Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the busy-little-ninjas dept.

simoniker writes "Japan-based game developer Tose has 1,000 employees, and has created 1,100 game SKUs since 1979 (including Final Fantasy GBA versions, though they can't mention it in this interview!), but they're basically unknown, because they're 'game development ninjas', and 'refuse to put [their] names on the game'. Odd stuff."

    Like, they can TOTALLY FLIP OUT and WRITE GAMES?
