The now defunct Vic Tokai Inc division in Torrance, California was tasked with localizing games in North America. All of Vic Tokai's internally developed video games were created with Sunseibu Entertainment, a sister company from the Tokai Group. Sunseibu also had some involvement with the Aicom-developed Vic tokai game The Mafat Conspiracy. The Vic Tokai/Sunseibu duo started in 1984 by developing arcade games for Sega. Vic Tokai/Sunseibu expanded in the home market by developing video games for Nintendo consoles (published by Vic Tokai) and for Sega consoles (published by Sega themselves). In the early 1990s, Vic Tokai, which by then had always self-published video games only for Nintendo consoles, became a Sega licensee for the first time.
