Though initially exclusive to arcades, they expanded with theSega Genesisin 1990. The company ceased development of shoot 'em up projects before declaring bankruptcy in 1994. Several offshoot developers such asTamsoft,Eighting,CAVE,Gazelle,andTakumi Corporationwere formed prior to and after the closure, while former members later joined to other studios such asBandai Namco Entertainment,Capcom,Square EnixandTaito.Toaplan has since earned recognition from critics, being called one of the greatest and most influential Japanese shoot 'em up developers and "master" of the scrolling shooter genre.[1][2]

History

edit

Toaplan was established in April 1979 but its gaming division was established by former Orca and Crux members.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]Performanwas created by most of the same team that previously worked on several projects at Orca and Crux before both companies declared bankruptcy,[17][18][19][20]after which a group of employees from the two gaming divisions would go on to form Toaplan and among them werecomposersMasahiro Yuge andTatsuya Uemura.[6][10][11][12][13]

In 1992, Yoshiyuki Kiyomoto stepped down from his position as CEO at Toaplan, with Taizo Hayashi now serving as the company's president.[21][22]Toaplan provided consultance and advising toRaizing(nowEighting) during the development ofSorcer Striker,as well as licensing their arcade board to the company, since the president of the latter company previously served as an employee of the former.[23][24]Snow Bros. 2: With New Elvesserved as one of the final projects to be developed by Toaplan, as the company ceased development ofshoot 'em upgames before their closure.[10][25]

The company declaredbankruptcyon March 31, 1994.[25][26]Its closure led to the formation of several offshoot companies.[27][28]Prior to Toaplan's closure in 1994, several former employees formed or were involved with multiple companies, many of which were dedicated to arcade shooters:[29][30][31][32][33][34][35]Tamsoft,Raizing,CAVE,Gazelle,andTakumi(who continued development ofTwin Cobra IIafter Toaplan's closure).

The rights to nearly every ToaplanIPare currently owned by Tatsujin, a Japanese company formed by Yuge.[36][37][38][39][40][41]In 2019, Japanese companyM2announced that in 2020 they will release every game by Toaplan (excludingMahjong SistersandEnma Daiō) for consoles in Japan.[42][43][44][45]In August 2022, Tatsujin was acquired byEmbracer Groupfor a retro gaming focused operative group.[46]In September 2023, close toTokyo Game Show2023, TATSUJIN announced new projects, such asTruxton Extreme,[47]Snow Bros. Wonderland[48](both games being sequels to their respective series) andAmusement Arcade TOAPLAN,a compilation of 25 Arcade games for smartphones.[49]
