arts acquired Victor's 35% stake in the venture, and in May 1998 signed a similar joint-venture deal with Square to publish EA titles in Japan, called Electronic Arts Square.
