...To "Bandai Namco."
STOP THE PRESSES!
What? Hey, it might not sound like much to you, but they've got to protect their brandai.
When it comes to avoiding confusion, a little consistency with the naming certainly doesn't hurt. You can't blame them for jumping on the bandai-wagon.
STOP THE PRESSES!
GematsuNamco Bandai Japan is unifying the names of its overseas subsidiaries. In Japan, the company is called Bandai Namco. Overseas, it’s Namco Bandai. But not for long.
At a board of director’s meeting held on January 23, Namco Bandai announced that beginning April 1, the names of its 31 subsidiaries—including six domestic and 25 overseas—will change from Namco Bandai to Bandai Namco.
A note about those six domestic company name changes: though the company is already Bandai Namco in Japan, its name in English writing is still Namco Bandai. Those will change to Bandai Namco. For example, Namco Bandai Games Inc. will become Bandai Namco Games Inc. And overseas, Namco Bandai Games America Inc. will become Bandai Namco Games America Inc., and so on.
What? Hey, it might not sound like much to you, but they've got to protect their brandai.
When it comes to avoiding confusion, a little consistency with the naming certainly doesn't hurt. You can't blame them for jumping on the bandai-wagon.
