NAMCO BANDAI STRENGTHENS ITS EUROPEAN MOBILE BUSINESS WITH THE FORMATION OF NAMCO BANDAI NETWORKS EUROPE LTD

London - November 10, 2006 - Namco Europe Ltd's Web & Mobile Content division today announced the formation of a new company aimed at expanding its presence in the maturing mobile content industry in Europe. NAMCO BANDAI Networks Europe Ltd will begin trading as of 1st January 2007. This is part of the overall group restructure plans, following the European restructuring by NAMCO BANDAI Group.

The new company will focus exclusively on mobile entertainment content based not only on well known Namco brands such as PAC-MAN, Galaxian and RIDGE RACER, but also the extensive portfolio of games and non-gaming content which Bandai adds, such as Tamagotchi. In addition, the company plans to publish mobile content created specifically for the European market, from both NAMCO BANDAI and third party developers.

"The creation of NAMCO BANDAI Networks Europe Ltd shows that mobile content remains an essential part of NAMCO BANDAI's business as we continue to invest in the growth of our European organisation," said Masaji Okubo, Managing Director of NAMCO BANDAI Networks Europe Ltd. "Over the coming months our operator and publisher partners - and consumers - will benefit from the increased focus and resources this new company brings. I believe our commitment to delivering a superior mobile experience will see NAMCO BANDAI continue to be one of the industry's most successful mobile publishers."

The new company will be responsible for all aspects of NAMCO BANDAI's mobile entertainment strategy in Europe, including its hugely successful i-mode sites such as PAC-MAN Arcade, and BANDAI Pocket.
