Namco Networks America, Inc. is a developer and publisher of small-scale games targeting the mobile and casual game markets. The startup company based in San Jose, California was strategically acquired by Bandai Namco Holdings and renamed as Namco Networks to serve as its mobile games division.
In November 2010, Namco Networks laid off 90 staffers and stated that more of the work would be shifted to its counterpart in Japan, referring to the division of Bandai Namco Games that was once known as Bandai Networks prior to the merger.
