Set up your desk with a tribute to Ultra Games and a fascinating moment in publishing history. Formed in 1988 as a Konami subsidiary, Ultra gave the company an additional North American label while annual console release limits were in force. The label’s catalog reached beyond consoles into handheld and computer releases before it ended in 1992. A natural choice for collectors, players, and anyone who appreciates the business stories behind classic games.
Ultra Software Corporation was a shell corporation and publishing label created in 1988 as a subsidiary of Konami of America. It was formed for the North American market during an era when a console maker's licensing rules limited a third-party publisher to five NES releases per year. Konami had been releasing more than ten games annually for the Famicom and its disk add-on in Japan, so the Ultra Games label expanded its North American annual library to ten releases. Ultra's first NES title was Metal Gear, released in June 1988. The label initially localized existing software from Japan, then also published work from other companies. Its catalog included console, handheld, IBM PC, and Commodore 64 releases. Following the 1991 North American launch of the Super NES, the annual publishing restriction was relaxed. Ultra consequently lost its purpose, and Konami dropped the label in 1992. Its final releases were Ultra Golf and World Circuit Series, both issued in March 1992. A related European subsidiary, Palcom Software Limited, continued until early 1994.
