History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (June 2024)

Takeru published Cocoron, developed by K2 in 1991. The game was directed by Akira Kitamura, who had previously directed Mega Man 1 and 2.

Takeru developed Little Samson, which was published by Taito.

Takeru's 1991 adventure game Nostalgia 1907 sold poorly, and financially hurt the company.

A port of Cocoron to the PC-Engine, titled PC Cocoron was announced, however, it was unreleased.

As Sur dé Wave they also released a Game Boy car adapter power cable and a game controller by the name of Mega Blaster.
