Nintendo has a lot to thank Dimps for. The Japanese developer
arguably single-handedly saved the launch of the 3DS with Street Fighter IV 3D – a title that the specialist press cooed over and early adaptors got particularly excited about. That went on to sell a cool £1.7 million in the UK and peak at number four in the charts. Dimps also released Sonic
Generations and Super Monkey Ball for the 3DS. And it co-develops, ports and produces games for clients including Namco Bandai, Sega and Capcom. Dimps employs 181 staff, and
current president Takashi Nishiyama and managing director Hiroshi Matsumoto are co-creators of the iconicStreet Fighter series.
