“As we kick off the year as the new NAMCO BANDAI Games, strategic partnerships are a key focus for us, stated the Vice President of Marketing at NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., Carlson Choi. “Under this new partnership, I look forward to leveraging our strengths and capabilities with Saban Brands to increase our mutual reach with high quality game content. We are definitely excited to bring the Power Rangers series under our roster of titles.”
